I'm a raw feeder now, so I haven't fed kibble in over 2 years. She came to me as a kitten of 8 months and didn't crunch the kibble even then. She was always hungry and I guess she figured it was quicker to swallow it whole. Rolling Eyes

Though, actually, cats naturally swallow food whole.

I hope you find a vet you trust and that things go well.

True, though they don't get kibble in their "natural" diet. I wish I could get them to eat whole prey. I've put chicken wings & other stuff down and they give me the look of "WHAT am I supposed to do with THIS?"

Thanks for your support!
