            We're raw feeders mostly. Butchers tinned cat food is grain free and just "meat".
We use it occasionally as a back up.1 - 
            It depends what you mean by inexpensive. AVA and Hi Life are both high in meat/fish, but are cheaper than Lily's Kitchen.Hi Life works out cheaper if you buy it in a box of 36.0

AVA is only 26% at the most, Hi Life is better. I think I'll go for Butcher's mentioned above. It's 50% - far better than the usual 4% with grain.Silvertabby said:It depends what you mean by inexpensive.

            I feed Bozita from Zooplus. This is a link to the Bozita website, which gives detailed nutritional information https://www.bozita.com/cat-food/feline-taste/ and this is the Zooplus website https://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/cats/canned_cat_food_pouches/bozitaThere are other high-quality foods on their site, but I thought this one the most cost-effective.M x

            There is a thread from 2009 very similar to this which recommends ASDA Tiger as they do indeed have a meat content in the region of 40% even in the fish varieties (e.g. 38% meat +4% salmon) but do please AVOID THE POUCHES if you possibly can. Based on the Whiskas that we have always used (similar meat content), pouches are twice the money for essentially the same product, but the empty pouches of course go straight to landfill (our nearest public collection point is 13 miles away!!). We just feed a quarter can per meal instead of a pouch. But anyone on MSE is smart enough to have worked this out already...

            I'm sure Bozita used to be high meat content, but now shows as low? Is the site messed up eg wrong ingredients? I've looked at getting that for mine

            I just switched to Asda's tiger brand. High meat content and my cats, 5 of, love it.0
