I was ordering from Smalls. It was costing me approximately $9 per day for my two kitties. One of my kitties got a bacterial infection in it's gall bladder. Not sure if it was the food or something else. She is only 1.5 years old and cost a mini fortune to hospitalized her, medicines, IVs, ultrasounds, bloodwork etc. I've decided to ween the kitties off Smalls to tinned catfood, which is cheaper per day. I've tried Raw Instincts. My older kitty does not care for the Rabbit formula (throws up everywhere), but like the original and salmon. I'm going to try Tiki Cat since those have more crude protein. We'll see how it goes. I still have a few Smalls bars which I'll feed the older kitty until I run out.

Not gonna lie, I've consider trying one or two of these out when we're in a better spot financially. I know in the long run going raw is probably cheaper, but the upfront of a grinder and storage is offputting presently. Our side by side fridge freezer barely holds our needs and their treats that need thawing . . .I don't have space to properly store homemade serverings + the extra leftover organ meet and such.

My cats are so carb addicted that they hate any new food I bring in. One cat is obese and the other is so picky. She will eat maybe a tsp of canned cat food at a time. It is very frustrating trying to get them off dried cat food. I did get them the Dr. Elsey's dried cat food just to increase their protein and lower the carbs, but my obese cat just does not lose weight and now I think he has diabetes.

Although I live in the UK this was interesting to watch. What I have found though is that cats are carnivorous and shouldn't be eating plants etc, so I actually have stuck to ordering normal cat meat from a company that don't use plant based ingredients to make it as close to a natural diet as I can for them, there food has 5 ingredients in it. Meat,meat,meat,taurine and natural flavouring. Although natural flavours isn't specific to what it is, it's last on the ingredients, so has the least in and the food is still better than most others without feeding a raw food diet.

I just found this channel through old posts! I know this isn't the place, but how do I stop my spayed cat from spraying? She's grieving the loss of her and my BFF, Loki. Her grieving is attack my cat Esme more, And make everywhere her territory. Lil Napoliana. Anyway, I'm desperate. If anyone here has advice or can point me to a video, I'd be so grateful. She's even started spraying the walls, behind the cat castle. It's effecting my relationship, as well.

I used smalls and my cats ate it the first time but when the second shipment came they just wouldn't touch it and I had to give it away. I think it's because they get tired of the same thing and so it is hard to stay in a subscription when every month I have to switch it up. And one of my cats will not eat lunch if it's the same thing she ate for breakfast, she just turns her head up and looks at you and walks off.

Some cats just seem to prefer variety. I find it a little strange there's the big insistance that cat's stomaches are so sensitive they should eat one food and one food only. Maybe that's true for some. . .but I doubt as many as people claim. I at least try to give our two boys different flavors of things. . .and they get tid bits of our proteins when I cook and any variety of healthy treat I can find them. . .they don't typically turn their nose up at the variety. If anything, they seem excited by it.

What about Feline Natural? That's what I've been feeding our two. They prefer the lamb feast and lamb and king salmon. They don't seem to like the chicken or beef. It is also expensive but the ingredients are very high quality and species appropriate. I will also shake some of their freeze dried food on top of the wet food for additional texture and nutrition.

So my cats like really like Just Food For Cats and My Perfect Pet both Turkey and Beef. They don’t like Raised Right and when I tried Smalls I wasn’t having much luck convincing my cats to like it. But they have improved their foods. But then I don’t like Canola oil and the subscription obligation. My Perfect Pet I buy from a boutique in La Jolla, CA called Bella Woof. I have 2 cats and I actually find the food very expensive with only 10 bars in a $36.00 bag. So I only feed it to my cats a few times a week for dinner. Once or twice a week only they get Just Food for Cats because it’s very fishy and I don’t want my cats addicted to it. The rest of the time my cats get a mix of canned foods and Simple Food Project freeze dried raw and limited amounts of dry food.

@loretta_3843 Жыл бұрын

I'm doing my weekly/fortnightly cat food shop tomorrow and I was thinking about getting just a pack of minced beef they have for human consumption to add to my cat's meals. I heard you say it was disappointing that one of the brands didn't have meat from organs so I was wondering if adding something like mince is a good idea? (Sorry, I think you say "ground" rather than "minced" in the US!)

@AllAboutCatsYT Жыл бұрын

Hi Loretta! I wouldn't recommend buying pre-ground (or minced!) food for your cat. Because it's made for human consumption, the expectation is that this food will be cooked before it's eaten, and the processing equipment is maintained with that in mind. This means that it's more likely to be contaminated. You're right that it's good to fortify your cat's food with some organs and varied meats, but perhaps a pack of fresh gizzards and/or a little bit of liver would be a safer choice. Hope this helps!

Good information but unsure my cat would eat human grade cat food. So picky..Vet recommended UR diet but she's not wanting to eat that, either so I give her regular wet food but the UR dry food and treats. Hopefully this works well enough to dissolve that tiny stone. Are these foods more acidic than regular cat food like UR diet cat food? My cat is 15 so that explains some of this.

@AllAboutCatsYT Жыл бұрын

They are more acidic than a lot of plant-heavy traditional foods, but they're not specifically formulated for cats with urinary issues. Nonetheless, I suspect that a higher-moisture, lower-plant diet would go a long way in helping to support urinary tract health. Regarding palatability, I will say that most cats love human-grade, fresh food-if she likes table scraps, she'll like these. Wishing you all the best!

Ridiculous . I am also with the other person in this thread: what if your cat loves gravy/ what do u do?? Im still feeding my cat wellness & nulo- both he loves . Happy memorial day !!!!

Hi Sergio. Smalls definitely has had some issues with fulfillment and customer service, but my recent deliveries have been better, so I wanted to give them a second chance. There isn't really a good solution for gravy lovers in this category; maybe adding some broth would work, but I've not found anything that really satisfies that texture need.

Hey, Mallory here. To be clear, this isn't just me. Cats.com is a publication like any other, producing educational cat content in a range of mediums and places, including a website and this KZfaq channel. We work with a variety of cat experts and industry leaders to share insights on cat topics, and no single contributor (myself included) should or wants to be seen as "the" sole voice for/on cats. There's no deception or pretense here. It's just a job, no different from any other media or education-focused role. I hope this clears things up a little.
