please help, im in a right mess with food!!!!

my 3 kitties

kobi - nearly 6 months will eat anything put in front of him, but currently on whiskas (wanting rid of it thou)

millie - will only eat about half a tin of feline fayre a day and some of the biscuits that came with her, that are running out

lexie - used to eat whiskas no probs but is refusing it now half of the time and wants feline fayre

i was going to buy feline fayre for them all which would cost £14 a week with no room for brand rotation then the encore ontop £8 a week working out quite expensive


my main goals are

- to have encore dry, down all day for when they want a munch
- to feed wet 2 times preferably, or 3 i dont mind
- i dont want to feed raw
- have all 3 on the same food

my problem is i still dont know which wet food to pick, possibly bozita smila animonda,although im worried millie wont take to it, and i have a cupbard full of different stuff and changing them all over is confusing me as everyones eating at strange times, i used to be in a routine but snce millie moved in everything went to pot and im feeding all over the place.

could someone help step by step what to feed who considering whats in my cupboard and what i need to buy pllleeeeaaassseee im so stick and in a mess

here is exactly whats in the cuboard

72 pouches whiskas kitten
8 pouches nautures menu
18 tins feline fayre
6 cartons bozita in jelly
1 and half boxs whiskas kitten dry
handful of orijen
3/4 handfuls of the biscuits that came with millie
pouch of hilife

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!


edit - lexie is pretty much refusing whiskas now alltogether,

would getting them all onto feline fayre for now work as 2 of them are eating it? meaning id have to do 2 changes??

double edit - kobi will eat his pouch and half of lexies and dry and still come back for more so im worried with him as his stomach podges so much when he's gorged

That is a big, if not impossible, ask Kinley - I don't think anyone can give you a step-by-step guide as to what to do with your cats. Cats are contrary creatures and don't always play ball (as you are discovering yourself!). You are getting to know them, so trust your instincts.

However, personally I curse the day that food such as treat food (and I personally include FF in this) was invented. Completely unnecessary and to some extent worse than dry food!

So, if I were you I would stop feeding them the FF. Don't chuck the tins you have out but use them to mix it with food that you want them to eat. Choose one brand first and once they are happily eating that, then include another brand of a similar ilk.

Whether all three will eat the same food - well, that is written in the stars. Might be wishful thinking though

Well, I know they SAY that it is complete but I have yet to see some more detailed analyses to confirm this - I have contacted them a few times but had no joy. Also, it really doesn't contain enough fat.

Plus it's more expensive. Save your money if you can
