OT/ Paul Newman's Cat Food?

I recently bought a bag of Paul Newman's, "Chicken and Rice Adult and Kitten
Formula" for my 5 month old kitten, Dove. I love Paul Newman' organic
coffee, and really like the fact that much of the proceeds on his products
go to various charities. I'd also heard from a friend that Newman's cat food
is made in a region where the recent tsunami struck.

Anyway, I was in the pet store and noticed that they sold Newman's cat food,
which I didn't even know was available. I scanned the ingredients before
buying it, and not surprisingly, was very impressed with all of the good,
organic ingredients used, especially the chicken, itself. Dove, so far,
seems to like it fairly well, although not as much as his favorite (the much
less expensive), Whiskas: "Chicken and Turkey". But I plan on continuing to
purchase Newman's cat foods from now on, and really want to try his wet
food, although this particular store didn't have any of his wet, canned
food, in stock. Anyone else tried Newman' cat foods yet?

Nope - but I will look for it. I'm trying to find alternatives my cats
will *eat*.

I got a sample bag of it and use it for treats for my cats. They like
it, and I too like Paul Newman products. If you're looking for the
canned, you might check out Whole Foods Market if you have one in your
area. I know the one near me carries it.

Thanks for the heads up on Paul Newman cat food. I didn't know about it
and will definitely get some for my cats. I love his spaghetti sauce
and the mint oreos are to die for. I especially like that the proceeds
go to good causes.

Try his dark orange chocolate. Impressive.

So after reading Steve G's data as repeated here by EQ, you are going
to go ahead and feed this to your cat(s)? Incredible.

I hope your cats do well on the warm fuzzy feelings you are getting.

I'm addicted to the salad dressing and marinara sauce.

Yes, the dressings are great. Haven't tried the sauce.

I like the Bombolina marinara sauce.

Well the salmon's not so bad, apart from high sodium - not sure how
critical that is, either? Alas, my cats tend to avoid the salmon.

However, I shall be avoiding the turkey and chicken, except perhaps as
an occasional treat.

On the flip side, I shall not be avoiding their low-fat Fig Newmans.
Mmmmm. However, the salsa is right out. Too high in phosphorous for me.

It's funny how I'll watch like crazy what I feed my cats, but I don't
give a crap what I eat, as long as it doesn't make me put on weight.
After all, I am trying to kill myself off before I retire into the
American Social Security Nightmare in about 30 years. I guess that's why
I do rock/ice climbing, telemark skiing on the steeps, mountain biking.
and Extreme Gardening.

OK, gotta ask. What is "extreme gardening"?
