Thread: Kitten Vs Adult MC biscuits

Interestingly, the Blue Wilderness dry that one of our boys has been eating recently revised their formula and size/shape, going to an even smaller shape. They claim the shape is much preferred by cats, but of course they are not testing on MCs specifically. I was rather horrified at how small it is now and quite worried that this would not work well for ours. Interestingly, though, not only is he still eating it but all of the other three are now eating some of it.

I note that while both of our boys crunch most of their kibble, the two girls often swallow substantial amounts without crunching it. This is apparently quite normal for cats. Certainly could not do that with the RC MC food of course.

My abyssinians... and British have the Mainecoon food... and they love it...
