My cat won’t eat kibble even soaked in goat milk; it drinks the milk and leaves the kibble, and mixing in canned food doesn’t work either. It only eats our steamed buns, eight-treasure porridge, and dried squid. Forcing it for two days didn’t work and it sometimes vomited; now at three months it’s still thin. Can I give it our non-spicy human food?
Refusing kibble is serious pickiness; stop giving human foods like buns, porridge, and squid, which harm the cat with additives. Onion, chocolate, grapes, and leeks are toxic. Try other-flavor kibble (pigeon, beef, fish) or wet food.
