[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 4308443, member: 45551"] I'm not sure I'm the person you should ask. 🤣🤣🤣 Here's the deal -- cats need a lot, A LOT!!! of moisture in their diet. Left to their own devices they will die from dehydration WAY quicker than malnutrition. So ... I kinda feed my cats different than most people. They all get a can of wet food a couple, three times a day. The kind with the gravy in it because Harvey is a picky **** and tried to starve himself to death (honestly. He is skin and bones but he is getting better.) but I would mix it up between the pate type and the gravy with the shredded up meat stuff in it. Feed a can every time you see the can empty, but change it out every 24 hours. If it's outside I think I'd change it every 12. Or take it up, put the leftovers in the fridge and then put it out 3-4 times a day. These cats LOVE the moist food that Snoop and Dawg get in the evenings but that's not nutritionally adequate for cats so while they get to have some, I don't feed it too them. Too bad because those big cans of dog food are WAY cheaper than these little cans of cat food. Dry food out all the time. Water out all the time. There ya go. (Sorry you asked, huh?? 🤣) Wet food: Friskies Gravy Pleasers or Pate Dry food: Meow Mix Wet dog food: Pedigree Dry dog food: Member's Mark Lamb and Brown Rice Recipe Right now, anyway. I am not attached to these brands. I generally buy whatever is on sale. That way my pets get a somewhat varied diet and learn that being picky doesn't work. (Well except for Harvey, anyway. He got so skinny I thought I was gonna have to take him in for treatment. I've never had a cat with an eating disorder before. 🤦🤦🤦 Oh! And about people food -- they ALL get to share with the chickens, so not a ton of it but again except for artificial sweeteners I don't keep anything from them. And it is amazing what cats will eat.
