Cat Food, what to feed?

[HufflyPuffly]

Mumbles for myself **they are just trying to cradle her into false security thinking the experiment changing to healthier food is going to be easy peasy**

Seriously though, fingers crossed that the change of foods goes well.

This is my suspicion but I will wait and see, I might still give them some Whiskas wet food as they do do ok on it (plus I have a tonne to use up!).

Pets at home used to do a really reasonably priced high meat dry food which I fed mine on. After a fairly long and protracted battle of wills he's now raw fed and looks amazing for it!

Oh interesting I thought Pets at Home might be quite pricey, I'm going to price check against what I've paid at Farm and Pet, the online stores and Pets at Home if the cats carry on eating it!

I thought they'd love raw being more natural, but mine don't seem that excited by it so far?

But have you checked if the stars is aligned, which position the moon is in, and asked the fairies if today was the right day to serve raw?

???

Apparently I did not, as the raw food has been deemed not edible so far by anyone but Tiger...

The wee pest is trying to butter me up ?

Aww!

My cat would only eat cat food. No raw not a chance with human and if he didn't fancy the brand in he had in the morning at night he would turn his nose up and kill a songbird didnt eat it but he knew I hated him doing it. He was a real horror but We both adored him. He might eat a brand of food for a few days but as soon as you bought more than 1 tin/packet etc he would say no

Mine so far haven’t really been that picky... I feel I might be creating the problem / four food monsters ??

I want another kitten.

The answer is always get a kitten!

 

[windand rain]

I would love another ktten am more a cat person than dog person but I don't like the smell of litter trays in the house and would be unfair to expect a young kitten to live outside or to have to do both live in when we are here and out when we are not

Me too ?

Mine really only like Felix pouches and mainly fish flavours. Dry food I often give a few Felix mix or Dreamies and vary other dry food depending on what’s on offer at Pets at Home. They don’t seem to like the more expensive pouches like Lily’s Kitchen or Applaws and I’m not complaining. I’m convinced Felix is the equivalent of McDonalds but my last two lived to 16 and 18 on a similar diet.

I want a kitten! Fingers crossed I manage to find a new job I'm hopefully getting a ragdoll around October time. Obviously if not I'll unfortunately have to tell the breeder whose waiting list I'm on I cant have one this time around :'(
Can we have some more Huffle photos you know just to fully view her to ensure we are making the right recommendations for food ?

Queen of the manor on her throne ?

I really hope I can get one, using a little bit of my redundancy payment combined with birthday money I can finally get one but obviously wont until I have a new job i follow the breeder on Facebook and she keeps posting kitten photos its making me extra broody ?

Apparently my parents tried Poppy with a tiny bit of ice cream this evening and despite being greedy madam turned her nose up at it! Yet my dear sadly no longer with us little girl who we suspected of being at least part Forest Cat, used to sit and wait whenever she heard the desert bowls knowing a little ice cream was coming she would occasionally even tremble with excitement

Now that's a Throne!! ?

 

[JennBags]

OMG, I never knew feeding a cat could be so complicated. I've just rehomed an outside cat for my yard, Desmond, he's 10 years old, very timid and was delivered yesterday. I've not really seen him much yet, he was hiding behind a box in his crate. Today I need to go and get him some more food, he came with some Purina biscuits and Felix pouches but doesn't sound like this is the best diet. Better just get a few small selections and see how he gets on. He's being crated 24/7 at the moment, fed morning and evening and I'm to let him out a week on Monday then pray he come back!

What's that you say? You need a picture? Oh ok then ?

Ah that is a much more fitting throne for such a regal queen ? I really hope I can get one too.

She loves her throne ??, unfortunately little one apparently can get up there now too ?, she’s definitely going to be trouble!


Raw is a definite no ??‍, will try some different wet food...

? Ragdolls are something else! Amazing breed ?, though I love my moggies too x

 

[Ownedby4horses]

They are so lovely. I love Ragdolls (and Maine coons). I have to share, I stumbled across pictures of Norwegian Forest cats earlier today, they are something else! Approx weight for a male is 10kgs.

 

[Michen]

I feel Appleaws. Bob is just free fed the biscuits and eats about 15 pounds a month worth. He is a picture of health.

Our have always had supermarket food really until my mum's elderly cat refused to eat unless she was a)at the table with the humans, and b)eating the human food off the c)human plate. So she got blended roast chicken with gravy and white fish (you used to be able to get frozen white fish cubes at the supermarket) she also tried curry (did not approve ?) and she loved cheese, marmite toast and yoghurt. At this point she was 19 and given 6 weeks to live due to cancer and lived to 21. My grandma's cat lived to 26 on supermarket food and the local rat population.

Sorry for poop talk at this time of a morning! Squirrels were looking loads better from the grain free dry (though I’m not sure they are eating as much of it as they would whiskas).

Then I tried her on some Harrington’s (Aldi has it as a special buy, it said all natural and meaty so thought I’d try). Well Squirrel went nuts for it, but initial poop after was really soft (but no more blood)? Could it be all the food swapping? She’s had some Whiskas too so not just a straight swap?
