bigbadbarry - 10 May 2005 17:41 GMT > I think Mary is wearing them > > > I'm blind, and can't find my teeth or the cat > > any ideas > > > > (please hurry Im getting hungry) ah...I found them, in the cat food bowl. I think Re-precht is trying to tell me something, like, You eat this nasty food lion crunchy food. Sooo Im going to upgrade him today.
Im thinking you ka new bah - or something over 6 dollars a bag...lol
Im thinking he will loose a smidgeon of weight ( i need to loose weight).. Im thinking he won't need as much volume to get the nutrition his body is calling for.
I read that skinny people live longer.

However, I do believe that canned is better for them. One thing you will find with the premium foods--I found this with SD--is that Ruprecht will poop less. Allegedly this is because they are using more of the food due to the quality.

I was thinking If I went all can, then he would not get the fiber or the tooth benefit. I guess canned food has fiber.
He's eaten at least 30 lbs of crunchy food since last Christmas.

I don't know about fiber, but I can tell you that when I began feeding it to my current cats their coats got shiny and they got friskier. Also--now that I have had Buddha on canned only, she is losing weight. She's a full figured girl.
> He's eaten at least 30 lbs of crunchy food since last Christmas. Wow! Does he like canned?
bigbadbarry - 10 May 2005 19:55 GMT > Wow! Does he like canned? Yes, but just not much of it.
I think he's still kinda living on that ladies back porch eating crunchy. So used to bolonga hard to give him a steak. (specially if i don't buy him one..lol) got him some new just now, will try it on him.
I'm really pushing the canned food, and leavin some sd out.
Fresh pics on the cam, buttercups, old porches and Ruprecht.

(specially if i > don't buy him one..lol) got him some new just now, will try it on him. Habit is tough to fight! Being a boy cat, he is more prone to urinary tract blockages, so you might want to get him on a primo food for that reason. I used to buy great big bags of SD. It was greasy and fishy smelling, but Gnarly loved it.

Oh yeah, I got him some earlier this am..haven't tasted it yet..I've left him some out (in his bowl)...now he's munchin on the canned food. I tried some beneful before, he wouldn't eat it / for 2 days he wouldn't eat, so I switched back.
I gave the 4 lbs of beneful to the little cats (little strays that traverse the nieghborhood looking for a crust of bread, they come in gangs). Now that I think about it, they probably eat as much as he does, because Ruprechts has to be 2 fingers deep before he will munch and every few days I dump his temporary food cache.

Beneful is dog food. Could be why he didn't eat it.

You can save quite a bit of money if you're really committed to their products.

bigbadbarry - 11 May 2005 02:53 GMT > I love how Ruprecht's page is coming along! He looks huge, how big is he? thaaanks...I might add a few more pics later on. He's such a cuddle bug.
I'd just say he's large, but not jumbo you know, when I first saw him, he struck me as long.
He seems pretty content, I would love to take him to the river, but he doesn't like to ride.
My neighbors joke about his size when they see him they call him a catdog.

:~| I'm standing in line at the drug store today, the lady asks can I help you... it took me a minute before I could talk, when I finally got my composure I said, "cat hair"...uh?, "I'm getting cat hair off my lips" To make it worse my eyes stay puffy red. I look like I've been doing bong hits or something. Im already look a little malnourished, dark around the eyes.

That makes a lot of sense that the bulk of the food is used by the system I guess as they say "the proof is in the puddin" or in this case "the proof is in the poopin".....gosh I'm sorry I thought it was gonna be funnier but I typed it so I'm leavin it.....

Years ago when I switched to premium foods, it was amazing to me, the way their bodies must process almost all the food, and suddenly the litterbox wasn't nearly as smelly and there was so much less waste in it.

That was the only premium food I knew about at that time. Aside from the poop issue, she was brighter eyed, bushier tailed, and even more apt to slice me a new one or bite me to the bone. :) It just made her happier. Gave her more energy to wake me at night and then again in the morning before I had the time to get enough sleep to function. *Sigh* I loved that cat. She was dumb as a rock but still effective in meeting her objectives. Imagine if our current administration was both instead of just one.

I don't know about bright eyed and energy levels (yet), but man, he's shure throwin down on this SD! I can't believe it...
He's a cereal kid!
I guess I will just have to insist that he eats the can (after removing the label of course...paper might not be good for him), I think it's 9 lives, chicken lips and cow foreheads...lol.

Well, as much as I do believe that canned food has helped my current kitties, I did have great success with dry SD for 15 years. Gnarly lived to be 20, had all her teeth, and had never been sick unless she ate something weird.

Maybe try Fancy Feast. It's the only one these days in the grocery store that has actual "chicken, beef, salmon," etc. as a first ingredient. (Meaning less foreheads and eyeballs!) Tender Beef Feast is Buddha's fav, whereas Cheeks must have her Salmon Feast.

I've never ever seen a cat who did not prefer the canned food, it even smells good really (some of it)...hmmm gives me an idea, maybe I can mix them. I always throw out at least 3/4 of the can. it just lays there getting a shell on it. well, at leat he's getting best possible for now.
