[Felvtalk] Cat Foof
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+.

Re: [Felvtalk] Cat Foof
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. On Mar 28, 2011, at 7:08 AM, Katy Doyle wrote: And that subject is supposed to be cat food... Typos!

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.

Re: [Felvtalk] Cat Food
I can not emphasize this enough. The very best food for your cat is the food s/he will eat. Our perception of what a good food is and a cat's is usually polar opposites. I feed the highest quality food mine will eat. Right now that happens to be the Fancy Feast pate styles - they are grain free and mine love them. For now anyway.

Re: [Felvtalk] Cat Foof
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!

Re: [Felvtalk] Cat Foof
Very true. I have to keep pumpkin and probiotics on hand for the ferals. And hope they eat most of their meals at Mom's. Unfortunately they roam and there is nothing I can do about that. We TNR those who hang around and have managed to bring some inside but there are too many and Mom is too fragile for any more inside cats. At this stage, she has to pay someone to clean the litter box and feed the ferals when I am not around.

[Felvtalk] Time to step down from rescuing for a time being.
Hi all, I'm taking some time off from rescue due to my husband's illness. He has liver failure and is not a candidate for a transplant. He has been hospitalized2 times this monthand once last month he was placed into a skill nursing facility since the 18th of February after the first trip to the hospital. He is in the end final stage of his disease his liver has stopped working. Can die at any given time. He is being given all the pain meds he wants for comfort so he will most likely fall asleep an never wake up again. I want to make myself available at all times for him. He is only 64 years old... I know to some of you that may sound old but it isn't really. Hospice has been part of this as well to help me cope with all of this.Hospice isavailable to me 24 hours a day.

Re: [Felvtalk] Cat Foof
When I can, I keep back fatty pieces of chicken and whatever else. They get put into bags and used in soup when the cats need to gain weight for cold weather. A neighbor gave me lots of butter from the bottom of his freezer and I will add that too. This winter I put a snuggle safe under the water bowl to keep it from freezing as fast. They deerve any help we can give them. The ones who have come in have been the most wonderful companions. The ones who haven't are wonderful, brave, smart cats who just don't want to live with a person or haven't had the opportunity. One sadness is that so many have left.

Re: [Felvtalk] Time to step down from rescuing for a time being.
Terrie You have my deepest sympathy and certainly my prayers will be with you and your husband. Sixty-four is young, these days and in this country. I'm sure you are correct -- he'll be kept comfortable for the remainder of his days. You are probably already spending precious time with him rather than reading this. Please also take care of yourself -- as you know, you are going through tremendous stress. I lost my mom in November and was with her when she passed. It is difficult, but I was so glad to be there with her. May you and your husband be enveloped in the light of love.
