Wet or Dry???

Really interesting discussion though!

There are indeed companies in the UK who specialise in raw meat products. You can also get the bones pre ground ie whole chicken carcass minced, which is what my cats mainly have. They also have the odd chicken wing

Here is the company that I use

Just one other thought -

my sister who is NOT an animal lover and has had a cat for ten years or so and doesnt let it in the house much has only ever fed her the cheapest supermarket biscuit food as she can. Think she spends less than 40p a week feeding the poor thing.

This poor cat has never been ill in its life.

Donna although your sister feeds her cat on cheap supermarket food as you say the cat is outside, do you think it has been having it's feed on wildlife as well????

I am sure a lot of cats cope very well on a dry/mixed food. My parents cats lived until they were both 16 on a mixed/dry/wet food. They were fit as fiddles

[Donna]

Yes I suppose she has the whole day and night to scavange food and catch the odd bird or mouse. Good point Emma.

Feel sorry for this poor cat and whenever I go round there I sneak a pouch of wet food for her!!

[EmmaG]

awww Donna I bet she loves you!!!

[Donna]

Nah!! You know what cats are like = she grabs the food and then forgets about me and sods off out again!!!

I find that quite attractive.
