I realise most of you know this, but it doesn't mean that one pouch is enough for all day. You have to read the feeding guide - depending on the product, 3-4 pouches is usually recommended if the cat doesn't also eat dry food.

The reason I'm posting this is because I met a woman in Sainsbury's who didn't realise she needed to feed her cat more than one pouch a day. She took "This is a complete food for cats" or similar wording to mean "You can feed your cat just this and it's enough".

And Felix have gone and put something even more misleading on their packets - "Contains everything your cat needs" or similar wording. On one pouch. So clearly not accurate.

I actually quite like Felix's "Contains everything your cat needs" instead of the "complete" as it makes it clearer as to what "complete" stands for. And that woman; I guess it takes all kinds. But feeding guidelines are printed on all boxes, containers, tins etc so this type of ignorance is imo inexcusable.

Good on you for setting her straight. Poor little cat.

"Everything your cat needs" (actually it may have been "All your cat's daily needs" or something similar) suggests you only need that for your cat. And the feeding guide is in small writing. To be fair on her, I can understand how she made the mistake. And it did seem to be a genuine mistake.

My lot do only get one pouch each of Felix per day (breakfast) but they have access to dry food usually James Wellbeloved 24/7 and at teatime they have a bit of what we are having (fish, chicken etc). They will also eat a bit of the dogs for good measure too.

Feeding Guides on pet food is a joke, one small tin of food shows the same daily amounts as on a large tin of pet food (if not now, at one time it did).

My previous cat ate two double pouches a day plus dry food. It depends on the appetite of the cat.

Just looked at one of my Applaws tins (used as occasional treat) and on one side it says that 1 tin provides the daily requirements on an average weight cat and on the other side it says it's a complementary food! No wonder people are confused!
