Thread: how much to feed this beast?

In one of my first posts on this site it concerned feeding & in it I said that in the nearly 40 years of working at a vets we never had any overweight cats until dry food hit the shelves,as boss always points out a cats natural diet is little furries,little furries contain a lot of moisture,wet food contains....! Also they don't have food on tap out in the wild,when they are hungry they hunt it.We have a lot of overweight moggies come through work & the biggest percentage are fed dry,get them onto wet & it is not very long before you have a moggy with a figure again,also since dry foods urinary problems have increased too but luckily not so much in MC's because I think we give the better makes plus that seems to be one of the areas where they are very dog like,drink a lot,where as a normal moggie doesn't tend to,another thing we now see is diabetic cats,that also was a no no until fairly recently but once again obesity has thrown another problem into the pot,shouldn't complain really because it keeps us busy but not really fair on the animal.Feeding is always going to be a very motivated subject but I am sure on here we all do what is best for our cats whichever regime we use.....x
