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 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. |

Since Science Diet is garbage The fact that Hill's require a prescription for hypoallergenic and (premium) dental care cat food sucks. I will avoid them for at least a while. They give kickbacks to dentists for "prescribing" their premium products even though at least some of those products in fact require no prescription. And they don't allow merchants to sell any of those products without a phony prescription. Hopefully people are becoming more aware and we all stop falling for that nonsense. |

Thus, available only thru a vet. For most of them this isn't true, it's just a plus (for the vet) if the only place you can get it is in their clinic. Big markup. buglady take out the dog before replying |

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. So what's wrong with Friskies? We've been feeding it to our cat for at least ten years now with no ill-effects. I swear... you people and your politically correct, knee-jerk BULLKRAP. You've always got to jump on the PC bandwagon against some time-honored product with an impeccable reputation. Like cats aren't supposed to drink milk and dogs aren't supposed to have chocolate. All of the things Americans have been doing for from well before any of you were ever born. The old ways are the best ways. Always. So leave well-enough alone. That's my advice. |
