will it hurt to feed them one bag of Friskies?
All my indoor cats were once neighborhood strays. But I like to feed
them better foods like Pro plan or science diet. Unfortunately, instead of the online merchant shipping Pro plan, they shipped Friskies. Will it hurt to feed them a big bag of Friskies? I promise not to make it a habit. |

Since Science Diet is garbage, I don't think it can be any worse! buglady take out the dog before replying |

I used to go round and round with a SD rep years ago on the dog health group. Their original food was a canned dog food used for hemorrhagic gastritis in dogs and not too bad.

I thought that they'd really like it, being mostly just meat, but they like their canned stinky stuff so that's what they get. Maybe I'll try the raw stuff again just to check. |

The other thing to keep in mind that they might like it better if it was warm so it has more of a smell. I used to be able to get freeze dried liver chunks at the pet food store, but they don't carry them any more. If you keep it in the freezer it stays crispy and you can powder a bit on top, which I'd do if they turned thumbs down at some batch of food they didn't like. I get these odd notions to toss in a bit of smashed broccoli and it usually turns everyone off! Buy them some crickets! I bought some frozen mice/chicks/quail recently from RodentPro. Haven't done that in a long time. Most of the cats really like the mice and some will eat the chicks. If I can catch an anole outside, I bring it in for the house bound. buglady take out the dog before replying |

I mean, I know that my cats are eating dead stuff (as am I come to think of it) but somehow feeding them baby mice (dead but still looking like cute little mice) ... I don't know, sort of hard to think of doing. I could probably get away with feeding live crickets to a reptile (and the upcoming reptiile shows look fun if I was in that area) but I couldn't even bear to cut apart a dead frog for biology class. |

Besides, most cats, not all, like that kind of food and it really gets their prey drive going. The first time I bought mice they were white and it looked like there was corn popping in the backyard! I could probably get away with feeding live crickets to a reptile .........If you look at that cat site I sent they have a breakdown of crickets and they're really pretty good food. buglady take out the dog before replying |
