Thread: My opinion on foods... (For what it's worth)

I spent days reading, reading and reading more and more theories on foods for cats, my conclusion is that if you have the time then you should make your own cat food (B.A.R.F.)(I dont have this luxary) There are plenty of recipes from experience breeders available on line. Failing this all the 'experts' hate dry food. There views are down to what they would be eating in the wild and really they are right, dehydrated biscuit full of rice, maize, wheat etc is not something they would encounter other than what was in the prey items tummy. Dry foods have awful meat content as do most wet foods as if you read them e.g Whiskers, it's 4% meat, 81% moisture. Online there a full and frank accounts of what is going on inside these foods and calculations as to how to work it out.
I like the idea of a bit of dry food keeping there teeth healthy (like the bones of a bird would) although tiny amounts of biscuit stuck in teeth can be a big cause of dental issues long term. I feed my two MC's:
Natures Menu ---- Wet kitten food (70% Meat) (Genuine!)
Applaws ---- Dry kitten food (80% Meat) (Genuine, although it is obviously dehydrated!)
They have a tiny sprinkle of the dry in with the wet and have a regular supply of fresh food through out the day, I suppose it's little and often, there's not noramally any left!
I also use a large ceramic dog bowl with only an inch of water in it inside a huge metal dog bowl for the drink, this minimizes the splashing when they 'clear the leaves of the water!', another thing I have done was to go to B&Q and buy a large sheet of perspex for the area to protect the floor.
Hope this is of someone use to someone. Thanks, Gra'.
