Cheap catfood = unhappy kitties

Pro Plan is the *only* food Bootsie will eat. I agree with you, it might not
be
the best food on the market, but it's still good quality. It's hard to find
here, though. The only place I can find it is PetsMart in the city.

Started to ask where you found it, but you answered the question
before I could ask. Have you've tried the Petco down in Wichita
Falls. I haven't been there, but figure it might be closer, though
maybe not since you're closer to OK city.

(For those who don't know, Sherry lives not to far where where I do,
so we have the same problem of no readily available big stores.)

Steve Touchstone,

I had to go to the city today to take DH for a procedure on his back, and have
to go back tomorrow to pick up Biskit. It's 104 miles round trip. How far is
Wichita from Lawton? I really rack up the miles on the car lately. While I was
there, I went to Petsmart to get the usual....Four (25 lb.) bags of litter, two
jugs of dry Proplan, three cases of canned cat food, two cases of dog food.
An impulse purchase of a new feather wand and 2 new snails. Grand total, $110.
But most of it will last a month. Plus paying for Biskit's surgery tomorrow.
(I was absolutely afraid to ask what it costs)
But I digress. (Yes, Joy, I'd like a little cheese with my whine, please)
Pity, party of one?

Sherry

Sounds like about the same distance for me to head south as it is for
you heading north. Like I said, I haven't been to the store in Wichata
Falls, but according to the computer search I did it's 51 miles one
way.

Sounds like you make enough trips to the City so that it wouldn't make
much sense to make a special trip south.

Whiskas makes rabbit flavour? Wow, I've never seen that before.

Not just rabbit flavour, but Whiskas "WITH" rabbit - there's a
difference. If a tin of petfood says "with" something, it needs a
certain % of that meat in it. (Not sure how much). If it says "Rabbit
flavoured" then it's just flavouring on beef or somesuch.

It's the only Whiskas that all 3 cats truly "love" as opposed to
"put-up-with & eat". As for the Rabbit *flavored* Felix, Tiger won't
touch it with a 40ft barge pole.

I've not seen rabbit flavored or rabbit as an ingredient in any cat food
here in the Eastern United States. I'll ask when I next go to the Pet
Supermarket.

I seem to remember that, at least in Finland, a petfood saying "with"
something, the percentage that had to be this ingredient was 4%. But
then again it's Friday evening and there's been a long and dreary week
of work so my memory on catfood issues might be compared to swiss
cheese...

I think of Whiskas as the best wet food here. The cats would be
mortified if I brought anything else home.

You're probably right, unless you start feeding Denes or somesuch. the
thing to remember about European pet foods, is that all pet foods by
European law, have to be made of human grade consumption meat - it might
only be the stuff that cheap sausages etc are made of, but the brand pet
food here is far better quality than in the USA. Hence, 95% of UK owners
get their wet pet food off the shelves in a supermarket. And like your
owner - Tiger would kill me if he didn't get his fix of rabbit whiskas
at least twice a week!

In the UK it does.

My two still won't eat it.

LOL - neither will mine. Cat food of desire right now is Royal Canin "Sensible
33" for the feline of delicate digestion ;-) As a certain black-furred and
one-eyed ladycat is also known as Ms. Bulimia, who needs no excuse to
artistically decorate a carpet... it's working quite well as she's not doing it
as much. Of course, tomorrow could be an entirely different matter ;-)
