I've never known cats to eat any of those. Potatoes? Apple and carrot?

Many brand of cat foods have those ingrediants in them. There's a lot worse out there including whiskas, felix, supermarket brands etc.

Our cat gets mainly the wet food now with a small amount of the dry which I'm happy with. She enjoys it.

There are loads of different cat foods listed in the replies so hoping you have went though them all to check the ingrediants

My cat does actually enjoy carrot and apple. Nothing wrong with variety!

The AATU dry food is complete - though they don't eat loads of it. One of them in particular wolfed the JWB stuff and was turning into a little fatty.

We have a Lidl locally so I'll go in there to see what the ingredients are. I'll also look at Natures Menu, Miamor, Lily's Kitchen, Applaws, Animonda and Feringa. Our mogs aren't fussy, so perhaps I'll just put them all on rotation buying whatever's on offer. :rotfl:

Ours is mainly raw fed, we often make our own, although we do sometimes buy natural instinct.

Mosr encore/applaws wet is complementary and should make up no more than 15-20% of the diet.

Some good wets below, most reasonably priced with a few more expensive ones.
Bozita tins
Grau
Animonda carny
Feringua (the non-veg tins)
Smilla
Catz finefood
Macs
Granatapet
Om nom nom
Ropocat
Tundra
Taste of the wild
Butchers (orange tins/trays)

In fairness, if it were actually left up to domestic cats to sort their own catering arrangements, their food would consist of toxacara infested mice and baby rats, unlucky fledglings, the occasional baby rabbit, spiders, flies and irate moths, all washed down with green pond water and a plant/grass based digestif (the new plants emerging in the herb garden are particular favourites at present, carrot tops later in the season). Unless they can get their paws upon unattended cereal bowls, lumps of cheese, tinned mackerel in tomato sauce, stolen chips from the bag brought home from the chip shop and roast potatoes or broccoli covered in Bisto gravy.


I think giving them something that doesn't consist almost entirely of corn or wheat and has 75% animal derived ingredients is a distinct improvement upon either option.

Lol

This is so true

And what is it about dirty water they love??? All the books and websites tell you how important it is that fresh water is to be available at all times that I was changing the water 3 times a day, and as soon as he started going out, he drank from the birdbath and any pot that was filled with water no matter how stagnant :rotfl:
