Some years ago, our cat developed painful bladder and urinary stones from the magnesium in the food we had been feeding him. After the surgery we switched him to Science Diet of which he refused to eat. It took three days of dumping his refused food and replenishing it before he finally accepted defeat and started eating again. I don’t know why the cheaper brands added magnesium to their recipes back then, but I think it has been pretty much eliminated from pet foods these days.
we don’t sweat it if any of the cats start getting finicky. all it takes is a few visits next door to eat what the neighbor serves for them to realize that our restaurant is better… ☺

Yes, been there, bought it, still have it on the shelf (waiting to be rotated on the menu again)!

Sigh. Just give it to Crumb. :)

Rarely see or hear of a cat starving to death. Unless he’s supplementing with wildlife, Mog will be back.
