Cat food recommendations

[Fatkittythinkitty]

Hello. I have been told that the pouches of kitekat I've been feeding my two are the equivalent of junk food.

What can I feed them that's an equivalent price but better for them?

They used to eat tins of butchers but went off it years ago and I don't know if its still seen as good anyway.

One is 6 and the other 14 and as my name suggests one is thin and the other fat!

Hi OP.
I have been feeding my cat better quality food recently, and it has paid off.
I buy Lily's Kitchen, Untamed, Meowing Heads, Sheba, and tried Pets at Home Seriously good Bistro.
Felix good as it looks says 4% of meat in chunks the rest is animal derivatives and various sugars.
Whiskas similar.
The ones i suggested vary from 50% - 60 % or something like that.

Orijen biscuits & Applaws tins seem to keep my two happy (& don't make the litter trays too stinky!)

Thanks both, I'll check all those out

I feed my boys Feringa which I get either from Zooplus or Bitiba, they aren't mad keen on just the plain chicken flavour but love everything else and look really nice and healthy - glossy fur, lots of energy, good muscle tone etc.

Here's an ingredients example:

Chicken & Trout with Potato & Parsley:
50% chicken (meat, heart, liver, neck, gizzards) 27.6% stock, 20% trout, 1.5% potato, 0.7% minerals, 0.1% parsley, 0.1% inulin

For dried food I buy Scrumbles (or is it Scumbles - I can’t remember as I decant it into a tub).

for sachets I buy 100% raw meat from a pet shop near me, Miaowing Heads is good but I find that it really smells quite overly meaty and nasty (cat loves it, me not so!). Lilys Kitchen little tins are fantastic - cat wolfs them down and they don’t smell bad. Blink sachets from Pets at Home are also really good and also get wolfed.

The higher the meat percentage also means a less stinky litter tray of your cat uses one too.

Blink in this house, my kitten goes mad for it and she's really really picky.

From a general supermarket, Harringtons or Webbox. Butchers pouches I've seen in Lidl and B&M/Home Bargains if you want to try them on that again. Crave and Scrumbles for dried food if you can find it.

Agree with PP on the Feringa from Zooplus. There's a high meat content food from there too called Catesy which DCat likes too.

You can get Scrumbles in Tesco - they often have the salmon one on special offer (never the chicken - why?!). Failing that it’s also on Amazon and works out really cheap if you set up auto-delivery.

Scrumbles is also available in Sainsbury's.
