Food advice please - recently adopted young cats

[Silvercatowner]

Hello. Our two recently adopted young cats are adorable and we have fallen completely in love with them. I'm confused about the right feeding regime for them though, as our previous cat was unwell and on a very restricted diet of dried food for years.

Currently we feed them Whiskers sachets, one sachet between them in the morning and one in the evening. They enthusiastically lick the gravy/jelly off and then somewhat reluctantly finish the dry chunks that are left. They have dried food available all the time.

Is this enough? Should they have more wet food? Am I missing something?

Thanks

Hi there, long time cat servant, and I know my vet approves of what I feed mine and they are thriving.

Cookie is 10 months, Biscuit is almost 12 weeks. I leave out Canagan grain free dry food all the time. Little pricey, but good for all life stages. Orijen would be my second choice.

I give them applaws wet food, and Cookie really loves gourmet perle (but only gets that as a rare treat).

Whiskas isn't a disaster, but has more grain and fillers than I'd like. If you do a quick google on how to read a cat food label that might help.

That said, one of my old cats hated all but Whiskas and he was a healthy lump of a thing.

Thanks very much.

Applaws wet food - tin a day as a treat : not complete cat food. Applaws dry as my lady of the rescue 's main food.

3 cats, 5-6 Felix AGAIL pouches between them daily (but monster 6kg boy gets the lion's share, 3.5/4kg girls eat much less) plus a bowl a day of neutered female Royal Canin.

They're all bright-eyed & shiny on that combination

Whiskas - what the rescue place fed ours- made her fart like a trouper. Do troupers fart?
Felix isn't great for the urinary tract.

We have one cat and he has three pouches a day as he can't have biscuits. He has Natures Menu for breakfast and dinner and Hi Life for lunch.

Had cats for years.. I'd say wet is good if you have a Wilkinson I'd go and try brekkies cat food it's comes in a few different flavors and the bags are big so would last a while that way you can put dry food down for them during daytime which they can access when they want. Our little cat loved brekkies to bits to the point I left a bag down for a few minutes after coming back In house for it to be ripped open.

Ours has gourmet perle in the morning and hills in the evening. She was on whiskas when we got her seven years ago then Sheba after she indicated she was bored of whiskas and now the gourmet stuff.......

Clalpolly why is Felix bad for the urinary tract?

Kept mine on what the rescue fed them, with a couple of tweaks. They get 1.5 pouches Felix AGAIL between them a day (in 2 meals) and as much Royal Canin Indoor kibble as they want with the occasional treat of the Royal Canin Anti-Furball kibble (Girlcat's favorite, she would eat herself circular if that was down all the time).

They are perfect weight & very glossy, and passed their vet check with flying colours 2-3 months ago so can't be doing that much wrong.

my three horrid henrys have aldis pouches as they are wheat free, and eat all of it, also good is butchers classic tinned , harringtons biscuits are rice and chicken and seem to go down well here , whiskas is a funny one mine used to love whiskas but i think they have changed the recipes because even my non fussy ones wont eat it unless they are starving

How old are they? 2 pouches a day between 2 cats isn't much. Look on the back of the pack for feeding guidelines.

Wet food is lower calorie than dry, so they need more weight for weight.
