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.
Do they do this in biscuits as mine wont eat meat at all

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

Aj having looked into Orijens more i am going definetely use it however it does contain spinach which isnt ideal but only in a tiny amount. Rice is actually easily digested and contains valuable protein.

No but orijen and organipets are good dry foods. If you wean your cat onto it slowly they shouldnt notice to be honest. I feed Betz wet food and abit of dry.

Rice does not contain valuable protein. The only thing that makes it anything resembling valuable is the fact that so many foods lack an appropriate meat content to provide sufficient protein. Rice is a cheap substitute for proteins that should be provided by meat content.

Cats are obligate carnivores: "animals that by its genetic makeup must eat the tissue of other animals in order to thrive. Obligate carnivores may eat other foods, such as vegetables, grains, or fruit, but they must eat meat as the main source of their nutrients."

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

I heard a little rice is good if they are having any poo problems. Brown rice is better than white for protein. The spinach bothers me, so I wouldn't think I would feed all of the time, but it is otherwise. I would certainly use it sometimes. It's just that too much spinach can cause kidney stones.

Meat is the main ingredient to Betz' diet, i dont feed her much dry food because im not keen on it.

They wouldn't eat rice naturally, nor would they eat cranberries or vegetables, but these things can be actually very good for them. Japanese cats eat rice every day with a lttle seaweed on it and they do just fine. Rice is much more digestible than any other vegetable to cats.

Where have you heard that? Spinach is a source of Vitamin E.
