    Good advice from Bettyspag.

    Most indoor diets are poor quality January20, they switch higher calorie fat for lower calorie and cheaper carbs (cereals/ grains). Sounds sensible until you consider that felines are obligate carnivores evolved to eat a low carb, high fat, high protein diet. Carbs are associated with a variety of health issues in cats and dogs, including certain urinary conditions and weight problems. :eek: Lulu is my second greedy, healthy sized indoor cat on a cereal free diet. My last boy lost fat and gained or maintained muscle whilst with me, to the point the vet commented on his condition the day he was PTS. Quite a few breeders (their cats are indoor or have a run) also either raw feed or use a grain free commercial food now.

    My flat is upper floor too, with a sheer drop to the pavement of a busy road, pigeon spikes on the level below. Any cat tormenting my Lulu would need wings and a death wish! :rotfl:
