[QUOTE="john, post: 2187140, member: 5463"] I adopted a beautiful, 1 and 1/2 year old long-haired gray and white cat a week ago, and she's doing well but I have been forced to feed her real fish and chicken. She won't eat the dry food I had, and I bought the food she had supposedly been eating at the Pet Center (Chicken Soup for the Soul Cat Food), but she doesn't seem to be eating that either. Today I brought her Newman's Own wet food, and she got excited when I opened it but I think she barely ate any. So far I have only seen her fully and happily eat grilled salmon and McDonalds chicken selects (I ate the breaded exterior, and she ate the chicken insides ;) So I have two questions: 1) How can I get my pretty new cat to eat dry cat food again? 2) If I only feed her real meat will she get proper nutrition? I have read that cats get calcium in the wild by digesting animal bones, and so they need mineral supplements in their food. So if I never feed her cat food will she get sufficient nutrition?
