I'm tired, so just to make sure I have this clear, Kaffe. I should give them a kibble sized bite or two of raw in with their kibbles. And for Herne(the timid one), give him an ice cube of frozen raw for the night. Would that be next to his kibble dish? Please bear with me. I switched 4 ferrets to raw, but they were easy compared to the kitties  !

Thanks . They have been eating in the bathroom, on the counter, since we've had them. We started them there because they've always been free fed and we had dogs(who have since passed over the bridge). One started being fed in the bedroom because he no longer tolerates the other cats very well, and the feeling is mutual. Healthwise, everything checks out. He simply preferred the dogs, and they are gone. We've tried to reintegrate him, but at his age, he's having nothing to do with it ! I've tried putting the food up at night, and set a schedule, but then the night feeder simply starves himself(very timid and highstrung Siamese).
As to the two who will try canned, I have tried them on raw, and yes, they'll eat a bit , two or three bites, but at least it's something . Now you know why I wrote "hopefully" in the title !

Hi, I've got 4 cats I'd love to transition from kibble to raw, but I really need some help. My oldest(14 yrs) is a kibble addict, will only eat in the bedroom(on the bed), next(10yrs), and youngest(4yrs) are most amenable to canned. One (8yrs) sleeps in the basement most of the time (his choice), and generally will only eat at night, or early morning! Can anyone help me with this quandry?
