My cat Malcolm (the orange tabby in the photo, taken one month ago) used to be a hefty 17 lb. cat. Once I switched all my cats to grain-free foods, he lost weight and went down to 14 lbs. For several years I fed all my cats canned food in the morning, and dry food at night, all grain-free with constant rotation of different brands and flavors.
Every spring and summer, Malcolm had allergies. His nose broke out in itchy scabs, all the hair on his ears fell off and scabs formed there too, and he licked hot spots over his elbows just like a dog. I treated him with the occasional homeopathic remedy but it never really made a difference.
Last fall, 10 months ago, I stopped feeding the cats dry food altogether. Now I put raw food in the bottom of their bowls, and smash some canned food into that. About half of them will eat the raw food willingly, and Malcolm is one of them. All the cats lost weight again. Malcolm is now a normal 10 or 11 lbs.
And he has had no allergy symptoms this year. Not a scab or a scratch.
Just from removing the dry food.
Crazy, huh?
