Hey, everybody!
Crumb and Harvey have free feed access to their dry food. Despite my attempts to give Harvey separate kitten food, they really both eat the same thing... Authority Sensitive Solutions. When Crumb was a kitten, he had constipation so badly one night from Beneful cat food that he actually bled a bit from his backside. I quickly wanted to switch him over to something better, and the employee at Petsmart recommended this brand. (I later discovered it was the company generic... d'oh!) I knew little or nothing about "grain free" diets, but since becoming a rather ravenously obsessive catmom, obviously I see it come up time and time again. However, as a young actor living in NYC with her artist boyfriend, we don't have a lot of extra money. An 8 lbs. bag is about $12.99; I could go up a bit from that, but not lots! It really does have to be a financially viable option. Does anyone have any suggestions? The cats both love their food and don't seem to have any health effects, but Crumb does have a little pouch of fat on his tummy I fear is from the grains. I look at all the grain-free options, though, and my eyes start to glaze over...
