I've just got back from wandering around PAH looking at all the cat, kitten and rabbit food. While I was unable to get Natures Menu kitten food I fed them Hi-Life kitten food and have realised I have been paying more getting it from the supermarket than if I had got it from PAH. It is also quite a bit cheaper than NM kitten food (which was in today).

It seems OK - 60% meat or fish - but then I'd been feeding my cats Whiskas and Felix for 18 or so years with no idea I was doing anything wrong until I joined this website.

Does anyone else use the Hi-Life kitten and cat food?

My cats are 14,13,13,1,1, and five 9 week old kittens and they all seem to like the Hi-Life food. I want them to have a good diet but I don't have unlimited finances. Natures Menu was £5.65 I think and HL was £3.99 so it makes quite a big difference when you have as many moggies as I do

I also got some frozen tripe in PAH. It says it's for dogs but the assistant said it would be OK for cats too. It is currently thawing out - I hope they like it. I was going to get the chicken one but it said in the small print that it could have bones in it which worried me a bit.

PAH had Applaws on offer as well (for those of you who use it) so I bought a box of that as my cats have that too occasionally. They really like that

Don't know about hi life but Tesco's Luxury is on offer at 2*12 pouch boxes for £7.00

That is 50%+ whole meat with tapioca

Thanks for that - they like that as well so I can see where I will be going tomorrow like the faithful slave that I am

I get the minced Turkey from Asda, I cook that for mine, it's filling and they love it, some of the frozen food shops have some really good deals, I suppose I'm lucky living where I do, we have a Meatmart that regularly has specials, and a Cool Trader where I get frozen chicken breasts very cheap, they also do Coley the 4 blocks for £1.59, so I'm able to feed mine quite a bit of real meat and fish, otherwise I stock up at the supermarkets when they have specials on.

Do you serve the turkey as a complete meal?

I dont understand why cat food contains ash. is it a required part of their diet?

i know charcoal is used to aid digestion , helps stop the squits so to speak maybe this is why ash is used

yuk tripe it stinks my x boyfriend used to give the cats &dogs raw tripe it stinks and looks so gross good luck to you if you can stomach it

Used to live in Lancashire in 70's and butchers sold tripe for humans. Considered a delicacy in that part of the world.

yeah , eek: double yuk why would anyone want to eat that shite !!!!!!!
