    interesting how many people say cats like Felix, ours hates it. Will eat most types but has to have the brands rotated, no good buying loads of one brand as she goes off it. This applies to Whiskas, tesco, etc etc. Biscuits she is not fussy with although has never had anything but ob except once we tried something llike IAMS, no particular feelings about that. She prefers wet food.

    Okay, so if they're treats how come they're virtually indistinguishable from a complete pet food? (The ingredients are virtually identical, as shown above.)

    Let's face it: Mars are charging 7.5 times the price for an ordinary pet food. The cats aren't fooled, but the owners are -- this owner excepted of course :)

    My cat has a mixture of wet food and dry food - 1 pouch of wet food spread out over 3 intervals throughout the day and a ball of dry food that he can access whenever he wants. I've never found any that he doesn't like!

    As he's an indoor cat he has indoor cat biscuits. I've never seen a supermarket brand make indoor ones, so he's never had supermarket branded dry food. He used to have Whiskas, but the shop stopped selling it, so now he has Go Cat, which is cheaper, and he seems to like it just as much.

    As a kitten he always had Whiskas wet food in jelly. Now he's older we tend to buy whatever is good value. If Whiskas or Felix are on offer, then he has those. Otherwise he's had the Tesco premium, normal Tesco and Asda Tiger and he likes all of those. At the moment he has Kitekat as it was on offer, £5 for 24 pouches, and he seems to like that too.

    Dreamies and Felix goodies are also a big hit and never fail to bring out the purring!

    Bloody right, fussing over cats like this is, frankly, absurd....

    I never taught my cat to read so she doesn't care if its cheap or expensive. She prefers sardines (very cheap), cheap tuna, any reduced meat from supermarket eg liver for 20p and Wilkinson's sachets, which are some of the cheapest around.

    But best of all she loves free range rabbits which she catches in the field next door!!

    Hi may i just say that gocat and whiskas arent premium brands either there cheap and not very nutritional even my vet told me not to feed these foods its only expensive food thats premium like royal canin james well beloved iams puria one etc, my 5 cats love james well beloved its £14 for 2 kg but i normally buy when on offer or get 5 kg bag it lasts longer than youd expect also as its a more compact food you should try a premium food one day your cats wont walk away from it also cats need wet food as well as if there not drinking enough water they can develop urinary tract problems sorry if i sound like a vet lol i dont mean to , i researched cats for many years so have learnt alot ,lol i have subscribed

    My cats hate whiskas, never tried felix (& won't after reading how addictive it is!). They will happy eat tesco own, asda own and co-op own.
