They are now outdoor cats and thats works for all of us ;)

The grey was the main culprit and I moved her outside straight away, then the black (daughter) started doing it as well.

Mother and Daughter HATE each other now...cats!!

Here is a place you can order all-natural European style pet food mix, a grain mix that you mix with meat or other stuff.

Here is a place you can get freeze dried salmon cubes or chicken livers for your kitties.

These places were recommended by a book called Cat Be Good, and although I haven't tried them yet, I very well might.

Mine get James Wellbeloved dried food in the mornings - it contains the least additives of any I can buy within walking distance of my flat. I'm not happy about the carbohydrate content though (most of the varieties are something-and-rice).

In the evenings they get raw meat and bones, often chicken these days as I no longer work near the market in order to vary it as much as I should.

Trouble is, one of my cats likes to sit and watch the other eat, and if I feed them a reasonable amount for 2, 1 gets 2/3 of it. Neither is fat (they are SO active) but it worries me that my carefully balanced menu is being tinkered with. I've taken to hand feeding Dylan in the living room, but he only likes titbits (scraps of cooked meat or cheese etc). Once I've got his attention I hand him some raw meat and like as not he'll drop it and wander off to watch Diz. He does like raw meat and bones - he'll unfortunately drag whatever is leftover around the flat and eat it in front of me (not great if I've decided I want to go and read in bed).

Cat trial this weekend! Taking the boys to London to meet my soon-to-be housemate's cat. I may have some photos of very sorry cats next week...

Four, count them, four cats......and we feed them nothing but leftover Chinese.

Fairly elderly lady cat, 13 years,rescued after two years living rough, with a gastric stricture so she can't digest dry or lumpy food, and sadly minus almost all her teeth lives on fresh fish steamed and then mashed with Cat Milk. She is in wonderful shape and loves life.

I used to feed my Border Collie / Cocker Spaniel dry Eukanuba but since the pet food contamination, and because Eukanuba was on the list of "Possibles", I switched her back to her old brand, Pedigree (Dry)

What's in your pet food?
 
Long, informative, and pretty nauseating article on the pet food industry:

What's Really in Pet Food

Credit for this article goes to the Animal Protection Institute. Pretty good site, too, with tips for choosing commercial food, and sample homemade recipes.

I predict good money-making opportunities for small-batch, boutique pet food.

Hmm. I wonder how hard it would be to get into that?
