I don't know why this randomly crossed my mind today but I'm wondering... I know foods that are nutritionally complete generally say they meet AAFCO standards and such but I also know that most people say the recommendations for feeding amounts on cans/bags of food are usually a gross...

Do you feed your cat the same amount of food per day or the same amount of calories per day? We just moved to an all wet diet and I'm having a little trouble... Some of the canned foods have less calories than others so I have been calculating the calories needed per day and giving portions to...

I'm curious what people are serving their cat's food on... I was feeding Molly from a small bowl but some food always ended up stuck along the edges and I read that bowls aren't great for their whiskers... So, this morning I tried a saucer and though she seemed to enjoy it, when she was...

Just a heads up to those of you that feed this food... I was looking into adding it to my rotation and emailed the company to see if they offered samples... Below is the response that I got... Thank you for contacting Natural Balance Pet Foods Customer Care. Please know that at this time we...

I know this is a personal preference thing, I am just curious what others would choose. I know some people choose not to feed things like carrageenan and by-products which are in a lot of lower grade foods. I also know that most agree that rotation/variety is best. So I am curious... if your...

I have a few weeks worth of dry food left and then I am trying to make the jump to 100% wet. I am wondering how many feedings people do with wet only though and how they are spaced out? I've read some things that say cats shouldn't go more than 12 hours without eating which means I'd either...

I'm curious if anyone has used the Paws and Claws brand from Tractor Supply? It seems comparable to Friskies and I know many here say Friskies is o.k. and part of their rotation. We already buy the 4health from Tractor Supply so I figured maybe I'd just get that too since it's a little cheaper...

I know all the talk about rotation due to food allergies and brand recalls and such. That all makes perfect sense and I do rotate those. I have also seen it mentioned that you should rotate textures/types of food as well like pate, shredded, flaked etc.... Is there a reason behind that as well...

I'm just curious how many brands people typically rotate? How many different proteins? Do you always buy the same foods or sometimes grab random things on sale? Rotate by the day? The meal? Whenever a can is empty?

I have read a little about this line of food here but it doesn't seem to be mentioned often. From the few posts I read, some people called it "a step up from FF" and say it is slightly better quality than Sheba as well. I am curious to see more thoughts on it... What makes it a little better...

Sorry for so many questions lately, just trying to figure this all out! As some of you read in my other posts, I have a 9.5 year old female DSH that was free fed dry all her life. About a month ago, I came across this site and started adding wet food into her diet. We started slow with just 1...

I've seen many people talk about rotating brands in case of recalls... I'm wondering though, do you make sure the foods are actually made by different companies too? We are on a semi-tight budget so we've been rotating 4health, FF classics, Pro Plan true nature and I was thinking about adding...

This may be a stupid question but I'm curious about freeze dried treats... I have seen a lot of people here mention things like Purebites and I see these are freeze dried RAW. I don't feed my cat a raw diet and am honestly a little nervous about raw foods... Do these carry any risk for things...

What size cans of food do you buy and how long do you keep them in the fridge after opening? I've heard that the bigger cans are cheaper per oz. but I only have 1 cat and right now we are slowly moving her from an all dry diet to a 50/50 combo diet so she only eats about 1.5oz of canned food...

I've been reading a lot here lately and have seen some posts where people mention offering a variety of protein sources but then I saw a post where someone recommended a poster stay away from the "exotic" proteins like venison and lamb because you want to save some proteins in case your cat...

Hi everyone! I've been reading here for several weeks but have just created an account to post! I have a 9.5 year old female Tuxedo cat that has been a kibble kitty all her life :oops:. I have recently found this site and realized how badly we were feeding her all this time! Over the last month...
