Hi there

I took my two to the Vets last week for clipping and ended up asking about diet advice (they've both got what i call bingo belly's). I've been told what i was feeding them (felix and a mixture of go-cat/hills) wasn't good for them and as they both need to lose 0.5kgs to go onto Royal Canin (my purse is already feeling the strain). The nurse pushed for a dry diet (didn't give the reasons) but my two like their wet food too much to give it up.

I get the feeling that they get kick-backs on what they sell (the smallest size dry is £16 & the pouches are about 50p each) so they push their own brands which is no doubt what they were about to suggest to you when you uttered the magic words "diet advice". I'm going to put up with it for the moment to get the weight down as i understand obesity is a problem in older cats (they are 7 next month) but i'm trying to find other sources for the same product.

I admire your willingness to stick to your guns but you may want to check out the fat content on the Whiska's if you are thinking about your own cat's bingo belly.

Sorry for the screed.
