How to make kitten eat new food?
I have been trying to get my kitten to switch from purina to wellness and the transition is not working.. I put some of both in a bowl and she only eats the purina! Any ideas on how to make her eat the wellness without making her starve?

Just give it more time. She will get used to it. My Lucy came to me eating Purina and Iams and I started mixing in my Wellness right away and slowly phased out the other stuff. I was lucky because she seems like she will eat just about anything. But you might try giving her some of the mixture soaked in a little warm water until she gets used to the new taste. Lucy was used to having her food mushy so I did that at first and it seemed to make the other cats think that the bowl had something really special in it. It enhances the smell a bit. I had to push them away to let her eat her mush. Just be patient and give her time to adjust. Leia is adorable!! I just love torties!! I have two.
