I always use tuna or mackerel for trapping cats or having them eat their meds - great disguise! I think it's OK to use fish once in a while, as long as it's not the only diet, especially for male cats. It's a great idea to add cooked meats to the canned food, but you have to start slowly so that you don't upset their tummies. Anytime one changes food, it should be done by mixing small portion of new with the old, and slowly increasing the proportion until the desired amount or total change is achieved. Cats' tummies have to get their enzymes working for new foods, or else there could be some "runs"! BTW - Nicker's Biocoat is a very good supplement, biotin. http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=30e070fa-7b6a-11d5-a192-00b0d 0204ae5

I've been able to get whole chicken at 69 or 79 cents a pound near the end of sell by date and recently picked up a couple of hundred cans of tuna at 39 cents each. When you figure out the per pound price you are paying a lot less than cat food and using all of the product. Before anyone jumps on me, the tuna is for putting meds in and is usually divided by 6 cats or by 2 cats and a dog. I would never feed it entirely. I can feed 7 cats and a dog for 3-4 days with a whole chicken. Same with hamburger. On Mar 28, 2011, at 7:08 AM, Katy Doyle wrote: > And that subject is supposed to be "cat food"...
