Bozita wet cat food

paddypaws101

One can per day!! I have 2 fatties and 2 skinnies so the skinnies will get a sneaky extra spoon full or raw treat when they ask. I have never been particularly strict about portions and honestly I am not starving them but I do feel that the better quality food fills them up as well as taking them longer to eat.

Crikey!

My two have now had the third quarter of the pack and are demanding more. They had had other food this morning though, and having fet them, they do NOT need more so I'm horrid and they are trying sulking and flirting alternately o convince me to feed them.

I'm a bit worried the bozita might not satisfy them at the rate I had wanted to feed at _pale_

ETA:

ok, with my gutso but seemingly full bellied cats still begging (and now having had two other food pouches today too) I decided I had mis remembered feeding amounts. And yes, I most certinly have!
Manufacturer's recommended feeding amounts per cat in g/day:

Weight of Cat Amount in g / Day
1 kg 110
2 kg 230
3 kg 340
4 kg 450
5 kg 570
6 kg 680

My cats weigh: just over 3.5 kilos for the smaller, and just under 4.5 kilos for the larger, and they are generally very active, muscular cats. Each tera pack of bozita is 370gr, so crudely measured, it looks like TWO tetra packs a day is what I need to feed the gutsos! I'm interested they told me this, in volume its far more than they'd normally eat.

Right well, I muct hav calulate for only one of them when ordered (poor forgotten cat!) so, at least we know its popular and worth ordering more!

So, anyone else hoping that the low feeding volumes some are getting is the key, it doesn't seem it will prove universally so!

I have two cats who are both approx 6kg (and certainly not overweight), they've been eating Bozita cartons all their adult life now.

I give them a 1/4 of a carton each for breakfast (1/4 of a carton is pretty much equivalent to one normal pouch), they then have another 1/4 of a carton each for dinner so I get through 1 carton per day, the equivalent of 4 pouches. I also leave a bowl of good quality biccies down to munch on 24/7, there's always biccies left at the end of the day so they're not overeating.

They don't have any problems eating the second Bozita meal of the day straight from the fridge either!

Now.....Bozita cartons or tins? Tins are better value I think?

~x~

Yeah I think tins work out as 22p per 100g & Cartons at 26p per 100g if you're buying them from Zooplus.
I ordered some yesterday - hope my kitties enjoy it!

and jelly or pate? shame they dont sell a variety pack but only 6x each flavour

I think the tins are a completely different texture/type to the cartons, so worth getting a few of each to see which type your cat likes. The cartons are jelly in chunks and every single flavour is wolfed down in my house, the pate cartons were given the big paws down here and just nibbled at!

This is what we do too but we have 2 3.5mth old kittens, not sure what they weigh at the moment though

We buy the cartons because they are cheaper at seapets than zooplus and are also sold in individual cartons rather than packs so can buy exactly what we need.

I would always take manufacturers' feeding guides with a pinch of salt (they're in the business of selling it to you remember)

I can also categorically state that neither of my cats would physically be able to eat the volume of food they're suggesting!

400g = 4 average size pouches - mine eat half a pouch each plus approx 30g of good quality dry food per day!

I've not yet tried the Bozita but I'm very tempted especially now I've decided to let my girls have a wet food breakfast almost every morning now

They're currently lapping up the HiLife Ocean & Poultry collections as I managed to get several boxes of 12 x 100g pouches for £4.99 each this week

Also the companies don't take the fact you feed them dry food into consideration. If I were doing wet food only I need to feed them a carton of Bozita each per day instead of half a carton each spread over 2 meals that they currently get. Same with dry my pack of dry food says that a 7kg chunky cat needs 95g of dry a day (he isn't fat he's just big built the vet informs me) but he would only get half that as he gets wet food as well.

I haven't tried the tins though I got the cartons so that they fit in the bin easier. I had the turkey pate but it ended up feeding the cats at the CPL as my boys seem to have an aversion to pate type foods. Most likely as they seem to prefer moving the food from the plate to the floor and then eating it and its easier to do this with chunks :rolleyes:
