Could the Purina be more filling for her do you think, so she isn't as hungry? She is pooping just fine (actually maybe a little better than before...

In reply to: Kate 's message, "Maggie has me a bit worried.....she isn't exactly acting sick...but she also isn't exactly acting like herself either.....
I was feeding her Hills Science Diet for Senior but, of course, the only store around here that carried it only has it sporadically and I got tired ot being scared of running out, so we decided to change her over....Several weeks ago we started changing her over (very very slowly) to Purina One for Seniors. I started out with two cups to one of Hills to Purina..then went half and half, and now I'm down to two cups of Purina to one cup of Hills....and now she doesn't seem to be eating very well..." on 4:18:47 am, Tue, 07/24/07

Boy, I'm really late getting here today (exceptionally bad night last night) but geez, Kate, I really don't have any suggestions for you on this one, except that it does sound to me like perhaps Maggie just doesn't like her new food. Have you ever considered ordering her food online? This is something I never did but lately, I don't mind ordering stuff that way and my daughter uses online ordering to get her Advantage for her cats........and at quite a discount over Petco or the vet's office. But Denise is much more knowledgeable about cat food than I would ever claim to be and you can always ask Lloyd too, since I know he monitors the board. And I've said this before.........even though Hill's is made right here in my city, I don't particularly care for their food. Too many grains. But I'd try Petco or Petsmart online and order your food that way. Then you don't have to worry about whether or not the store will have it. (NT) -- Sandy, 1:24:02 pm, Tue, 07/24/07
Try Maxximum (Wal-Mart store brand) Indoor/Hairball/Senior. Its the one in the green bag. Chicken meal and Chicken are the first two ingredients. No by-products. 8 pound bag goes for $10.49. (NT) -- Lloyd, 3:11:36 pm, Tue, 07/24/07
Thank you Lloyd.... (NT) -- Kate, 7:12:23 pm, Tue, 07/24/07
Sorry to hear you had such a bad night Sandy....hope you are feeling better tonight????
the food I ended up getting I can find on-line, so if Tractor Supply quits handeling it, then I'll be able to order it and have it shipped.....I was trying to get away from that because of the cost in shipping, but what can you do!! (NT) -- Kate, 7:14:03 pm, Tue, 07/24/07
