  Before starting a new diet, talk to your vet if you have any doubts about your cat’s health and whether or not she can safely go a day where she might refuse the new food. Cats with cancer, diabetes, thyroid issues, or kidney damage – or very old cats – cannot run the risk of going without food. Your vet will tell you if your cat needs to make that diet switchover very swiftly. The issue isn’t whether your cat can benefit from the better diet, but how to make the transition to the new improved food quickly, without putting strain on her system during the switchover that might entail fasting as a reaction to the new food.
