Just stocked up in my local tesco in Irlam. Works out 12p a pouch. Bargain! Normally pay about £2.50 for 12 tesco cat food pouches. Maybe national

"They will behave better" - any evidence for that? They're cats after all, they pretty much do what they want. :smiley:
You know what else is abuse? Not feeding the thousands of starving animals that need homes. This food is more than adequate for any animal and contains enough meat and protein. Wet food is 80% water anyway.
The best food for an animal is one you can afford and one they will eat. No need to guilt trip or talk down to people who don't feed the same food as you.
Might be worth buying just to chuck in that donate to a cat shelter cage they have near the exit. Wish they had one for dogs too though.

That cat food makes my cats' poo absolutely noxious. Or it would if they ate it anymore but they'd literally rather starve. Imagine if you lived off 12p meals, do you think it would be good quality?
Seriously. Stop feeding your poor cats such an excuse for food. Start paying £10 a week for James Wellbeloved/Lily's Kitchen/Green Pantry/Canagan and your cats will adore you, their fur will be a million times softer, they will smell nice, they will behave better. Feeding cats supermarket food that contains about 0.1% meat is animal abuse IMO. Not joking.

Thankfully my cat poos outside so I don't have to deal with the poo, she is well looked after, but there's not a chance I'd pay £10 a week for cat food! She gets our left over chicken and fish during the week so I'm sure that ups her meat intake to adequate

If my cat could speak and tell me which it prefers then we would know which it prefers, but they cant
How do you know your cat prefers the more expensive meats? You dont
My cat is picky and wont eat the expensive stuff, put some tesco or aldi stuff in front of her and she goes mental at it, go figure lol

Wow , there's a rant and a half. Just because this food is on offer at the moment, it isn't usually 12p a pouch, so that argument is rather redundant. Let's also not assume that if someone feeds their cat on this brand of food they don't use any others, I for one like to give my cat a wide range of food. However I don't think that always has to be the most expensive and to suggest so is rather demeaning to those who do the best they can. I too am rather disappointed to see the exceptionally low % of fish/meat in our pet foods, however lets also acknowledge that even when the % is higher the quality used is sometimes questionable. If you seriously consider feeding a cat a supermarket pet food abuse, I strongly suggest you get down to your local cat protection league / RSPCA and get an education in this matter ( and yes we have volunteered for the CPL in the past so have seen far worse than cats being fed a food that you don't like) OK my rant over now.

Except that our food is too salty and sugary for cats so no, that does not make up for the slime you're feeding your cat. I'm not having a go at you specifically, I just hate how uninformed cat owners are. "There's not a chance I'd pay £10 a week for cat food!" is how the majority of cat owners feel but why? Why get a cat in the first place if you're not prepared to give it the best care that you can? You wouldn't have a baby and then feed it the cheapest dirt imaginable, why is a cat different? lol
Cats are precious creatures, if you love your cat please try one of the brands I've mentioned. Even if you don't love your cat, you probably will after you start feeding it real food. It's not £10 a week if you buy in bulk online and it's worth every penny. I'm 23 and can't afford £10 a week on cat food but I find a way to afford it because I really don't accept the alternative, which is to feed them pouched poison like Whiskers and god forbid, Purina.

I'm not talking down or guilt tripping anyone, I'm educating :laughing: you're welcome:
"any evidence for that? cat's do what they want" - Yeah they do what they want but they can still be trained like any other animal. I don't have the time or resources to do a study and I can't be bothered to look on Google for one so just trust me (or don't but) diet is relevant to behaviour. Maybe especially so for Cat's because after being neutered, food is one of very few pleasures in life for cats.
"you know what else is abuse? not feeding starving animals that need homes". I'm really not sure what your argument here is? Was that just a string of random words? Are you saying that you can't buy good quality cat food because you donate all your money to shelters? If so, fine, I'm only trying to inform, you can prioritise your money however you like. Other cats over your cats. That's fine. I don't have the answer to worldwide hunger and homelessness. :confused: confused.
"this food is more than adequate for any animal" - yeah, you could eat it. Why don't you? Because it's disgusting. It might keep you alive (barely) but it is disgusting and your life would not be the same. My point is, we could eat a 12p pouch of slop for every meal of the day, it might keep us alive but it wouldn't be a life worth living. We choose to pay more for better quality food for ourselves, so why not your cat? Why should your cat be victim to your cheapskatery?
