What do yo feed your cat?
 
I have an old shitzoo. Anyway the old dog bearly gets around and has Diabetes.
Anyway I am continually giving the dog soft food, and peanut butter when I see her get obtunded.
Problem is the new puppy continually eats the soft food over hers, and the old dog can't chew the hard dog food.

So I need something I can leave down and both eat, but the puppy not enhale all of it.

Well last night I found it. I bought a bag of cat food. It is hard, small enough for the small dog to eat, and they both love it.
Now I can leave the cat food out during the day for both of them to eat. And when I put the puppy in the crate at night, I can put the old dogs soft food back out.

And if you are woundering about nutrition for the puppy. It gets all types of scraps, bones, nutrition treats, dry food, and half the little dogs food. I'm from the country. Our dogs always ate scraps, and any stray animal they could prey apon. LOL And they usually live 15 yrs.
They do die fat though. Lol

But anyway, what is yout prefered dry cat food?

Science Diet - RX
The shit's like $5 a pound.
Cost me an arm and Leg for four (4) live indoor cats

Braineack 09-07-2008 03:03 PM

Iams indoor cat formula. When I'm cheap, Purina Indoor or Natural.

johndoe 09-07-2008 03:08 PM

I give mine Pet Promise (it has no byproducts).

Science Diet.

My cat is small, but it seems like it takes her nearly 2 months before she goes through a 10lb bag.

xveganxcowboyx 09-07-2008 09:00 PM

Science diet is the best commonly available cat food. I usually feed my cat Iams though. It's reasonable stuff. I worked at an animal shelter and a vet for a while. When we would switch animals to science diet there was a noticeable improvement in physical appearance and activity. They do sometimes get the science diet "gut," but it's not a problem.

Just be aware that dog food is larger so that the large kibbles will scrape plaque off the dogs teeth and help keep them clean. You may want to manually clean your dogs teeth if you are feeding cat food.

fahrvergnugen 09-07-2008 09:18 PM

If I could ask; what do you mean Science Diet 'gut'? My cat does have a hairball issue...


Sorry to the OP..

Doppelgänger 09-07-2008 09:28 PM

i feed my cat unburned fuel and hydrocarbons...

Arkmage 09-07-2008 11:42 PM

whatever my wife buys and throws into the tupperware in the laundy room... don't know that I've ever seen the bag, but probably science diet.

Faeflora 09-08-2008 08:22 AM

I feed my cats food that doesn't have wheat. Or meat byproducts. Or euthanized cats and dogs.

Sorry to the OP..

Then you would buy the Science Diet Hairball Formula -- Or just add in Fish Oil to the food....

Newbsauce 09-08-2008 01:18 PM

I feed the cat whatever he demands. I think its Purina One.

The cheapest dry stuff from Wal-mart, and canned food sometimes. They won't even eat the expensive cat food, so I don't buy it anymore.

Braineack 09-08-2008 03:29 PM

We used to have a cat that only like the cheap Wiskas, or whatever it's called. And only from a small box....she would know if it was from a bag. In fact, if you mixed the two, same cat food, one in a box and one from a bag, she would only eat the ones from the box....somehow she could figure it out.

Kinda like coke in the little glass bottles versus from a can/2 liter bottle/etc... shit's just different out of that lil glass bottle.

Braineack 09-08-2008 03:56 PM

Nothing I do/say makes sense. I just happened to stumble across that image, made me laugh...Joey Jordison is the drummer of Slipknot, someone made that image for some odd reason.

True, I think the little dog will be fine though. She is only about 7 or 8 Lbs. My Neighbors cat is like 3 times her size. LOL

That cat is huge. I bet it is 25 Lbs. It is one of the biggest cats I've ever seen. It is like a freak of nature.
My puppy tried to attack it. Yea, as soon as it jumped into the bushes, the puppy jumped out dragging it's butt yelping. LOL

My cat will only drink water from a glass. If I put a coaster over the top and left it like that he'd die of thirst. He also humps blankets constantly so that should tell you something.

yup, except he prefers if I'm holding the glass and tipping it a little for him...I'm serious. I'm my cat's bitch.

My current cat eats friskies and fancy feast, and it drinks my tea when I'm not looking.

The old cat subsided on my golden retriever's food and water, and also drank my tea for some reason. It seriously thought it was a dog, never meowed once, and you could almost tell it was trying to bark at you....

I'm pretty sure you meant subsisted. Though it would be a funny sight to see your car subside into dog food.;)

airbrush1 09-09-2008 02:26 AM

I meant subsisted.... just can't type for shit tonight!

Sorry to the OP..

Some of the science diet fed cats just got a belly. not flabby loose fat, but a hardish belly. I don't think it was any sort of GI tract distention nor did it cause any problems. Looked a bit like the footage of lions after they chow down half a gazelle. Maybe the food just gave them super powered abs....

TurboTim 09-11-2008 08:13 AM

I let the cat outside and it feeds itself off the fruit of the land.
