Thread: Food allergy

Hey there,

I am no expert and I haven't really had a cat with an allergy to food or anything but after reading Alekto's post thought I would add my 2p's worth

I have now had my 2 boys for 2 weeks and they are now eating raw food and dry food without any problems. The breeder had them on a mix of Royal Canin wet and biscuits, Iams wet food and felix which I personally wasn't happy with as felix hasn't got a great meat content and Royal canin is expensive. So I have slowly switched them over onto a raw meat and high meat content diet and they are thriving on it, if my scales are correct they have gained 1kg in a week!! I buy my raw meat from Natural Instincts online and it comes frozen and the boys love it, I then at lunch feed them Animonda Carny which I buy from Zooplus just to break up the raw meat diet. I then put down a small amount of Applaws biscuits as they are cereal free and have a high meat content, I personally haven't had any problems that Alekto describes and they love them and I am much happier them having these biscuits compared to Iams or Royal Canin as they have cereals in etc.

Now not everyone agrees with feeding raw meat to their cats but my 2 boys are thriving on it and their coats are gorgeous and silky. So perhaps you might wan't to pickup some raw mince from your supermarket and see if your MC takes to it. Don't feed them just the raw mince instead of your normal food though as it doesn't have all the nutrients that cats need, but it is a cheap way to see if they will even touch raw meat.
