Hello! First post from me. So we got a new cat nearly two weeks ago - 18 month old male, house cat from a rescue centre. At the centre he was fed a mix of wet and dry (quantities unknown) and it was Felix/ Whiskers etc. I'd heard not great things about these brands and wanted to move him onto a well regarded brand so have him on Applaws. However I'm confused. The applause pouches use illustrations to recommend feeding amounts and I believe for a cat his size, it's two pouches recommended. However....it's a complimentary food and not a complete food. When I emailed Applaws they said that he should have 30g dry and one pouch a day. He's a hungry cat and this is a miniscule quantity of food - he follows me every time I go to the kitchen and sits by his bowl meowing. What I don't understand is that if it's a complimentary should I really be dropping the complete dry to such a small quantity - I'd understand if it was a complete food. Also why does the pouch recommend 2 servings a day (which would suit Max so much better), if the advice from the lady at Applaws is one pouch. You're not meant to feed a complimantary food as the sole food are you? So....if there's anyone out there mix feeding with dry and complimentary I'd like to know what to do for the best. Ultimately I could move over to a complete food - I just have 40 odd pouches of Applaws to use up first.
