    I'm so glad my cat isn't fussy with water, it drinks it from the tap, or jumps in the bath for you to turn the tap on.

    You have some posh cats :p

    Is it safe for animals to drink from bathroom taps? Angus always wants too but ours aren't plumbed into the mains and I worry about any heavy metals etc that may be in the water.

    I've fed my cats on Iams dry food for years with no problems at all although they do have plenty of live wet food in the fields should they want it. In fact today there was a perfectly formed little field mouse left for me at the front door un-eaten!

    Please think about those poor victims of their experiments :eek:

    Is that true or is it one of those internet myths/hoaxs?

    Even if it were true, surely all pet food makers would be the same.

    JUST TO ADD, I DON'T FEED IAMS:D

    Dont think its a hoax or web myth

    And unfortunately mars,nestle,colegate palmolive, proctor gamble ALL have or still do animal test (as in vivisection)

    However Im of the mind that yes they do this or have done it, but if the end result is what is best for our pet, then morals have to go by the by. And I dont think any of us should be judging others for their choices or forcing our beliefs on others. Feeding is always a personal choice

    My last dog was fed pedigree, was all he would eat :D

    That's fair comment, but at least be informed about the choice your making and at least try to avoid companies who use un-ethical practices.

    Do you drink coffee/tea; eat chocolate, breakfast cereals; use soap, washing powder, household cleaners, toothpaste, shampoo, shower gels, etc etc ... these are all made by the same companies so why boycott pet food and not the rest?

    Hypocritical if you ask me :rolleyes:

    As I said, be informed about your choice & where possible try to avoid un-ethical companies.

    I avoid any company which tests on animals if at all possible. I get all of your list form cruelty free companies too.
