Cat Food Frustrations
Nov. 5th, 2010 03:55 pmSent this link to our Haushold mailing list, but figured it might be a good thing to get out to you other folks that have kitties.
Right, so... after our kittyboys have finally gotten used to their cat food and stopped doing what cats do all over the carpets (why just the carpets?? we have hardwood! so much easier to clean up!) quite so often, Iams has issues with contamination and production facilities being shut down... I haven't been able to find any of the right kind of food for weeks, and we were running really low this past week. J's mom has always fed Purina brand to their cats, so I grabbed a small bag of that, to mix with what was left of the Iams... the boys don't really like it. I don't really like it (looks and feel, not taste! haven't taste-tested it, thanks...). So in looking for something different, I found this spiffy site:
http://www.petfoodratings.net/cattable.html
All kinds of info... it's amazing and a little scary what we'll feed those little furry beasties... (read with caution... you many not want to know some of this... but there it is.) We're going to try the 'Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul' brand, cheezy name and all, but it's about the same cost as Iams, has a much better ingredient list, and the gal at the pet store was very positive and seemed informed about it. We'll see if Sr. Fluffytoes and Mr. Stripeybutt approve.
Figured I'd pass the link along, in case anybody else is having Iams issues (I can't remember/don't keep track of what y'all feed your cats... :) ).
