Changing your cat’s food should be done slowly and carefully to prevent stomach problems or them not liking the new food. Begin by mixing 25% of the new food with 75% of the old food for the first few days. Slowly add more of the new food every few days until it fully replaces the old food in about 7 to 10 days. Watch your cat for signs of discomfort, like throwing up or diarrhea. Make sure the new food has all the nutrients your cat needs. If your cat has special dietary needs, talk to your vet for advice. Being patient and consistent will help make the change easier and less stressful for your cat.
