Sorry to reply so late - like claire says - I have tiny kittens and I figured the biscuits were too big - about same size as their mouth so I soak and mush them. I also think it helps get their senses twitching - however it goes manky quickly so I wouldn't suggest it for older cats. The girls eat them as they are and I have never seen them clear away dry food like they do this

I'm going to have a few cat biccies with my coffee - just too tempting

Re: Ok well here's the meat content in Whiskas..

Just tried Orijen for cats for experimental purposes...

At first it tastes a bit like an asprin or something and then the dominant taste is liquorice - they are not pleasant and the texture is bad!!

At the end of the day its simply that I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, love all animals and like talking about them. I really don't want to go on internet forums and be falling out with people.

Re: Ok well here's the meat content in Whiskas..

I find the whole "who are you replying to" confusing on this forum as you just attach your reply to the thread above.

So, unless you quote, readers are not sure. Think that adds to the confusion.

Re: Ok well here's the meat content in Whiskas..

Selk67U2 I was probably tired and things that normally I would just ignore, i didn't. Sorry for jumping to conclusions where you were concerned.

The feeding thing, well I am going to do what I have always done (my two dogs lived to 15 and 16, and two cats to 18 and 20) which is a variety of the different brands. The wet foods I give are Natures Menu, Almo Nature, Applaws, Tesco Luxury, Sheba, Whiskas, some Whiskas good as it looks fish, occasionally Kitekat/Felix/Tesco or Sainsurys own...I chop and change them, all depends how bored they get

Same with dried.. JWB, Tesco nature, Royal Canin, Science plan, Whiskas. usually give wet with some dry sprinkled on top, unless its the small Almo/Applaws when they get it just as it is. My new rescue cat who is 9 months loves his kitten milk, have found one made with goats milk and it agrees with him. The little love waits for me to pour it out after he's had his meat

They also get treats...sliced deli chicken/turkey, yogurt/fromage frais, chicken paste from a jar, Thomas fish treats and their complete favourite, Tesco treats with chicken and cheese they go wild for them!

So, yes I am interested in cat and dog food but as they say 'if it aint broke don't fix it' is what i think.

If it aint broke dont fix it... yes i understand that but i still believe feeding your cats a bad diet ie whiskas biscuits which are mostly cereal and crappy fillers or felix/whiskas with awful chemicals and sub-standard ingredients is not good, yes your cat may live to 20 odd with no problems but they also may not, i know people that have lost their cats to diet related illness, i just dont think its worth the risk. Id personally feed my cats the best i can and avoid ingredients that are prove to be bad for them, thats my respnosibilty as a owner because they dont get to choose (thankgod!hehe) But that is my personal opinion, no offense intended
