I would like some advice from all of you amazing cat people out there. I currently use Purina Indoor Cat dry food for all my cats. They seem to be doing well on it..Fatman is actually losing weight his fat sack is getting emptier and emptier which makes me happy. HOWEVER what Im concerned about is if its properly nutrional for my cats. I have always heard that Purina is a good food to use for animals and even use it for my doxie. I guess what Im asking is for everyones recomendations on what dry food they use, especially those on a tight budget. I would also like to know if anyone thinks that Purina One for Indoor Cats is a good food because thats what I was going to switch over to. I dont use wet food because none of them seem to like it it always takes forever for them to eat one pouch of food and then I end up throwing the rest out after breakfast because they dont want to finish it and if I try again with different food its the same process all over again.
Ive heard about Raw Diet but Im a little confused as to what it is and how time and finacially consuming raw diet is. My question along this line is if grilled chicken breast is ok for cats. On days I make chicken for dinner I will grill them their own chicken and then mix carrots and peas into a mixture for them and they all including the doxie LOVE LOVE LOVE this mixture. A friend of mine recomended this to me because they use it for their Pug for weight management and my dog is prone to gaining weight if over snacked and then back problems and well chicken and cats seems to be a great combination to me so I gave some to them and they all love it. But after reading all these food posts Im starting to second guess myself on what Im feeding them. I want to be a good mom to all my babies and dont want to end up hurting them by feeding them the wrong foods.
I have never fed them generic cat food like Special Kitty (from Wal Mart) because I always thought it was bad for them. And I will go without for myself to buy them "namebrand" food..I cant remember the last time I have ever bought myself anything other than Weis brand or Giant brand food so I have the extra pennies to buy the better food for my pets. Im sorry this is so long but Id love your advice...
Thank you everyone!![/u]
