All right. I am going to weigh in on this. I too also once worked in the pet store industry and I too bought into the gimmicky advertisements of "high end" pet food brands such as Blue Buffalo, Wilderness etc. However, the honest to god truth is: 1.) Cats must be fed mostly either pure meat...

We're a Fancy Feast household over here. Although, I occasionally rotate in some Nutro Natural Choice and Nature's Variety. Friskies is just too low down the totem pole for me to go on the totem pole. I would definitely suggest Fancy Feast if you can make it work. I would also suggest sometimes...

I would not go with the dry food. At all. I hate to go against a vet's rec, but I would not do it. In fact, I think the best thing here is to get a second opinion from another vet.

Well, I feed mine five flavors of Fancy Feast. They get four cans a day between the two of them, so yes that is expensive. What I do is save up like a hundred bucks per month from my paychecks and then buy them five cases - one for each flavor. It usually lasts me about a month and a half to two...

Admiral Ramsey and Lady Twyla. LOL!

Fancy Feast.

You cannot feed cats a vegan diet. Cats are obligate carnivores. If you feed them a vegetarian or vegan diet, your cat will become severely sick and die. That is the epitome of animal cruelty right there. If you cannot bring yourself to feed your cat what it needs, you need to surrender him or...

Dude, that is awful! That was one of the best wet foods on the market and I have rotated it with all of my cats and had great success. UGH! Is it all being discontinued?

So, I had to share this here because it is an intriguing find. I was shopping for a dry food that I could feed my big boy for lunch - and by feed I mean give him only a tablespoon - and I found this. Dr. Elsey's cleanprotein Chicken Formula Grain-Free Dry Cat Food As it stands now, my two...

Hmm, there could be several reasons for this. He sounds like a classic dry food addict and if that is the case there are some steps you can take to make him more enthusiastic about wet food. May I ask how you feed him? That is to say do you have scheduled feeding times? I do. I feed my cats at...

Honestly, the best thing for all cats, especially cats with any kind of urinary tract issues, is a strict wet food diet.

I am currently using Revolution and it works wonderfully! However, my cats also had a roundworm issue when I adopted them from their rescue (roundworm is so common) - so I needed something that could treat that issue for several months. When I do not have several issues to address, I use...

I only feed five flavors of Fancy Feast, so I have no idea which one is their favorite. But they seem to love all five of the classic pate flavors I feed them. They are 1. Fancy Feast Classic Turkey and Giblets Feast 2. Fancy Feast Classic Tender Beef and Chicken Feast 3. Fancy Feast Classic...

My little girl Twyla loves cheese, too...but she has sticky, slightly mushy stools as is. So, I have stopped giving her cheese even as a treat. She protests, but alas for her, it seems to help. :lol:

I just changed my rotation a bit. My cats do NOT like the Nutro Natural Choice slices in gravy and I refuse to feed them the Fancy Feast grilled slices in gravy anymore because they contain wheat gluten. So here is a list (by brand) of the flavors I feed my kitties. Please note that I feed...
