My husband and I went out and bought the cats Felidae Cat and Kitten formula and also a bag of Raw Instinct (no grains) – they hate them both. They started eating them when we first brought them in but now won’t touch them. I eat a little of the Wellness – but most head for the Purina Indoor Formula. I have put out a buffet to see what they’ll eat but the healthy stuff is not being touched!

I just got back from the store, cat food shopping (sigh). I decided on Felidae Platinum dry and Felidae chicken & rice and chicken, turkey, lamb &fish canned food (which supposedly are NOT made at ANY menu foods plant). I also picked up a couple of cans of Merrick canned as well, to try (also on the list as NOT made by menu foods). Anyways... I just filled the bowl in the kitchen with the new dry food, and they were all sampling it, then Doobie walks over to the bag (which I had propped up against the wall with the front against the wall), and he is, no kidding here, looking dead straight at the ingredient list on the back of the bag... READING THE LABEL! I swear, if he's not reading the label, it's just too much of a coincidence! His nose was almost touching the very center of the ingredient list, LOL! Anyways, cuteness aside, they seem to like it OK, they aren't THRILLED, but they are all eating it. Downside, it's got fairly big bone shaped kibbles... and Tang has no teeth, so I'm not sure if he will be able to eat it very well (swallowing it whole may be a challenge). I'll let you guys know how the canned goes over later tonight at wet food dinner time. I really liked the ingredients in the Solid Gold canned, but it's beyond our reach financially. The Felidae wasn't bad really, the 16 pound bag was only $23. The canned I got was all they had in stock... small 5.5 OZ cans, at $0.89 a can, but they said they could order the big 13 OZ cans at $1.19 each. I can afford that. The ferals will probably remain on the healthwise dry food, Natura says it's made at their own plant, unlike their canned foods, so it should be fine. As bad as I hate supporting menu foods by buying from someone that uses them... the healthwise is really economical for as many wild animals as steals the feral's food.
