I probably spend most of my income on my cats, trying to give them the best quality ingredients and trying to avoid a gazillion things that they are not supposed to have. Even on expensive food, I have always managed to have at least one sickly cat. I currently have an IBD kitty. Some people, like my brother for example, can give their cats any crap and have perfectly healthy cats. His cat can literally eat a whole bag of Temptations treats in a day (horrible ingredients) and suffer no ill effects. He also feeds her Cat Chow, I think. I'm curious--does anyone feed their cat the cheap stuff, like Meow Mix, Nine Lives, etc., and have no problems?
