There's many things that can cause allergy. How sure are you it is the food? And there's so many other disease that can look like allergy too. Even fleas can cause allergy.

If it is truly food, then you can find out what type of food is causing it. Just avoid it then. If your cat is allergic to many different types of food, then getting some hypoallergy food would help some. You can get those food from the vet.

Hi Dr Nat,

The vet said no fleas. I sent him for check up because his ears started to bleed..too much scratching. He recommended me to change his food (Now i feed him RC fussy eaters) and so far he's OK. He was thin before and now, he's gaining weight...i think he likes the food :)
