    Well other cat food that in the similar class to Butchers Classic is Gelert, but one thing to Chamelon esp on the 4% meat products just cause they dont mention they have preservaties does not mean they dont have it. Cause the farmer might use a feed that contain it to feed the chicken, lamb etc. Also anti-biotic. So cause manafactuer did not use it themselves dont have to declare it. Other food is Almo Nature, similar to applaws (which now have 75% dried meat content) but Holisitc. Other one Bozita which through have a low meat content cause made in Sweden the meat that is used in it cant be fed on feed that contain EEC stuff.

    For some reason I'd completely missed Bozita wet, I think as the dry food is poor with the main ingredient maize. :confused: But actually the wet is very decent for the price, it's only the main flavour that is 4%, not the total identifiable meat content:

    Ingredients: Haddock:
    Chicken, haddock (> 4%), pork, beef, minerals, egg, carrots, ß-1.3/1.6 glucan
    Perch:
    Chicken, perch (> 4%), pork, beef, minerals, egg, paprika, ß-1.3/1.6 glucan
    Crayfish:
    Chicken, crayfish (> 4%), pork, beef, minerals, egg, dill, ß-1.3/1.6 glucan
    Minced beef:
    Chicken, beef (> 4%), pork, minerals, egg, paprika, ß-1.3/1.6 glucan
    Beef liver:
    Chicken, beef liver (> 4%), pork, minerals, egg, carrots, ß-1.3/1.6 glucan
    Rich in Chicken:
    Chicken (50%), pork, sodium chloride, carrots, yeast
    Chicken liver:
    Chicken (> 4% chicken liver), pork, beef, minerals, egg, carrots, ß-1.3/1.6 glucan
    Rabbit:
    Chicken, pork, rabbit (> 4%), sodium chloride, carrots, yeast
    Supplemented with:
    Vitamin A (1.800 IU/kg), vitamin D3 (230 IU/kg), vitamin E (11 mg/kg), copper [copper sulphate](1.4 mg/kg).

    Works out to £2.60 per kilo for the tetrapack size which is cheap, less if you are willing to buy the tins (main ingredient lungs, which sounds gross but good for carnivores) or you buy a large case of the tetrapacks. :T Let's hope Noah likes it!

    Is Butchers classic cheaper than Feline Fayre or Hi-life? Thing is I am preoccupied with price but also moggies teeth so used to buy a shrink wrap set of six or twelve tins but obviously the more wet in the more wet out (yes it sounds selfish but subsquent begging being followed every time I go to the fridge puts me off tins - sachets are one-off treats served direct from the `cat cupboard', a tin is doled out over a period of days)

    I have adopted a Ragdoll cat who has a dicky tummy, after changing her food to see if we could stop the diahorrea I am now on Butchers Classic which contains no cereal as I think that is the cause of the sloppy stinky poo. Up to now she has not had any episodes of diahorrea. My other cats can eat almost anything with no sideffects. Also Butchers Classicis relatively cheap,
    I paid just under a fiver for 12 mixed cans in Sainsburys, have also seen it in Tesco as well. All my 4 cats wolf it down.

    We have 5 cats, and used to feed them a combination of wet and dry food, but then we were told by our vet that dry food is better for them, especially as one of our cats had problems with her teeth and gums.

    Dry food only has been shown to cause UTI if the cats don't drink enough water. I always find it strange that vets recommend dry only but always recommend the Dry that they sell. Strange that Huh.

    Our cats have a mixture of dry and wet. As others have said its well worth checking the ingredients. If you shop online and buy in bulk you can normally buy a lot cheaper and frequently buy good quality food (ingrediant wise) for prices less than supermarket brands
