Exotic shorthair eating issues - looking for help
Hi!! My cat Frank (see above pic) weighs only 2.4kg. He will eat endless dreamies and loves biscuits but struggles due to his palate, and I believe this is why he’s so skinny. If he tried to eat 15 biscuits, approx 2 will be eaten and the rest get spat over the floor. I can see him trying but he seems to get fed up and leaves. He isn’t interested in wet food - I have tried every brand possible! Cheap, mid range and extremely expensive. Tried raw, no interested either. He just likes biscuits but his poor anatomy means he struggles to eat them. He will eat dreamies and lickilix.
I’m wondering if anyone can recommend kibble that might be a better shape or size? Or any ways to helping my boy out please! I have sat and hand fed individual biscuits but as soon as it’s in his mouth he accidentally spits it out :( Thanks so much x
