I'm trying Boyfie on Butcher's Classic tins. It might be better than Whiskas
and he likes it. Today he does, anyway. It has a lot more meat in than is normally claimed for his pouches and no gluten and no sugar. I might keep him on it depending whether it upsets his tummy. |

I hope it suits him and he still likes it tomorrow. I think I'll try it with Sootie. It sounds good. Judith Butcher's always made very good food for dogs and now they are trying the cat market. Seems very good food. Boyfie loves it and there is nothing in it for me to worry about. Tweed |

Butcher's Classic tins. [...] no gluten and no sugar.
Our lot like it. It's one of the cheaper brands and "no gluten" is essential - our Chloe would probably die within weeks if she went back on a diet that included gluten. There seems to be very little in print or in veterinary folklore about gluten intolerance in cats, but we've had two (unrelated) who had it badly. Maybe somebody needs to make more of an issue of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

If you can find it (I think ASDA sell it), Webbox cat food is also gluten-free, reasonably priced, and mine seem to like it. They love the treats especially!

Perhaps it should be you ;-) I hadn't realised that cats could have a problem with gluten intolerance. I didn't buy it because Boyfie is gluten intolerant, he isn't but because it seems to have more meat in (and, no "various sugars", you know what I'm like about protecting my lad's teeth!) It wasn't expensive, like you say. 6 x 400g tins, 3 flavours, for £2.50. Butcher's have a good reputation with canned dog food, so I thought I've give it a go. Tweed |

It has a lot more meat in than is normally claimed for his pouches and no gluten and no sugar. I might keep him on it depending whether it upsets his tummy. That's what Baggy eats most of the time. The only thing is it comes in cans and Boyfie is far fonder of the first meal from the can than the second, presumably because he's used to having a fresh pouch every meal. Pouches are 100g each and these cans are 400g, so I tend to give him quite a bit more each meal. Believe it or not, he could not eat all his teatime meal tonight, that's a first! he will polish it off when he gets up later from hs duvet, around 8 pm and probably won't ask for his sprinkles at 10 pm, which is a good thing.

I've only seen Webbox treats in my local Asda which is quite a big store, not the cat food. As I said upthread, Boyfie doesn't need a gluten-free food, I just liked the idea of more actual meat in it and that the manufacturers cared enough to keep gluten out of it in case it was an issue. He does like it, but the chunks are larger than he likes, but hey, his teeth are perfect, prob ably due to my no-sugar-in-his food policy. As he was able to eat a whole collared dove very recently except for one wing, his claim that he would prefer his new cat food to have smaller chunks goes unheard ;-) Tweed |

Alas no ASDA near us but if it turns up there then sooner or later it'll be in one of the other stores nearby- in fact I think I may have seen it in "Wilkinson's" so as I need to pop there on Sunday for some other bits I'll look our for it
