Re: Which dry food? and which cat litter?


Soupie, could you try moistening her biscuits a little to make them easier for her to eat? Just a suggestion if she has to have the higher calorie ones..

That's a good idea - thanks!
I don't know why it is good for putting weight it just seems that way in fact a lot of the persian breeders won't use it long term because of this reason and tend to use the Fit 32. My pet shop can get trial bags if you pm me your address I will send you a couple to try out. I agree with Fran try moistening the biscuits first this is how I first introduce the kittens to the biscuits when I start weaning.

I feed Sunshine Nutro and will be switching to Authority (cheaper, but also good quality), so maybe try the Nutro Senior or Authority Senior. Good luck!

My pet shop stocks Nutro (I think - I don't use it)
It markets itself as non-cruelty in production and hyper-allergenic

I have seen Nutro on zooplus but never tried it myself.

I'm not exactly sure. I know I was on another forum and it was a Australian forum, but American members were on there too, but the Australian members didn't know what Nutro is, so I'm not sure. I know http://petsmart.com and http://petfooddirect.com sells it. Maybe they'd ship to other countries?
