Please watch Apple on Take Me Out The Gossip this Saturday night :)
 
Lol :D

He looks very very similar to TC! :eek:

Regarding pooping :p Sprite sometimes like to do a poo in the opposite corner of where the litter tray is (completely clean litter as well) :rolleyes:

But apart from that, both are of them are very good, TC goes outside so does his business somewhere in the neighbours gardens :D :p And if it is pouring/very windy he'll use the tray.
 
So, here's Jess*. Got her from a shelter on Saturday, she's settling in quite well.

Just a food query really - currently she's on Felix because that's what she had at the shelter, but I know it's really not the best thing to be giving her. I understand that if you aren't going to go the whole way with raw feeding that Applaws is pretty good? And chicken or fish, or isn't there a difference? She hasn't seemed very interested in chicken flavours.

* That's the name that the shelter gave her, and whilst it's pretty predictable for a black and white cat, I can't see any real reason to change it.

Applaws iirc is only a complementary food and should only be given on occasion. It's also not raw.

Do some google searching about it and you should find some good info.

I've always fed my cats a raw diet so if you have ant Qs just let me know here.
 
Here is my kitty - Vader. He's just arrived on the weekend from Australia. Was a champ on the flight, no problems at all. We haven't seen him in 8 months due to trouble getting him over here but he was so happy to see us..

What are good high quality complete foods?

Sadly, somewhat limited from UK supermarkets and pet stores.

Hi-Life Essentialsis one of them, but annoyingly they have recently "improved" their recipe, so now it is 85g pouches with 50% meat, whereas before it was 100g pouches with 60% meat. Still way better than Felix/Whiskas/etc.

Toplife is a somewhat new range that Asda have started doing, and it is very similar to the European brand Bozita.

Alternatively, you can look in to the Euro food range on Zooplus.co.uk, with Animonda Carny, Bozita, and Smilla being the general recommendations.

He prefers a lid or not? They are both now covered, but that was done a few weeks back, was sick of sweeping up litter

Now Snoopy was a bugger with her litter tray when we first got her - throwing litter all over the kitchen floor, the little madam!

I ended up going to Pets@Home and got this. The lip of the tray clips off so you can clean it properly, but she cant kick her litter everywhere :)

She has never been a fan of 'going in' things - boxes with lids or under the covers so a covered litter tray would never be an option for her

I get Bozita for Dex, its fairly cheap from Zooplus and seems decent enough quality! I also give him Applaws as dry food.

Just did a massive order from there too, so now have about 60 cartons of cat food stacked in a cupboard! :D

Isn't Natural Instinct food supposed to be good as well?

Yep, it's what I feed almost exclusively, but the person asking had limited freezer space, so it isn't an option.

yeh the best (because its clean raw) my cats are on it at the mo, but to be honest might go back to amonida because they always seem to be hungry despite the fact that your supposed to feed them less because its better for them.

I'm finding their feeding recs a bit hit and miss, but the 5-6% of bodyweight rule for kittens works at the moment, Winston is 4kgs and gets through 250g of NI a day. So that's around £1.30 a day to feed, but I think it's worth it for the non-smelly poos alone.
 
What posh, spoilt cats you guys have :p

Echo eats and loves plain old Whiskas... As long as it's not the jelly variety. Has to be gravy :D

He gets a pouch in the morning and a pouch in the evening, and he has Whiskas biscuits available all the time in another bowl.

It's not about being spoilt, it's about not feeding your cats mcdonalds everyday of it's life.
