That is you opinion about royal canine, mine differs.
I however choose to inform about the what I feed without casting judgement on others choices.

I'm curious as to why you believe it to be a good quality food?

Cats are obligate carnivores, so should only consume animals, yet on the flavours I have seen the main ingredient is corn, in fact in most meat meal is the only animal product, this is skin etc with little nutritional value. Then you also have beet pulp etc, which just like corn and other carbs massively increase the chance of a cat suffering diabetes. This is before we consider the fact that cats on dry diets suffer long term low level dehydration which can lead to UTI, crystals, blockages and kidney problems.

There are cheap supermarket own brand dry foods that are better quailty than royal canin. For both nutritional value and kidney health any wet cat food that is complete is actually better for the cat, that isn't an opinion, but due to meat content and moisture content is actually a scientific fact if you look into a variety of independent studies in feline nutrition.

i know you could just use string, but this seems safer.

They seem to be quite happy with applaws! which is great, also using the zooplus website iv found some real bargains so thank you all so much!

One other question i have is what is the weird thing about that they keep seeming to do on my daughters furry rug?! it looks as though they are suckling it! really odd. lol
