Which brand of cat food do you feed your kot? What is their feeding

>>2480073
Hi anon. If you're feeding canned, you're already doing better than a lot of owners even if it's grocery store garbage. Canned is much, much better than dry kibble.

I feed my kots 50/50 dry/wet; I have three, so cutting their diet with kibble saves some money. They get 1/3c Canidae grain-free Pure Elements and 1/3 can of a local brand per day.

Here's a power ranking I made on kibble some weeks ago.

It's just a shitty cat. Feed it trash like it evolved to eat

Mine loved the fuck outta Meow Mix. Always just had his bowl filled and he ate whenever the hell he wanted... as a treat a few times a week, would give him a small can of Fancy Feast w/ Gravy in his fav meats.

Was healthy with zero issues eating like this for 16 years. Pic related, RIP pal.... died a year ago.

So, whats a decently priced dry kibble to feed a stray? Should I focus on something for sensitive stomachs, special nutritional needs, etc?

>>2480269
Tuna and Tylenol to help their coat/protect against parasites

>>2480254
He was a cutie anon. Looks a lot like one of my cats.

>>2480246
That would be dogs, good anon.

>>2480221
Good man, anon.

>>2480269
By stray, do you mean stray or feral? Stray should go a rescue and ferals can have bottom-bin crunch mixes. It doesn't really matter considering how overall poor their health is anyway.

>>2480213
Royal Canin literally saved my cat's life. He's been eating it since April and I'm planning on switching to Acana or something but not until next year.

>>2480217
Wait, is Nature's Variety Instinct Ultimate Protein worse than the regular Instinct?

Royal farm, plus various canned food like sheba, schesir, brit or almo nature

>>2480217
Have an opinion on this stuff, anon? It's what my cat eats for breakfast (he gets wet food for dinner) http://www.performatrin.com/products/performatrin-ultra-grain-free-recipe-cat-food/

Intesting post, but what are you basing this rating on? I hope you're not shitposting because i'm thinking about switching my cat to acana

>>2480213
What about treats? Should i give it to my cat, which brand is the best? Is Orijen good?

What's wrong with dry food?

>>2480622
Cats often don't drink enough water to compensate.

Thoughts on cutting mediocre kibble with premium wet food to save money?

>>2481166
the wet food is what's expensive. even top of the line kibble will only run you $15 a month.

>>2481166
>>2481176
meaning, you'd be better off buying premium kibble and then cheap wet food and feeding your cat a mix of it. or just feeding your cat all cheap wet food.
