She's a beauty! I hope you do manage to get her to at least be
an indoor/outdoor cat. We've had cats that didn't like being
with other cats even in our all-indoor multi-cat household. If
there's enough space, they will work it out among themselves
eventually, but it's tough while you're waiting for that to
happen!

Oh, you know I'm feeding her a brand you disapprove of. I've had
good results with science diet with all my cats. We recently
tried to switch to a Blue brand, Blue Buffalo or something, all
natural. They hated it!
I did see immediate results in her fur, once she started eating
regularly. I supplement with skin and fur treats.

I would prefer to avoid Hills Science Diet, but my cat is on a
prescription food from Hills that really helps with her
digestive issues. I tried other brands first but this is what
works. Luckily she likes it.

I've been making a habit of reading the food labels and have
tried other brands. There was an "organic" brand in the same
aisle as science diet so we tried a few cans. They seemed to
like it at first, but they got tired of it or something and we
ended up tossing leftovers. Can you believe that? Cats that
didn't eat wet food!?!

I have The Evil Stranger Kitty on a variety of Science Diet that
calls itself "Perfect Digestion," whatever the heck that's
supposed to mean, and it's salmon & rice, and he likes it.
Which is a big plus, in my book -- he absolutely HATES the
chicken-flavored regular stuff, and he refused to touch the
"digestive issues" version, and there's nothing more
disheartening than to see a cat take a bite of something,
freeze, then spit it out. I like a kitty with an appetite!
He's FIV+, poor thing, so I'm a lot more nervous about him not
wanting to eat than I would be with one that was hale and hearty
and feeling finicky.
So, anyway, the Perfect Digestion salmon & rice has at least one
"for" vote, for what that's worth.

> I say rescue, but if I'm being honest, I stole her, right off
the street. She was "living" at a business, that had stopped
doing business at that location and said they were temporarily
operating out of the other town facility. I saw her on our break
walks. I started feeding her and making sure she had water also.
She was skinny, and had bumps under her fur. Her fur was very
thin. The best I can piece together on her past, she belonged to
a woman across the street from the business. She also had
another cat but Honey doesn't like other cats. So I would see
her just about every day, most days twice a day for a year. I
figured her "owner" had her fixed, because I never saw kittens.
One day I brought a kitty carrier with me to work and after work
I swung by her hangout, picked her up and put her in the carrier
and brought her home.

escaped the house and I was worried that she would run off. But
she didn't. She's been living in my yard. I have a cat flap door
to my garage and we've managed to get her accustomed to coming
in the garage. So in the winter she spends time there. When it's
nice out she finds places in the yard to hang out.

still skinny as heck. Her fur has improved a lot, it's still
filling in, after a year of regular feeding and treats :-)

Oh I hear you on this one. I have one diabetic cat, who can
only have special canned food. Since he gets canned, I bought
cans for my other 2 kitties....turns out one of these kitties
(who was a stray, and ate garbage?!?!) is the pickiest cat I
have ever had. We've gone through a few brands. The only kind
she will eat is Fancy Feast Gourmet Naturals (we call it Extra
Fancy Feast).

In the beginning, Honey would eat anything. Now, she's more
picky than the 2 inside cats!
