Cats still catting away part 5

New thread

Felix is just wonderful.

I'm sat outside Sainsbury's waiting for it to open. For the first time ever we have ran out of wet food and I'll be punished when I get home and their breakfast is late. I'm so annoyed about the lack of kitten food in these places I wish I was brace enough just to put them on the same thing already

We put our last kitten on adult food from about 6 months, our vet was fine with us doing that.

Well surely a good quality adult food is better that the whiskas they sell in supermarkets. Mind you that sounds snobby and I'm not it's just they tell you how bad it is soni believe it.

I've bought Iams kitten no idea if it will pass the test

Adult food for a few days isn't going to .......permanently injure him. How old is he?

Ollie is a delicate shade of Dulux chic shadow
He seems to have wiped himself along the edging I so carefully painted and has tinted the tips of his fur

She's five and a half months. I've got Iams kitten which is basically a bag of gravy, neither of them have been bothered with food much the last couple of days it must be the weathwe

I used Iams kitten for a short while but there must be hardly anything in them if you look at how many pouches you are supposed to give them a day.

I know I started laughing!!! It's got a much higher meat content than Felix I don't know what else I'm
Supposed to look at on the labels. It would cost a fortune if you gave them the four a day it says on the box.

Felix doesn't actually say how much meat is in it, just the amount of named meat e.g. chicken. Maybe it has more than we think

Well it looks much more solid doesn't it? I can't help feeling that we are being conned along the way. I'm trying to get the baby off Felix kitten but tbh she looks lovely on it and her dry food is the expensive grain free kind. I dunno but I do know vets have an incentive to push products it's like an work isn't it! The nurse was telling me her pet plan is only £32 for two yet mine is £53!!!

The insurance probably depends on how much the annual cover is for, costs less for say £4k per year than for £7k.

I think the idea with the food is that they give you the amount they should be getting if that's their only food, and reduce it appropriately if you have mixed e.g. on the Royal Canin dry I use it says about 75g per cat per day, but to reduce that proportionally if I also give wet food. Mine aren't too greedy, so I can put wet down twice a day & they self-regulate with dry that's down all the time.

I pay £23 for 2 with the premier cover (£7500) from Tesco. Petplan wanted about £30 each! I buy flea stuff monthly (£15 ish for 2) and worm stuff every 3 months although I bought a special multipack months ago that will do the next 3 doses each

She told me that was her staff discount. I pay £23 for two a month for their flea treaments vaccines and worming and they get 10% off everything a the vets and a check up every six months (which we havent ever used)

I don't use a vet plan thing, I just pay when I go. Don't know how much our vet one is tbh.

Both giving me a bit of worry at the moment.
Cat1 had a dental and took days to recover from the GA. I'm guessing it's her age and we won't be doing any more of those... Seems OK now though.
Cat2 has come back from the cattery with the flu. She has mega cute sneezes, but still, it's hardly ideal.

How old is Cat1?

Aw poor things.

Dolly is too exhausted to play. Would I be a bad mummy if I didn't take her for a post op check? She seems fine and would has healed nicely.

Cat1 is just shy of 11, but generally unhealthy anyway as has IBD and some unknown allergies. The dentals have been fairly regular due to chronic gingivitis/calici, but given she has made it this far with all her teeth - we were categorically told she'd have lost most of them by now, don't think she was listening at the time - I think we'll skip them or space them out more.

My old girl.

Only a youngster then.

Of course. The constant texts from the vet surgery inviting her to Senior Club are downright slanderous.

I've yet to have a cat who doesn't make 19 so she's some way to go.

Felix is gorgeous, love a bit of fang!
