    In any case it is better to use the wet seeds for food. Since the quality of grain is grain that is well moistened. For the germination of seeds also has its own scheme.

    Denny, Say what? I have no idea what this means "wet seeds", please explain? Thanks Donnad

    PS My Beagle is getting tweaky (seizures) so I started making him some holistic home made dog food, brown rice, vegetables and poultry. Needles to say I am the best doggy momma ever! in their eyes hahaha I have two beagles

    i didnt realise we had a choice of foods. my cats wont touch tinned food at all, dont like wet food pouches in jelly and love wet food in gravy (and the newer things like marinated, chunks etc etc etc) although they change their minds on which brand the will eat. one week they like gourmet, the next week they like tiger. the result being a large selection of wet food pouches of various brands plus dry food for Gizmo who does eat a lot
    the point is that they will eat what they want to eat and they will not eat what they dont want to eat. this will change every few days although i am not sure if this is for variety or to make sure you know who is really the head of your household

    yup - agreed - mine is on Gourmet Perle at the moment - once she's gone through that phase I am not sure what else to give her, she's gone through them all!!!

    I have had all kinds of cats including my current 2 cooners and one 1/2 Bengal. I have owned these wonderful creatures for over 35 years and I have yet to have ANY problems with dry foods. I used to use Purina cat chow for all their meals, yet I changed last year when I got my 2 cooners.. Now I use Blue Wilderness Chicken and Duck.. They are all healthy and beautiful.. To me it is all a matter of choice.. BTW all my cats have lived well into their last teens and even a couple in the mid 20s. Its a choice.. Make one and be happy with it!

    My cats like both. We usually do dry food all day long and then as a meal will do wet food.

    I've spent a lot of time reading up on this.

    The best diet - raw food. Beaks, feathers, gristle, the lot.
    Second best food - wet food with no grain and the proper mix of animal proteins e.g Lily's Kitchen
    Third best food - dry food with no grain at all
    Fourth best - all the other foods - IAMS, Hills, Royal Canin, Felix, Whiskas etc

    What I actually feed my MC: Orijen dry food with 1/3 portion of Almo Nature tuna and whitebait in jelly a day. Any more wet food and he gets diarrhoea (and I have tried, I think, every wet food on the market). He won't eat raw food or Lily's kitchen and anything with grain in means a trip back to the vet for more steroids for his poor colon. I have discussed this with three different vets and we all feel that Sidney is healthier on this mix than any other that has been tried over the last 18 months, so I suggest you try things and see what works.

    Our last cat died at 16 having eaten nothing but IAMS all his life. Up till the last 6 months he was in fantastic shape, but if I knew then what I know now I would never have gone anywhere near kibble with grain in - at the time I saw the adverts and thought I was doing the best for him. Basically, cats need to eat other animals, not wheat.

    whiskas is the worst food which you can give to your cat. There is no meat inside, grain only. RC, Felix, Hills based on chicken meat with the extras like grain, spinach etc. It's mean, this kind of food is better than whiskas. Dry food without grain can be no tolerated by cat's in many cases and it's a big shame. I face with this problem all the time, because after no grain food my cats have a diarrhea always:( i decided on RC dry food have no problem in this time.

    it seems I have finally managed to find a wet food my cooners can keep down. I started giving them a teaspoon full of Applaws chicken breast mixed in with purina sensitive a few weeks ago and they've now built up to 2 cans a day (the cans are tuna sized, not whiskas sized, and between 3 cats) and no sickness, yay! Hoping to see some results soon, Morris has definitely gained weight and I hope Mia will soon too.

    here they are all scoffing..

    Goldie have you tried to give a Animonda Carny as a wet food? It's in good price and high quality ingredients. My cat who had a stomach problem all the time, tolerates this kind of wet food.
