    Four pouches a day? Our fully grown cat doesn't eat that much.

    Cat milk is a con, it's there to fleece the stupid. There's nothing special about it. Give the moggy water.

    Give him a complete food instead of pouches and died food. We give ours Oscar Premium Agility. A bag costs £9 and lasts a cat a month. There's no need to give them anything else other than that.

    And as for not eating tinned food...just put tinned food out. If he won't eat it, take it away and present it again later. Believe me, when he's hungry enough, he'll eat it. You're just catering to his fussiness. We ended up with a poodle from an old lady which apparently wouldn't eat dog biscuits. That lasted all of 2 days and now it doesn't care.


    We have a 3 month old kitten and he too has four pouches(which is the reccomended amount ) a day and biscuits .when he was first weaning we were adviced to give kitten milk but he just has water now.

    Yes, but recommended by whom? If you look at the recommended amounts on any type of pet food they're often at least twice what's needed. Don't forget, the manufacturers are trying to sell you more pet food!

    I actually sort information from a vet not the back of a pet food packet

    I can see what Conor & Oldernotwiser are saying, as when we had our cat I don't think she cost £15 a month in food, never mind £15 a week, even as a kitten (if she'd cost £15pw, her chances of becoming my Dad's next pair of gloves would have been very high :eek:). Animals will be fussy about their food as long as they know there's an alternative choice available. Given the choice between going hungry & eating what's provided, they'll eat what's in front of them, & I don't think it would hurt the kitten to teach it some DFW ways - you can't maintain a Tiffany lifestyle on Elizabeth Duke pockets. :)

    Anyway, it's not really whether we think it's a reasonable cost or not that matters, it's whether the OR will allow it that counts. Lisa, if that's what the kitten costs then that's what it costs, but I think you should be prepared for the OR to question it, as £60pm is a lot of money for one cat. Even if the OR doesn't question that particular cost, if he decides to limit the expenses on your SOA generally (as he did with Neko), you may have to cut back on other things in order to keep the kitten in the manner it's become accustomed to. Are you prepared to do that? If not, it might be wise to get the kitten used to a cheaper diet now. :)
