Thread: USA MC Owners - what do you feed?

Oh, thanks!!

Enzo is a 1 and a half year old male Maine Coon... who weighs about 14lbs. What would you think he should be eating per day? Wet food only...

It was the same with us Karen, we invested in lots of different brands of high meat foods, including Nature's Choice and Applaws, and our two just turned their noses up ... and if they did eat it the foul stench of their by products made us turn our noses up! Now they have either Whiskas or Felix and occasionally Iams wet food with RC Kitten 36 available for them to nibble at. The only thing I have done which I've never done with any kitty before is to regularly give them kitten milk - and boy do they love it!

Doesn't it make you sick when you have to scrap the expensive stuff with all that meat??? I hadn't considered the by product angle but you make a VERY good point... I think I was just so grateful it was no longer running away from me I'd not paid much attention to the fact my eyes were no longer watering.

Ditto on the cat milk front, both my gals love it, but if you want to see them go crazy get them some Viyo vitamin drinks... They're 30ml sachets, about 7 in a box for £3.59 from Petplanet, and both cats go mental for them. They're handy as you can also dilute them in water to increase their liquid intake, too, although they go down very well concentrated! I tend to dilute a sachet between them in the morning with breakfast, and kitten milk in the evening.
