Decent wet food

[ItsMyPartyParty]

So, I have a rescue. Ex feral. Has had stomach issues on and off since being rescued. At the moment he is on Harringtons pouches and biscuits, which I know are rubbish, but his tummy is happy on them! A few months ago we had to transition him from being an outdoor cat to indoors. He used to catch and eat a considerable amount of the local wildlife as well as nicking food from all the neighbours. He’s getting excessively demanding around meal times and a bit fat, and I feel that a better quality food might help as he used to get the variety of whole mice etc. in his diet.

All of which is a long winded way of saying - what wet and dry food is decent quality without breaking the bank, and hopefully without upsetting his tummy. He is 11ish, fairly sedentary due to being indoor, bad teeth.

Oh bless him. Rosies farm is a really good quality wet grain free cat food and thrive kibble is really high in protein and grain free. Both not too badly priced.

If he has stomach issues and you've finally found a food that agrees with him, I would be reluctant to change it now to be honest. Harringtons isn't awful.

If he's putting on weight, the best thing to do is just reduce his food and increase his exercise. We have a cat on a diet at the moment and we cut his food down but started to spread it out over three meals instead of two so that he didn't feel as deprived, lol.

Thanks both. New toys have been purchased for Christmas to increase his exercise - horrible things that look like dead birds that he will love…

Im not actually too worried about his weight as he always puts on weight in the winter and loses it in the summer, but need to keep an eye on it now he’s indoors.

I think I’ll try introducing a new food very very slowly to see how he gets on with it. Good to hear someone say Harringtons isn’t terrible, I’m used to people slating anything less than perfect!
