Re: Cat Food, want to know what you are feeding your cat?

For anyone who feeds their cat Iams, read this sad web site
StopAnimalTests.com > Companion Animal Food Companies
IAMS and animal testing

Iams have brought out a new healthy cat food
Iams® Healthy Naturals™ with Atlantic Salmon and the ingredients are
Chicken, Chicken By-Product Meal, Corn Meal, Chicken Meal, Salmon, Brewer Rice, Ground Whole Grain Barley, Corn Grits, Dried Beet Pulp, Dried Egg Product, Natural Chicken Flavor, Sodium Bisulfate, Potassium Chloride, Animal Fat (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of Vitamin E), DL-Methionine, Dried Apple Pomace, Dried Carrots, Brewers Dried Yeast, Dried Peas, Vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, Vitamin A Acetate, Niacin, Ascorbic Acid, Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Thiamine Mononitrate (source of vitamin B1), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (source of vitamin B6), Vitamin B12 Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement (source of vitamin B2), Inositol, Folic Acid), Choline Chloride, Dried Spinach, Dried Tomato, Calcium Carbonate, Minerals (Zinc Oxide, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Potassium Iodide, Cobalt Carbonate), Rosemary Extract.
all the bad ingredients are in bold.
And with Salmon.... the salmon is listed as the 5th biggest ingredient and chicken is the main one. How misleading is that???

They have sensitive stomachs so what is a better type of food to feed them.
Alot of cats have sensitive tums, I have taken 6 weeks to slowly wean Betz onto healthier diet, she would not have eaten it if i had changed it all in one go anyway, if you wean it in slowly enough they dont notice I would recommend a food without al those perservatives and fillers i have listed.

An ideal diet is raw however we dont live in an ideal world! I feed Betz nature's menu, tesco's finest isnt bad either.

Re: Cat Food, want to know what you are feeding your cat?

will have to try and change them over snowy & patsy wont be a problem i dont think. Roony will be he wont touch his food if there is anything different about it even has 1 bowl that he eats from and wont go near other 2 he is really fussy. Even wets in conservatory if i go away vets have said this is anxiety with him .

Re: Cat Food, want to know what you are feeding your cat?

Hi Everyone, i've just found this thread. I feed my cats on Raw mince beef, raw Turkey mince, raw rabbit, Natures Menu Chicken & Turkey, there is also a kitten Natures Menu. Also cooked white fish. I have 3 week old kittens at the minute and i've just started them off on tiny bits of raw beef once a day, they love it. I do feed Royal Canin & James Wellbeloved too, but am very interested in the dry food you are all talking about.
