'Natural balance' catfood was a huge hit...
It was on sale before Christmas so I bought the girls three small cans
of it for their stocking. I gave them 'chicken liver pate' yesterday and 'seafood' today, and both were scarfed down in double quick time. Judging by their reactions to it, it's Gourmet - they liked it even better than the fresh turkey and ham they got on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! Has anyone used this canned food on a regular basis? They liked it so much that I'm thinking of buying them more instead of their Science Diet. These cans seem to have less byproducts and fillers in them, and more actual meat, but they're priced accordingly... |

They don't like any pate type catfood. Your kitties eat dry Science Diet, right? Some canned food would probably be good for them. I feed both dry & canned. Have you tried the new Sheba in the tiny little 3-oz round tins? O. My. Gosh. I picked up 4 for Christmas. They *scarfed* it. Unfortunately for them I'm not starting them on another habit--it's $1.19 a can. I doubt it's healthy anyway--they liked it too much! The chicken was the whitest, purest-looking, best smelling cat food I've ever seen. Sherry |

Neither Cali or Smokey like the chunks (grilled), they eat the gravy and leave the chunks. Cleo will pretty much eat anything, except her expensive damned compounded pills. (Did they not test this stuff on cats?) The girls all loved the preformed Turkey Product (Butterball) though. Cali was looking for seconds and Cleo was mooching at the table, which is normally a Smokey trick. |

My cat eats the Natural Balance venison and peas. It's a limited ingredient
food design for cats that have food allergies (which my cat apparently does). He loves it. In fact, I feed it to my non-allergic cat too and he loves it. Sue "Karen AKA Kajikit" wrote in message ...

P My cats on Maui liked the Pate kind, too, but my pack here in Florida prefer chunky food. Thank goodness that they all eat the chunky *and* the same flavor! kili |

(Did they not test this stuff on cats?) I have wondered if they actually tested the food out on cats for YEARS! What's with those "fresher", Whiska, pounch things? I have never had a cat like those and dang, they're expensive! They must be selling, because the darn things are still out there on the market, but, shoots, I've tested it on 6 cats now and they all turn their noses up. Oh, oh, oh......... Fancy Feast, Cod, Sole & Shrimp (I think)......the makers try to make it look like a really delicious blend of chunky seafood with real tiny shrimp and stuff. You'd think a cat would go nuts, but I've never had a cat eat it, ever. Yet, my cats like shrimp and fish. Go figure. kili |

If you fed them canned and no dry I bet Silver and Scout would slim down. I
worry a bit about them. I hear it is quite a decent food. "Karen AKA Kajikit" wrote in message ... It was on sale before Christmas so I bought the girls three small cans of it for their stocking.

Seriously, Miranda is probably way better off on the raw diet she is getting
with supplements. If I ever got a baby again, I think I would try to go raw. "Marina" wrote in message ... wrote: Have you tried the new Sheba in the tiny little 3-oz round tins? O. My. Gosh.

The chicken was the whitest, purest-looking, best smelling cat food I've ever seen. My niece told me that the chicken Sheba had actual bits of chicken in it, so I decided to try if Miranda would eat it. I bought the cats one tin each for Yule (at 1.30 euros a can!). I thought maybe I'd finally found a cat food she would eat, instead of just fresh meat. Haha! frustrated/hysterical laughter She did sniff it longer than any other food (usually she just walks away if I put cat food in front of her), but then she walked away. I didn't give up. I didn't give her any other food, and offered her the Sheba a few more times, when she asked for food. But every time I offered her the bowl, she didn't even sniff it any more, she just walked away when she saw what was in the bowl. So in the end, Caliban got two bowls of very expensive cat food, and Miranda got her fresh beef. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.
