Good Quality Cat Food

My 3 cats are now seniors with two being 13 and one 16. I seem to be throwing a lot of cat food away at the moment so I’ve been trying out different foods with them. They love Untamed but bearing in mind I would use 6 tins a day, plus one cat loves his Royal Canin dried food down all the time so he can graze, this is just too expensive to give them all the time.

Can I ask what you feed your cats? Mine usually eat Goumet Perle or any of the other various Gourmet varieties, Purina, Felix As Good as It Gets and absolutely love Encore occasionally (really as a treat as it’s not a complete food). They don’t like beef or lamb flavours. I do use Zooplus with a repeat prescription to keep the cost down a bit.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Mine are on Applaws. Dry food down all the time for grazing (because it’s complete). And a small tin of wet each per evening (chicken in broth) as a treat because it’s not complete.

TBH, what I dish up from the tins would suffice for me in a zombie apocalypse! It looks fairly edible in an emergency 😹

Their poos all look fine and don’t smell on this regime, so we’re all happy in this household.

Same! Only my 2 will only consider the tuna varieties… they have half a tin each in the morning and another half in the evening plus 1 bowl of dry. They look well fed.
