Does anyone feed whiskas dry food?
I am feeding my two kitties Nutro Natural Choice Complete Care Indoor Kitten (wow, long name lol). But before I got Raven I had a stray litterally dropped off at our door and I kept her until we found her owners and I had bought a cheap bag of food (whiskas). Then when my husband brought home Raven I started her on that (it was kitten) and fed that while I researched and then decided on the Nutro. I mixed the two (much more nutro than whiskas). Raven really loves the whiskas meaty bites. And Jack likes the little pieces (they are much smaller than the nutro). I was trying to read the ingrediants of Whiskas and the website is not helpful at all (http://www.whiskas.ca/new/food_tools.aspx)
and I was wondering if it would be okay if I kept buying Whiskas kitten (and then adult) to mix with my nutro choice to make my $ $tretch farther.

Whiskas is a corn (vs meat) based food that contains all of the chemical preservates we are told to avoid: BHA & BHT (known carcinogens) AND ethoxyquin, which doubles as a pesticide.

Purina naturals is a better food IMHO to stretch or maybe wal marts maxium... I know some are able to get chicken soup at a really low price or diamond Naturals
