Hi folks,
First time on the nutrition forum, was wondering which do you think is best, food in jelly or gravy? Are there any benefits in using one or the other? I adopted a stray ginger female on the 1st March whom we called Ginny. She'd been found a week before by someone who's own cat didn't like her being in the house, Ginny had been checked by the vet who said she was about 8 months old, not chipped or neutered. After having Ginny 3weeks we found out she was pregnant, so we started feeding her kitten food to help both Ginny and the kittens. We usually buy Felix As Good As It Gets kitten food, in sachets which has Chicken in Jelly, Beef in Jelly, Tuna in Jelly & Salmon in Jelly, which Ginny has been enjoying. She usually has 2 sachets a day, plus a bowlful of Iams Kitten dry food which she has access to all day, but have upped it to 3 to 4 since she had the kittens. (Forgot to say I'm in the UK) Ginny had 6 kittens and they will be 4 weeks old on Saturday. This morning I gave Ginny her breakfast the salmon in jelly and she only had a couple of mouthfuls and walked away from it. I popped to the local corner shop and looked at the different ranges of cat food and brought a tin of Whiskas Lamb in Jelly adult food which I gave a bowlful to Ginny when I got back. Well she wolfed it down and then gave her some more and she ate half of it.
Now I haven't tried her with any of the gravy varieties yet, but I was wondering whether any of you think the gravy is better than the jelly? I shall be putting down some wet food for the kittens in the next week or so, and would like your opinions on which one to try first.
