My nephew(16) called me a month ago saying their cat Hazel was refusing to eat her weight management food. Vet’s orders. He told me his dad has given up on trying to get her to switch, even though she was still overweight. I told him ‘75% old food and 25% new food in the first week, 50/50 in the second week, 75% new food in the third week and 100% new food from the fourth week on.
It worked. At first my brother thought my nephew figured this out himself but then my nephew said that I told him how to do it. My brother said I should have told him this since it’s ‘embarrassing’ thinking that his son is smarter than him. I never thought that he would feel like his son is smarter just from a solution to one problem but that that’s how he felt.
