What about buying stuff online? We get a lot of cat foods etc. online and it does mean that I don't have to leave the house lol

Will do in future but need this stuff now - not happy with local selection - I know they're not purebred or anything but this lot are all very special to me...

Could you help with something else - I am sorry for all the questions but I'm not sure about the vets here as they don't take cats very seriously - most are just farm pest control...

Both cats are usually indoors and I don't worm often - I treated them both with frontline (for fleas) a month ago and have now got some wormer from vets to do both adults - just incase.
They have given me 'advocate' tube thingys (I know you may not recognise brand name as it could be different to UK) it goes on the back of their neck and does fleas too - they say kitts will get through mum's milk and not to treat them until they are weaned.
They have given me a liquid called 'Parazole' to do kittens when weaning.

Any thoughts - aaagghh???

Just realised it's Friday so am going tomoz when I can leave them with hubby so don't have to buy toys they don't need - although I'll prob buy things for cats that they don't need

Worked this one out by the way...

Went to the local pet shop and he has a dry mix which is 22% meat proteins but isn't complete (Royal Canin is 24%) but harder to get and expensive so I get a bag of the pet shop stuff and mix with the very cheap embarassed to name it complete dry food which they love and is much better from the sounds of the ingredients than the big brand names!
On top of this I am just giving them fresh mince, chicken, fish etc which they seem to love. Zelda looks better already, still thin but no longer gaunt.

ROFL I did have to smile at what you'd written about the "very cheap embarassed to name it complete dry food" The problem with cat food is too much choice and everyone tells you something different lol

It's great to read that Zelda is starting to look better, you must be very relieved

If it is 'Go Cat' that gives all of mine the squits in the blink of an eye! I ran out of dry food once and had to nip to the corner shop and ended up with that, ooooops wont do that again

The thing is with me is I want to give them the best but money is always an issue and when I compared all ingredients - This way just as good for me, convenient and cost effect.
Also if they like it and are well and healthy which certainly seems the case - then it's a success

I am really relieved - I know she will be thin for a while but she was sunken now she is getting a bit of belly back - poor love the kittens are still putting on nearly 20g a day!!

Emily

Same thing happened to us a few years ago. Ran out of the JW and had placed an order that still hadn't arrived. All we could get from the corner shop with Go Cat and within 24 hours every cat in the house had the runs

Almost 20g a day are marvellous gains so they're obviously getting plenty of nourishment from Zelda
