Hello everyone! It’s been a while.
So, to jump right in—a few months back, I finally got a job so now I’m paying for all of my cats’ stuff instead of my parents paying for it (I’m almost 20, but due to college and whatnot only got a real job now). So now that I’m making my own money... I figure I really can afford to feed my cats better than I am now.
They’re currently on a diet of one 5.5 can each of Friskies in the evenings, and some dry food (can’t quite remember how much? I’ve got an automatic feeder for that and it measures the food weirdly so I’d have to convert that) in the mornings. Currently the dry food is literally whatever seems nutritionally good (mostly according to catfooddb.com) and is on sale at the time. Currently I’m feeding Fussie Cat, but that seems to make Salt a bit gassy soooo I’m going to need to change that. Their sort of “default” food, if I can’t find anything good on sale, is Merrick Purrfect Bistro Turkey. Any suggestions for a healthier dry food would be awesome. I don’t want to pay a ton more than I am already, but I’m fine with a slight price increase. For the record, they didn’t love Tiki Cat when I tried that once, so that’s off.
Anyway—I’m currently looking for any recommendations as to fairly healthy wet and dry foods. Since I’m going through two 5.5 oz cans of wet a day, I’d rather not those be too far off from like a dollar per can. I’m currently looking at Authority and it seems to be pretty good? My cats won’t eat pate varieties though, so please keep that in mind too (and honestly I wouldn’t be so against continuing to feed them Friskies if it wasn’t for the fact that the pate is the healthiest variety in that).
And any dry food recommendations would be awesome because I’m kind of lost on that score.
Thanks in advance for your help!
