My 6 month old gets a mix of Felix tins (adult) those silly pouches weren't filling him up at all, raw mice, chicken and tins of tuna and salmon. He won't eat dry food, so have recently managed to get him munching on some chicken drumsticks

Smile Re: what do u feed?

Normally my kitty eats a mixture of Royal Canin Kitten 36 dry food, and Applaws Kitten Chicken, Nature's Almo Kitten Chicken and Cheese, Hi-Life Salmon, Feline Fayre Simply Pilchards, Schesir Kitten Chicken, Schesir Kitten Tuna, Porta 21 Kitten Chicken and Rice, and Nature's Menu Kitten Chicken.

The last couple of weeks, however, due to a bacterial infection, I've been feeding her more bland stuff: still her Royal Canin, Applaws, and Nature's Menu, but with chicken boiled in honeyed water, raw lean mince beef, and cod steaks.

Mine are fed mostly raw, chicken, beef (ox cheek, heart & tongue), lamb (breast & heart), wild rabbit (their favorite), day old chicks, ostrich (another favorite), mice, quail and calves heart.

My kittens get the same as they start to wean as well as Royal Canin kitten biscuits and any wet food with a minimum of 60% meat. This ensures that the kittens will eat anything in their new homes.

Re: what do u feed?

My cat has recently started eating bones (took 4 months of trying!) so now he eats pretty much any meat and organ meat I give him except lamb. Raw, of course. His favourite is rabbit, he goes crazy for it! He also loves hearts and liver.

Before he started eating bones I would just give him raw meat chunks, mixed with liver, water and this powder: The Feline Future Cat Food Company

And before that again (and I keep it in the house still as backup) he got Orijen dry food and Applaws wet food.

He's so much more enthusiastic about his food now than when he was on commercial cat food, it's great to see!

Re: what do u feed?

Ours are near enough 4 months now and they get applaws/natures menu/hi-life pouches in the morning when we're too rushed to prepare meat. After work they get raw/boiled chicken breast/thighs/turkey or boiled cod/tinned tuna or lean steak mince. They have royal canin kitten down but we're still working through the free stuff we got from the breeder and then we'll give orijen a go.
They adore applaws, tuna gives Hugo gas.
I love to wave a small piece of chicken under their noses when they're still sleepy and wait for the reaction!

I am sure I will get shot at for this - but I feed my cats Felix wet pouches and Go Cat dry food!! Yes I do!!! And I fed it to my long haired burmese who is at the rainbow bridge (she was 19).

They also have fresh frogs and insects.

I feed a mix of Merricks wet canned food and Nature's Variety raw chicken and beef. Their coats have been so soft since I took them off of dry food.
