Great Shadow update

2 weeks ago on the way back from the cat show the boys breeder and groomer called in to visit and help me out by giving the boys a long overdue groom. Breeder said was so lovely to see the grown up boys. Hard to believe its 9 years since she delivered them to me. They gave her lots cuddles. Anyway we were talking about the fact that Shadow regularly vomits after eating so she asked what I feed him. Told her Royal Canin. Well it turns out she has Buddy from the same litter and he can't have Royal Canin makes him vomit too. She also said since Royal Canin moved to China she and alot of the breeders have stopped using it as found it wasn't as good anymore and were having issues with adult cats refusing to eat it and tummy upsets and were finding the kittens wern't thriving anymore so after trying various foods had changed to Purina pro plan. When her and the groomer were grooming the boys they also noticed both boys coats were very oily and Shadow has bad dandruff which I knew but have never been able to get rid off even after many vet visits.. Anyway she gave me some samples of the purina pro plan kitten starter to give Shadow she said would give him a extra boost after the rough time he's been thru. I told the vet about buddy and asked what he thought when took Shadow to get his stitches out. He said Purina pro plan is a good food so slowly transition them over a week and see what happens. Was very interesting Zimba who was pretty much refusing all wet food lately is now happily eating wet food again with great gusto. I started by mixing the purina pro plan in with the royal canin well mr smarty pants (Zimba) would eat the purina and leave the royal canin in the bowl lol. Zimba is still eating the royal canin dental mixed with the hills in his maze feeder to finish the bag. At first he refused the purina pro plan oral kibble but over last couple days have seen him eating it.. Shadow is eating the Purina pro plan wet food and also the Purina pro plan oral with great gusto without any vomiting. Its so nice to finally have a kibble I can give him and finally for the first time in years his dandruff is pretty much all gone. 2 very content boys
and 1 very happy mum.

That's such great news Helen and I giggled when I read about Zimba:
Mr smarty pants (Zimba) would eat the Purina and leave the Royal Canin in the bowl...
Zimba's personality reminds me so much of Fluff...
