Sorry another cat thread about food this time.

[Schmetterling]

Ooooh, don't be: confused, I mean.

i've always been told not to give cats chicken bones cos they splinter.

I know. I started off by giving them the bones to get the bits of meat off and they, well, just finish the lot. I think I'll better stop that.

i feed mine a mid range dried food from the states. iam's not very big here (and for the 4 thousand and 100times i'll say, im not in the uk) .

when i give it pouches, or tin food, it just licks off the juices as mentioned here.

would love to cook fresh stuff for kitty though!

and yes omega, and fatty stuff is supposed to be very good for kitty's coat.

bones for cats? they dont feed chicken bones for dogs even because they splinter very easily!

lol@ passenger.

Thought of a great cat treat while shopping the other day. I am a little wary of giving Molly the Moo tuna in brine because the salt content isn't supposed to be very good for them, so I was looking for tuna in water in tescos. No luck, but then I spied a tin of John West soft cod roes. No added ingredients and she scoffed the lot in two seconds flat. The combination of creamy texture and pungent fishy aroma is a surefire winner. For cats, at least. I don't think I could swallow it. Ack.

Sorry to bump old thread but I can't see the current one.

The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) said this week it was aware of at least 528 cases in cats over the past few months, of which 63.5% have proved fatal. The true number of deaths could be far higher, it said, because many cases are not reported to vets and only a small percentage of vets pass data on to the RVC.

Certain batches of Sainsbury’s hypoallergenic cat foods, Applaws and AVA (a Pets at Home brand) were recalled by their manufacturer, Fold Hill Foods, in mid-June, prompting an investigation by the RVC and the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
