There are some folks that would say "NOOOO" but then, some folks like raw rice! :^) I have been feeding Ziwipeak Rabbit/Lamb and Venison for a few years; I have 'discovered' a newer New Zealand food named Kiwi Kitchen. Its HALF the price of Ziwipeak, but it seems to do just fine with my F5...
Artie is an F5 Bengal, (looks like a broken mackerel tabby, and has been very gentle) who has been mellow, well fed and treated well for 8-9 years in our home. He has lately started biting and pulling up strands of our (6 month old) berber carpet. We have bought him DaBird, DaMouse etc toys, and...
They are TERRIBLE about posting their kcals. I even called the Canada/USA phone, and it was a voicemail. It does show the kcals/Kg at 620 on the flavor I'm ordering, and I found a calculator that shows that at 620 kcals per Kg, that comes out to 17.576704 kcals per ounce! So a 3 oz can = 52.7...
I looked at Lisa P's chart today, and saw that ZP is pretty high fat, and FN has lower kcals than a lot of foods. I know you are a raw food proponent, but if you couldn't get raw, which canned food might you use until you could get raw? ALSO, are there raw (frozen ?) that are complete all-stage...
Well, as a matter of fact, I use both! I have been trying to tame the costs, but so far I'm still there. I have figured out calorically, that a 6 oz can of Ziwipeak, rabbit and lamb (176 kcals), and a 1/2 of a 6 oz can of Feline Natural Chicken and Lamb (52.5 kcals) daily will get me at +/- 230...
Feline Natural has a nasty habit-they do not post the kcals on their cans. So. Heres how to figure it out!!

on the bottom of each chart, it states that you can link for your own use, but do not link to public domains. On her site she has a link to "Cat Food Composition" and another link to what she calls "Protein/Fat/Carbohydrate/Phosphorus Chart". They are basically the same.
I like to think that I try to keep Artie eating well-balanced and healthy food. The more I read on this and other forums is about as different as day/night! I have read in the last couple of days about a few brands I have never tried, or even heard of. For example, Dr. Elseys. I have heard of...
Artie used to hate 'stew' type foods like Tiki Cat, and Purina bought Merrick over a year ago, so I don't like the idea of them being near my cats food. Any pate/meat types come to mind? I'm trying to get info on lotus. Never heard of it until today, so I'm looking for advice from someone who...
HEY! Hi. How have you been?
I'm still on ziwipeak rabbit and lamb, but looking for something cheaper and as high in quality. Anything new on the market?
I was looking for you on the 'catforum' site, and there is a marie73 on there, but never got a reply. So I was in my bookmarks, and bongo...
Hi. I've been feeding Artie ziwipeak rabbit/lamb for a couple of years, and he is getting too fat, although a lot of folks say 20kcals per lb, Artie has been at 15 lbs, so that would take him to 300 kcals X day. Too much. He's getting porky at 257 kcals X day. AND I'm going broke. What do you...
