one of mine is greedy - ie will eat & eat - even prior to the overactive thyroid diagnosis (& meds started).  woudn't it be easier to ENSURE she doesn't get dried in her tummy by stopping feeding it to any of your cats?  More meds can't be good for the cat is my feeling

better may not be cheaper! personally I think frankenprey is better than pre-mixed raw - it MUST be cheaper also.  transitioning them with a bit of raw peices mixed in with the wet is the way I am doing it.  I can't see the point of giving cats minced raw - when chewing chunks is better for...

what about Butchers Classic tins? most supermarkets sell it (I'm in London, UK) chunks in gravy - no fillers (1 of mine has allergies to "usual" supermarket wet foods, of all prices - read the ingredients a long list a no-no!) Animonda Carni tins are excellent too - cost more & you need to...

go to the website completely raw & proud there is a list of things essential to include in raw feeding.  such as offal, bone, egg yolks etc - just raw muscle meat isn't sufficient nutrition for the cats health.

what about feeding?  my tabby had problems with furballs & constipation. since stopping feeding dried food & incorparating raw (50/50 raw & tinned) her breath doesnt reek like it did

separate the cats when feeding! seriously - any quality dried food is not doing any cats much good. whereas any quality wet food is best. the cats constipated cos the body hasnt got sufficient hydration to poop!

you can trim the cats claws - I do this as 1 of mine was a curtain swinger in her youth.  Then continued so I don't get a sharp awakening for their breakfast. I use clumping litter & a garden spade (no liner - they just get shreded/ it's a faff).  I wash in the tub - just clean the tub...

my two are 14 & 15 years old respectively.  I changed them from 5o/50 dried & canned (go-cat & felix) to organic 100% dried, to 50/50 better quality dried/canned then to 100% canned & now to 50/50 raw/canned.  this last bit has only been the past 2 months - the prior changes took place over...
