What to do in the first 24 hours

Brilliant! They’re on their way to a healthier life.

Here’s what to do next:

Stick to Cluck! for 3-4 days, then introduce another recipe, stick to that one for 2-3 days, and repeat with each new flavour

Put away their other processed food for good: you only need to feed them KatKin’s fresh-cooked meals from now on.

Don’t worry about runnier-than-usual poops or a little vomiting – their digestive system is adjusting and it’s totally normal in the first few days, and should subside quickly. (If this hasn't improved after a couple of days or you're worried about their overall health, we recommend discussing this with your vet.)

No problem – they’ll come around soon. Cats are instinctively cautious of new food, and some can take longer to start eating a new food. Your cat needs more time to adapt to the change, so here’s what to do:

Try a slow switch instead:

Reintroduce half the amount of their old food, and put down half a tray of Cluck with it with Sprinkles. Do that at every meal time.

Once they start eating KatKin, you can start to reduce the amount of their old food in the bowl, until they’re eating only KatKin.

Try another recipe:

If they still aren’t eating Cluck after three days, try another recipe alongside their old food, again trying it for at least three days with plenty of Sprinkles. After Cluck, we recommend Gobble, Quack and Mooo.

Experiment to find their preference:

Play with your cat before meals to trigger their hunting instincts.

If your cat’s bowl is in a corner, try finding an open, airy, but protected space – under a table often works well. Remember not to watch them while they eat: act naturally.

Try out a new texture by adding more water to their bowl and mashing it up. Or give smaller portions if they are used to grazing throughout the day.

Don’t give up:

If your cat sniffs and walks away, that doesn’t mean they don’t like it. They’re getting to know it – how it looks and smells – and they’ll get more comfortable with the idea of tasting it every time, so be persistent.
