You can also get a horse bedding from Tractor Supply for about the same price.

So I've started by mixing PurinaHairball with the Blue Buffalo to make it stretch longer.I'm also going to start to cook up some meat for them as a supplement. :-)Buddy LOVES roast beef! Weird right?Cat litter, I go to Sam's (or Costco, depends on where you live) and get the 50 lb bag of clay cat litter for $7 and mix it with the "nicer" clumpinglitter. It still works great and it stretches the good stuff further.I don't know anything about reverse mortgages, I just bought my first house (I'm 23) about a hear ago. Having special needs cats is difficult when moneyis tight and I'm just starting out on my own. --Katy On Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 10:38 PM, <[email protected]> wrote:My pride is on Blue Buffalo "DUCK". For some reason, they do not likechicken no matter what brand of food. Occassionaly, I get them someMackeral canned for humans and they love it, broth only. Why they don't eat the meat I don't know. It seems that the stronge the smell, the better they like it. Salmon also turns them off. Turkey is so so. Beef is also so so. Saw a food the other day that is buffalo meat, thought I might try it. Do know one thing, these healthy foods are breaking the bank. 7 cats go thru 2bags a month (x $33.00 per bag.I have found a cheaper source of litter. They like World's Best which is made from corn. I can cut cost more by buying horse bedding made fromcoursely ground corn and corn cobs. Doesn't work too good with thescoopers, but does the job of stopping odor and clumps well enough. Things are getting tight, money wise and am going back to work at 70 as soon as I get a job of some kind. SS does not cut it when heating bills go up and insurance costs are added in. Has anyone had experience with reverse mortgagees? Been thinking about that. At least it would keep the cats andI in our home. ---- Christiane Biagi <[email protected]> wrote:They aren't thrilled w.

I fed her that at first and aftershe got past her starvation mode,(a time when she was grateful foranything to eat), she would not eat it as well. I switched to the MeowMix shredded with gravy and they all love that. I tried feeding myother cats the "healthy stuff" as well and they tried to cover it uplike it was a bowel movement..LOL.Amber will eat cooked chicken but my other cats won't eat anything butcat 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 brandas well, but it not really a "healthy" brand... It is not cheap in price though.

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 acouple of hundred cans of tuna at39 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 by6 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. Samewith hamburger.
