    New to the site..new Cat Mom here!

    My vet specialized in cat nutrition - he did not like the ingredients in the other types. I've had other vets say the same thing- Fancy Feast is fine if you stick to Classic.

    What DRY food do you feed your cat(s), and their ages? I need something more affordable but good.

    Feral Mom and one kitten TNR’d now in my Room, Fear level 10

    Leave At Home Or Take Along?

    It really depends on the cat. My calico would not eat & threw her hair if left at home or boarded, she loved traveling with me. My grey will not eat away from home & totally freaks out. Kittens are usually my flexible about things - I try to take mine around & expose them to more people & places...
