What cat food do I get???

[lute]

Thanks so much for the great advice! I always get my questions answered on PT! That's why I love this place! I thought you were suppose to free feed carts. I was told that by a cat rescuer. once we find a decent food she likes we will probably stop free feeding. She sleeps by her food bowl too sometimes. She's got a little bit of a "pocket". She is still somewhat active and will lay with her toys if you are playing with her.

I only have one pic of her right now. It's not a good one either. I took it with my phone. We named her Blunt. We also call her Big Worm from the movie Friday. My bf's favorite movie.

Also called "spay sway."

Hello Blunt, you are a gorgeous gray lady! So happy to meet you!

My vet says cats need to be fed twice daily. I reply: my cats haven't read your books; they insist on 3 feedings per 24 hours.

I'm typing through the cat that thinks he is on the three hour diet.

Mine eat Blue Wilderness Dry Chicken and a mixture of Blue Wilderness canned and Nutro Natural Balance. They won't go back to the cheap stuff now.

Jane says Gray a a great color.

There are other good foods out there but you won't find them at Petsmart or Petco

Napoleon , our found cat, is eating Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul which is grain free and also not too expensive.. He has gone from thin as a rake and no shine too sleek and muscled in only a few weeks! I highly recommend it.

"Spay pocket"??? I have one of those!!! So does Shortie and Maya Linn. RB MooShoo did too!!

I free feed my cats. Once you've changed their food to a premium dry food that doesn't have fillers or by-products, you'll find your cats will be satisfied and eat less.

My cats get one-half of a can of wet, morning and evening, and they free feed with Blue Wilderness dry (I will never stop feeding this stuff, it's great!). They don't constantly go back to their food bowls with the good stuff. Now, Mac needs to put on a little weight and the good stuff has stopped his vomiting. Now the food stays inside him and he is slowly gaining weight and his fur is soooo soft! Good cat food DOES make a difference! By the way, Blunt is truly gorgeous!

Awww! Blunt says thanks, but she is well aware that she is beautiful! You can keep telling her though.

If you have a good quality dry food Blunt will stop eating when she's full? Right? I talked to her previous owner today and she said that Blunt has always been free fed. I'd like to continue to free feed her since that's what she's use to. I'll keep you updated on what food we pick up tomorrow. I'm really leaning toward the Blue Wilderness. I like the ingredients and you all seem to have good success with it. I think we're gonna try it.

On an un-food related topic. I've got a small slicker brush I've been brushing Blunt out about 3 times a day. She seems to like it. I feel a little bit of flea dirt behind her ears. What is the best flea preventative for cats? I use Frontline on Chloe only when she needs it. I give her garlic pills a couple times a month in the winter if I saw a flea. When I was working in the vet clinics I always saw cats come in that had reactions to flea preventative. I do know a lot of these cats were reacting to Sergent's products. Bought at Wal-Mart or a similar place. I would never use these products. I haven't seen any fleas, just felt the flea dirt. Wondering what is a good preventative.

Blunt, you are gorgeous!
