I've always fed my cats Meow Mix. They have, and continue to like it just fine. But recently, I saw an opinion article that spoke of Meow Mix as being crap. I just wonder if it's true. Thanks.
Meow mix is more like chicken food than cat food. Just a bunch of grains. However, almost every cat owner has fed crap to their cats due to ignorance. You are so not alone. Don't beat yourself up though. We all do the best we can! Now that you have increased knowledge you can improve your cat's life with it. That's what's important.I've always fed my cats Meow Mix.

I would try to feed some canned food every day if you can.
Completely wrong!! Cats are meant to get water from their food. Because of this singular reason I don't encourage dry. Some vets know nothing about a cat's nutritional needs. It's the old school ones. My vet is a lady in her early 40s so she's not old school and as outdated (just a little) but she does feed her own cat wet with extra water mixed in.I really appreciate all the replies. I will work on educating myself. But, about the wet food, the last 2 vets I've been to both said cats have less problems with dry food strictly. Is that wrong ?

Wow, those vets really don't know what they're talking about.I really appreciate all the replies. I will work on educating myself. But, about the wet food, the last 2 vets I've been to both said cats have less problems with dry food strictly. Is that wrong ?
Or, they will be like my cats and scratch around the bowl, like they are trying to cover up a fresh turd that I just dropped in it. That's what my cats have done with 95% of the wet food offerings I have given them.Don't be discouraged if you get the "someone dropped trash in my bowl' look.
My new cat Lisi came from a hoarders situtation, and I believe she never was fed wet food. I have been trying to wean her off the dry food now for about a month. The only way she will touch the wet food is if I put dry food on top of the wet food. Then, maybe, she will take some wet food along for the ride. But she is good at picking out those kibbles!Okay, every cat we've had before loved wet food. Current cat looks at it and walks away.
