The ferals at my Mom's prefer Purina dry + whatever treats I come up
with. I suspect that foods without a lot of artificial coloring would
be best. My two boys like the Purina but they get is more as a treat
than a regular food. No matter what you feed, please keep a close eye
for recalls.

xcept
9-Lives (which is not the worst food in the world).

Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Cat Foof
I have found that my cats, even Amber my felv cat does not care for
the more
"expensive/healthy" food. I fed her that at first and after she got
past her
starvation mode,(a time when she was grateful for anything to eat),
she
would not eat it as well. I switched to the Meow Mix shredded with
gravy and
they all love that. I tried feeding my other cats the "healthy
stuff" as
well and they tried to cover it up like it was a bowel movement..LOL.
Amber will eat cooked chicken but my other cats won't eat anything
but cat
food.
I aree with supplementing their junk food cat food with real meat if
you can
get them to eat it. I am feeding Amber the Fancy Feast brand as
well, but
it not really a "healthy" brand... It is not cheap in price though.

You may want to supplement what ever food you chose with chicken,
ground
beef or tuna. 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.

What kind of food do you feed your cats?
I was feeding the Blue Buffalo and I really liked it, but it is
getting too expensive because of my furlough days at work.
I'm looking for something affordable but still good for cats that
are
FeLV+.
Thanks,
