Cat Food

[Guest guest]

I agree the jury's still out on whether wet or

dry is 'better' for your cat. Strangely, ours

won't eat wet food, beyond a few licks from the

can when it's first opened. Loves his 'cookies'

though!

 

About milk: same goes for cats as goes for hoomin

critters - milk is good for babies, as long as

it's mama's milk. (Okay, so everyone might not

agree there, but a kitten is not a calf LOL) Some

vets have mentioned kidney stones from milk being

fed to adult cats. Dunno if that's true, since

ours has neither milk nor stones ;=)

 

About kibble brands: I shied away from Iams for

mine because of their testing on animals in

abhorrent conditions. Royal Canin is reputedly

grrrreat and also Wellness - Wellness being what

I was feeding Misha until the last vet decided

Hills Prescription Feline T/D would be better for

his teeth - it's a larger kibble and he has to

bite it, ya know? However, it remains to be seen

if it really IS better for his teeth - I

personally doubt it, but it has made his coat

shine wondrously ;=)

 

Misha eats plants. Many cats don't, mine does. I

have one plant right now, hanging up in the

solarium - he resents its inaccessibility (ask

him!). All plants here need to be the hanging

type. I also have to be careful about cut flowers

- had a bouquet brought to me a few weeks ago (I

normally avoid cut flowers) and Misha wanted the

lilies - not good for little mousers.
