if you look at the back of the pack, there is no more meat content in this than there is in tescos own brand, only tesco is 'normally' cheaper. Not great for your cat either way but cheap and a good offer if thats what you can afford and choose to feed

Our cats are super fussy, one only eats super cheap pouches, the other only eats James wellbeloved dry food!

Watch the one on the dried food as an entirely dry food diet for a cat can cause serious kidney damage.....
Favourites for ours is fresh raw chicken & buying the breasts in bulk is cheaper than cat food....topped up with a few biscuits for the extra vitamins they need

I cant even afford to eat fresh chicken everyday let alone feed it to a pet who is happy to eat out bins
who would of thought a deal on cat food could turn into a debate about how healthy your cat is !

I'm currently stocking up on Felix As Good as it Looks / Doubly Delicious from Morrisons. One of my fostered cats will only eat this and the 12 pouch boxes are 2 for £5, which seems a great deal.

I still find it hard to believe the Felix catchphrase is "As good as it looks". Seriously, that good?

it's the best price at the moment saw it on Sunday and got 12 boxes as one of my cats only eats Felix as good as it looks

Because cats don't drink water or ever feel thirsty...... :wink:
I don't see how chicken breast is cheaper than a decent cat food but to me £5 per kg of chicken is the cheapest I can get.

Good price. My cat is on a dry diet with meat. But gets a pouch once in a while as a treat so these packs last me ages.

I get 10kg of skinned chicken breasts for £20 from my butcher...so that's £2/kg.......my cat eats around 150 grams per meal so it works out around 29p per serving

It is a scientifically proven problem, we have been advised twice by different vets that it is an issue. A cat should be able to get all the liquids they need from their food without needing to drink at all.
A quick search of any pet food website regarding the moisture content of most dry cat foods will tell you that they are generally only 8 to 10% moisture. Cats fed a dry diet exclusively are at a significant water deficit compared to cats eating a natural diet. They are only consuming about 12 to 15% of their ideal daily water intake in their food. You may think that the cat can make it up by drinking more water, but cats innately have a low thirst drive, as they evolved to eat prey consisting of so much moisture
Feline urine tends to be more concentrated than urine of other mammalian species. This is one reason that the urine of intact male cats has such a strong odor.¹¹ The fact that cats produce such highly concentrated urine, especially when fed low moisture foods such as kibble, makes them more susceptible to urinary crystals and stones and to urinary bladder irritation, a contributing factor to Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease or FLUTD. Basic chemistry tells us that the more concentrated a solution is, and in this case the solution is urine, the more likely any solutes are to precipitate out and form crystals and stones. The more concentrated the urine is, the more likely it is that it may irritate the delicate lining of the urinary bladder.
