Thread: How much do you spend on Cat food?

    That all sounds pretty reasonable I guess in dollars I spend about $19 which isn't too bad.
    Are there any cats on here that are only a dry diet as in biscuits, royal canin, science plan etc.
    I have thought about getting Sunny her own bag of better food than whiskas such as James Wellbeloved (which is a British dry complete cat food)or Purina one etc. It is very expensive though she does eat little amounts so may be worth thinking about.
    Jack prefers meat/wet food, do you think I'd have a problem converting him to dry food, he eats probably 3 times as much as Sunny he has a big big appetite and is always hanging around for food, and always in the kitchen asking for more even if he's just been fed!
    I know that dry diets have all the vitamens and minerals they need to keep them healthy, though I like the thought of Jack having meat as cats are carnivors by nature and like meat.

    I have 1 cat on a canned food diet. Amber has gum problems (stomatitis) and even with medication to reduce swelling, it hurts her to eat dry.

    I have 2 cats who won't eat dry unless I mix it with a little canned food.

    Other than that, the 13 others eat strictly dry. Lucas is on prescription Eukanuba Low Residue for his IBS, Rutherford is on Prescription Hill's x/d to prevent caliciun oxylate crystals, and the others are on Hill's Prescription c/d (which I mix with Pro Plan urinary tract formula).

    Oh yeah, and don't forget I feed foster cats too.

    For one cat it's about $20(AU) a month, that's mostly Whiskas tinned food and a 2kg box of dry food.

    That must be the first time I've ever considered what it costs a month for my cat, I'd pay double or more if I had to.
