Wet Food
Our cats seem to like a combination of wet food and dry food. What are
some of the better wet foods widely available that offer good nutritional value? Currently they are eating Fancy Feast, which I understand is not the best wet food by any means. If anyone knows about this, can you reply? Thanks... |

There are many opinions on the 'best' wet food. I primarily feed
Wellness wet (the grain free varieties), but also like Innova Evo and Nature's Variety (wet or raw). All are high quality, use human-grade ingredients, and don't have the 'stinky' cat food smell that cheaper brands have. |

Most especially, avoid anything with grains. Cats do not need carbs and should not have them. There is a much higher incidence of diabetes and other health problems in cats that are fed a diet of dry food or canned food with grains. MaryL |

My vet recommended Wellness and EVO, but they both stink to high heaven.

If grains are not desirable, then why does Wellness sell a grain variety as opposed to their grain free variety? |

Because many cats love carbs/grains, even though they don't need them and they're not good for them. Kinda like how I'm eating this ice cream bar right now... It may have to do with the trend that is my current pet peeve (excuse the pun): Cat foods marketed with names that sound very tasty to HUMANS, with veggies in the name. Salmon with Wild Rice, or Tuna with Steamed Broccoli or somesuch. This just ticks me off. Most enlightened cat owners know cats do not need carrots, peas, or any other vegetable to stay healthy. They're marketed purely to appeal to the HUMAN's sense of "yea that looks tasty". I, personally, avoid them like the plague. Having more-or-less won the battle to get Meep on 100% wet food, we're not fighting the battle to turn my "obligate carbivore" back into the "obligate carnivore" she's supposed to be. jmc |

Wrong kind of protein though. jmc |

When taking a break from the hospital yesterday, I took a stroll around my
sons garden, which by the way is getting ready to be put up for the winter. Anyway, I looked around and there were two cats following me. They sniffed the green beans, onions, beets and all the rest. There was an ear of corn on the ground and they nibbled a bit at that then spit it out. I laughed to myself and wondered who it was that decided that cats needed veggies. About this time, a mouse ran out of the grape arbor and off went the cats in a dead run. "MaryL" -OUT-THE-LITTER wrote in message ... "jmc" wrote in message ...

I laughed to myself and wondered who it was that decided that cats needed veggies. I don't know about "need", but when I was a kid we had a beautiful orange female who ate table scraps plus whatever she foraged for herself. (She was an indoor-outdoor cat, and we had a small farm, so I'm sure mice and other small mammals were the majority of her diet.) She loved green beans. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |
