Ok, I probably sound like one of those people who spoil thier pets to the point of every dollar I make goes towards my cats, but I have a question.
My cats get fed a small bowl (equals to about two small handfuls per bowl) of Whiskas dry food every day. This seems to fill them up. They also get one to two Pounce treats per day. (unless my grandmother gets a hold of them and then its around five treats per day) From time to time, maybe two to three times a month, they get wet food. This is normally if I've run out of dry food and didn't have time to go to the store. Also from time to time, they get the specially made catmilk as a treat. (Tyran LOVES it) Weight wise, Miki weighs somewhere around 6-7 pounds, possibly more. She hasn't had a recent weigh-in. Tyran is somewhere around 4-5, but also, she has not had a current weight check. Miki is a bit round but Tyran is lean. Both are under a year old. (Miki will turn 1 year later this month)
My question (or rather questions) are:
1) Is this a healthy diet? With all the treats, I'm not sure.
2) If not, what changes can I make?
3) I've heard of a raw meat diet. Is this good for cats, and is it expensive?
