Cat Food Anyone?

Post by Shovelnose »

I have been looking up various options to source as feed ever since I was hit by the Hemibagrus thunderbolt, the latest of which is fish based cat feed. Does anyone have experience/thoughts on this?

I had chosen these two as most of the other options seem to have iodised salt in them.

Devious: Oh, yeah, well, you see, it's just that we're not, as yet, totally satisfied with the grounds of your claim.
Vicar: But it says something about filling my mouth in with cement.
Devious: Oh well, that's just insurance jargon, you know.

I don't know about over in India, but in Canada, the bulk food of choice would be salmon or trout feed. Cat food has taurine and all kinds of additives specifically for cats.

Thank you, I've made up my mind to stick to conventional fish food. Some of these fish are very very hard to come by and I don't want to experiment on them.

I tried it with both of my cats; one accepted it well, and the other didn't even touch it. However, we recently started having urinary problems. Does anyone know how to prevent it or maintain it under control?

Each cat is individual, as every human is, so you can't apply the same rules to all the cats. Of course, it takes a while to realize what your cat likes and doesn't like. But once you figure it out, everything becomes easier. Regarding urinary problems, I had the same issue with mine, and this article on urinary wet cat food non-prescription substitute helped me a lot. I have to be honest, not everything helped, but it's worth trying. I am sure at least one or two products will be perfect for you.
