Avocat for most of the crew, Hills Z/D to two - one with IBD, and currently we are trying both the Hills Z/D and canned IVD duck with green peas for Patrick who we are treating as if he has IBD as well as his crf. For Chris...my kitty just found to be gravely ill (awaiting test results, probably heart failure)...any dang thing he wants.

What a week

Argh.. My kittens won't eat canned Friskies anymore and after I brought them home from the shelter, they loved Friskies!
It's pricey kitten food for now.

I feed Nutro Natural choice, I am now even a demonstrator for the brand because I beleive in it so highly, also Max cat, which is made by Nutro. And they just came out with a new line.....all natural healthy cat treats with no perservatives! yay! Sometimes I will buy a can of Avoderm because they like it, it is a good quality food, and good for the skin{of course so is Nutro}.

It's so easy to spoil kittens!
I leave some inexpensive Friskies canned food that the kittens aren't eating out on the porch. While opening a can tonight, Lucy jumped on the counter and started lapping up all of the gravy, then Cindy cued in, too. But they left all of the turkey cubes! Buying them Friskies food is a waste if they'll only lap up the sauce. I stocked up on lots of chicken/rice cans of Authority kitten brand, only to find that both kitties tired of it and don't eat much of it anymore. They seem to really like Max Cat Nutro cans and Hills canned, but not Hills kitten, that is only available in chicken/liver. They really like the Max Cat kitten chicken/liver brand.

Is Royal Canin a good brand to buy and how does it compare with Max Cat and Nutro? Luckily, my Mom gave me a coupon for a free bag of Natural Choice dry (Nutro) with no preservatives. If the kittens don't like it, I can always leave some out on the porch.

My cats (two kittens and their mom) get Pet Guard, either chicken w/wheat germ or beef w/wheat germ. For a while I was giving the kittens Nutro Max Kitten as well, but now they're on the regular stuff and thriving. It's excellent food. Pricey, but I'm really intent on giving the "Gang of Three" the best food I can afford.

LOL, then again, my previous cat Choie ate cheap stuff such as Nine Lives and Friskies -- and mostly insisting on the dreaded tuna flavor at that! (Tuna & Egg was her favorite.) And yet she lived a very healthy, very long life. (She was about 19/20ish when she died.) Go figure!

My fat Katy has been swapped from Hills Science diet r/d from the vet to Royal Canin Obesity.The Hills stuff wasnt workin the old weight loss dept) She does not really like it much but where food is concerned 'any port in a storm' for Kate. as they all steal each others dinner the others are on it too with extra helpings. there is so much variety and choices - I'm not always sure if there is any difference in content only price! dont feed wet canned food anymore due to dirty bowls and flies (my lot are a eat a bit now leave a bit for later type of eaters - bar Kate.)

My guys eat purina one kitten for the kittens, and purina one hairball for the big guys. They also get authority canned kitten food, nutro max hairball control canned food, and sophista cat (petsmart brand) canned food for a treat once in awhile. I'm really happy with purina one but I might switch them to something else because there poos are so smelly!

Royal Canin Outdoors. Right now I am testing their newest blends for an upcoming review. Maine Coon 31- Siamese 38 and Persian 30. Not having any of those breeds, I am testing them on my ferals and so far am pleasantly surprised with the results. One feral who routinely has been skinny since showing up here, even after repeated vet visits to make sure he is okay, is finally getting some much needed fat in his frame just in time for the upcoming winter cold. He has been fed only Maine Coon 31.

Chicken Soup for the Cat Lovers Soul and a small amount of canned Friskies at night and for the kittens Royal Canin Kitten with Authority Kitten canned at night. I'm switching the kittens to the Kitten formula Chicken Soup when it comes out in a couple of weeks. The distributor said it will be available by Oct. 15th.

The three inside cats, 1 adult 2 kittens eat dry Nutro natual complete and dry Nurtro for kittens. The 2 outside cats get the dry Nutro natural complete in the morning and can Friskies at night.
Nurto natural complete does work when it states it controls hair loss. We have one long hair cat and since changing to the Nurto complete about 5 months ago, his hair is not coming out, there are no wild hair wods around the house
. It does work. And the outside cat Blackie had a skin/hair problem and now his fur is beautiful. A vet tech saw blackie a few weeks ago and she could not believe the difference. She said he looks like he has found a good home
. He was a feral cat in bad shape.

I use maximum nutrition kitten for both my mama and baby. I have fed special kitty (walmart) canned but not recently. The Maximum Nutrition is similar to Purina One in nutrition and ingredients but is a lot cheaper.

I have asked about feeding dry vs canned in another thread.

I just began feeding my cats Wellness. I noticed that no one who replied in this thread feeds their cats that brand.

Miss Kitty does not like it, but will eat it if I don't put out anything else. And Spike seems like he's starting to enjoy it.

Anyone else ever try this food????? Any opinions or stories?
