High meat content cat food from supermarket

nanokitten

My kitten is currently teething at the mo and her teeth are really bothering her.
On very bad days the only thing she'll eat is biccies soaked in water for a couple of hours, her favorite are the posh purina 'pro' ones (which are 14% meat) which came free from the vet but she'll settle for the One brand (she also loved the natures choice ones that came from pigsback a while ago).

Maybe this would be a compromise as dry food is much cheaper so you could afford to buy the posh stuff.

I am not saying you are wrong, but many people feel dry food is not brillinat for cats. Especially some people dealing with CRF in cats, diabetes, or grain allergies. Cats are obilgate carnivores and weren't really designed to eat dry food. Though there are excellent dry foods available we choose to wet feed and also used to feed balanced raw. Our cats have regular chicken wings, and my vet, though reluctant to endorse this at first admits my cats teeth are excellent. Raw feeding teh whole diet is a whole nother thing, and not for everyone at all, I've stopped ATM but will go back to it in the future, its not something I would recommend to the average family pet owner because of the time etc.

I'm not saying that dried food is wrong or bad, Im saying it isn't thje only, or even bnecessarily the best. I'm pro catfood choice.

I was just pointing out that generally, a mixed diet, dry & wet is best as the dry is so good for their teeth which cats often have problems with.
I feed my cat a mixed diet, really good quality dry food, wellbeloved, purina pro plan or royal canine & wet food, such as wiskers oh so range or asdas new high meat content food.

Cheap bits of fish, sometimes liver. Horrid stuff canned. See here. http://www.canine-epilepsy-guardian-angels.com/Pet_Food_API.htm

It's a myth that dried food is good for the teeth. It can actually stick inbetween the teeth and rot there. Furthermore, cats need to increase their water intake, yet even upping the water intake, isn't enough, especially compared to wet food or even their natural food (mice, rabbits & birds).

If a cat will eat eat raw steak, feeding it thin strips will help clean the teeth of debris.

There are many high meat content cat foods, Tesco's finest is good. Also, the cats generally need less food due to this high protein. However, an excellent wet food is Butchers Classic. It hasn't a high meat content, but it dosen't contain any soya. My cat is 16 yrs old with diabetes and I feed her this food along with other higher meat content brands.

Hopefully you will find a brand your cat will enjoy.

My cat used to eat the Aldi cat food ... it was 19p a foil tray and although I can't recall offhand the exact percentage of meat, I remember being very impressed at how high a percentage it was.

She loved it for over a year then decided cats called Snowy like Felix .. she hasn't quite grasped the "money saving" idea yet ... !!
