all, thanks so much. this info is really helpful.

these posts have been great and i think i will try starting them on some high quality cat food to begin with as suggested, as they need something soonish when they come off this i/d bland stuff and i dont think i will have my head round the raw diet by then! they were on asda pouches and go cat kitten food when i got them ( not the best i know) and apparently the vet thought the go cat was what was upsetting their tummies so im definitely going to be stocking up on some better quality wet food and perhaps try and lay off the dry a bit.

and then i will try introducing raw over time and see what they think...im sure i will be back on to let you know how its going and to get some more advice!

thanks everyone, have a good evening
