Re: Widely Available but 'Up-Market' cat foods


Thanks for the tip ellenlouise, I will have a look for that! They seem to love their Go-Cat, but I don't mind changing their dry food. I do want to feed them wet food too though, to avoid any potential urinary tract infections, and because they're just big boys I think they do need lots of food and don't want them just on dry!

Re: Widely Available but 'Up-Market' cat foods


They really are aren't they?! I didn't think they'd weigh THAT much. The CP took them to the vet before we took them on and the vet recommended they could lose a little, but to be honest, they're in proportion and they're not lazy or sluggish - they still run around and seem very active. They are just really big male cats! I won't overfeed them but I dont think they need to go on a diet. They're not greedy and will finish half way through a meal if they're full. Also they have very shiney, glossy soft coats which I take to mean very healthy!

I'm taking new photos all the time so I'll be sure to get some more up I'll try and get one of me holding Darcy to put it into perspective (after 5 minutes of holding him my arm generally tends to go numb hehehe!)

Re: Widely Available but 'Up-Market' cat foods


Just as an update, on angieh's suggestion, I tried mixing half a Felix as good as it looks chicken with half a felix normal chicken, as the felix normal is £1 cheaper than as good as it looks (for box of 12).

They didn't buy it. One sniff and they walked away. I guess that proves their intelligence! So it's back to as good as it looks all the way.
