Iams, Science Plan & Whiskers are all crap! A general rule of thumb is if you can buy it in a supermarket, don't buy it!

lol, Thanks for the advice Clare Can you buy royal canin and orijen from any vets or pet shops etc or is it internet ordering only, Im just wondering how to get it without having deliveries as im sometimes out all day with work. Although i guess i could have it delivered to my mums or cousins house.

Some pet shops have good foods like Royal Canin but Eagle Pack and Orijen are only available online as far as I know! My personal opinion is that Orijen is the best commercial cat food you can buy!

unfortunately I have about 12 pouches of whiskas and 12 of iams to get through, although I suppose they have very good dates. Gonna try her on dry tomorrow. You know what...........she fell asleep again after about an hour n a half.

What should I do during the night. Do cats sleep most of the night or what. Or will she be expecting to play at 2am!!

here is a pic of her at 4 weeks old, ill post some recent pics tomorrow

Thanks I dont mind cost, and i dont mind travel as long as i know its good food... Im a bit on the newbie side still and so hes still on whiskas as thats what he was fed on when i got him. He has 1/2 a pouch and then the meal is made up with dry food. Id rather give him something thats good for him as i certainly wouldnt shovel macdonalds into my/my daughters mouth 2-3times a day. Ill have a word with the parents to see if they mind me having it delivered to their house, if they do ill get it delivered to my cousins farm.... I may even be able to get it a bit cheaper if they have it where she gets her orders from
