I have heard that RC isn't that great but it appears commonly used. What brand/s of dry biscuits do you feed your MCs? I"ve used hills science diet on another cat before but it made his coat less glossy.

I used Science Diet for years and Eukanuba and Hills, James well beloved and some hypo-allergenic ones..

The reason I stopped using the Science diet was I LOST 4 stud boys 2 died, 2 had to be neutered to crystals in their bladder... causing infection which did not respond to Antibiotics. a Dutch friend also had the same problem with 2 of her boys..

We have a Ragdoll staying here for 6 months quarantine, before he comes to the UK... and he came with a bag of Science Diet, kitten.... his new owner always has fed Royal Canin so we introduced it to him.. a bit at a time... HE prefers the Royal canin and indeed if he can get in the down stairs basement... with the stud boys which he regularly does as he follows me everywhere he pinches theirs...


Our cats, Abyssinians, British Shorthairs, Somalis, Mainecoons...are all fed the same mixture of Mainecoon Buiscuits Mixed with Sensible and Fit... and a little Kitten.... as we have some that are still young adults... Even the tiny kittens (abys) will pinch the Mainecoon biscuits...

I have never had a problem with loose bowels, never touch wood had problems with crystals... etc etc.. Since the change. and they all have beautiful shiny coats and are healthy..

I would never presume to tell anyone how and what to feed... (except of course our new owners).... and that is a guide line of what their healthy kitten has been fed..

However I do not also believe that they may not get everything they need from the food... so I do add multivitamins to their water... the fizzy kind, orange flavoured they love it... and we do add probiotics to their daily cooked Chicken/fish treat.


MY own opinion... and not stated to cause disagreement with anyone else... after 32 years of trial and error... I seem to have found a mix that keep my cats all healthy... fit and looking good... Believe me when I say this I wish I could find a combination that is cheaper on my pocket and as good for the cats...

German Prices for Royal canin... is for 10 kilo bags

58 euros for Mainecoon-- 56 euros for sensible- 55 euros for fit- 58 euros for Kitten and 3 times a year they get a bag of oral... and that is 58 euros for a 8 kg bag!!

So you know where I am coming from LOL...
