New Cat Food

I put my cat Madison on some new cat food "Natural Balance Green Pea and Duck Formula" and he keeps having to make in his litterbox -- so far three times today when he usually goes only once a day.  Is this something to be concerned about?

hi I also replied to your first post.....I believe its just because his system is becoming accustomed to the change in diet....
read the site I sent and it will give you alot more info on diets....this doctor recommends raw food diet however there is also great info on basic nutrition and what brands of commercial food are best.

As you guys know, I don't know anything about cats, still learning,,,,but I would imagine as far as changing to a different brand of food, with dogs its done by adding just a small amount of the 'new food" in with the food they had been eating. ,,,,gradually increasing the new food and less old food until its all the new brand... Otherwise they will get diarrhea.  So I would guess cats might need the same type of plan for changing to a new brand (?)

Thanks Myown.  It is the same way with cats.  I have been mixing the two foods so his body can adjust better to the new food but he just seems to be making more since giving him the new food.

Oh okay. Hopefully soon things will be back to normal.
take care Linda:)
