So now we've had an in-depth report on what's on the supermarket shelves
with regard
to cat food.
Now not only do we know how to treat out Pussy [last week we had an
in-depth report on Pussy washing] but now we also know how to feed, said
Pussy.
We are so lucky in this news group..

Whilst licking their paws in aus.pets on 08 Aug 2003, Troy purred:

If you look carefully at my original post, I said that the Vet brands
are
*usually* used for special diets - not always.

Yes, I'm sorry I did misinterpret what you were saying - I thought you
were suggesting that supermarket varieties were as good (from a health
point of view).

Also, extra expense does not always equate with extra quality.

No, not always but generally.

Yes, I wasn't too clear in my post. I meant to go on to say that I
find the best range and choice in Sydney are the "PetBarns" or "Pet
Warehouse" chains that are large enough to carry a good variety, much
larger than my local supermarkets, and they also stock different
fresh pet meats; not so practical for our Singaporean friend - not
sure what Singaporean customs would think!

At the end of the day all commercial cat food is over-processed and
contains very poor protein - compared with a cats natural diet. I have
stopped buying pet food and have started to make my own. This was
inspired by the recent diagnosis of chronic renal failure in one of my
cats. I decided to take him completely off processed foods and have
adopted a more natural approach to feeding him. Not as convenient as
buying cat food but hopefully it will help his condition.
