Cat Forum / General Topics / October 2003What About IAMS?
I recently switched from dry Whiskas to Iams cat food. My cats get hairballs and Iams has a formula for that. Does anybody have an opinion about Iams? Is their food okay or what? -kudzy >I recently switched from dry Whiskas to Iams cat food. My >cats get hairballs and Iams has a formula for that. Does anybody >have an opinion about Iams?

Dee Well, you just take 'okay' and go blow it out your a.s sideways! Stupid c.nt!!! Thanks for you worthless remarks, bitch!!! >> I recently switched from dry Whiskas to Iams cat food.

I wouldn't have responded quite so harshly but Dee could have offered and alternative and give the reasons why. Personally, I believe that when it comes to hairballs, it's a hit and miss situation. What works well for one cat doesn't necessarily work for others. Try the alternatives? Give your vet a call and pop the question? http://www.penmarric.ns.ca/catcare/usefulinfo/Hairballs.htm My Matilda has been with me for almost 3 years and has never coughed a furball. Though she's a short haired cat - she does shed, but she is brushed regularly and her diet consists of more canned food than dry. Hope you find your solution. Judy & Matilda. > Well, you just take 'okay' and go blow it out your a.s sideways! > Stupid c.nt!!!

I did the research on my own. I'm sure that anyone who cares enough about their cats to want to feed them decent foods and has a computer to do research on can do the same. Some of my suggestions would be felidae, life's abundance, flint river ranch...because regular commercial foods are full of crap like preservatives, dyes, unspecified "by-products," etc. Dee >> Oh my..................... >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >ranch...because regular commercial foods are full of crap like >preservatives, dyes, unspecified "by-products," etc. Well, if I knew the answer, I wouldn't have asked the question. Generally, this is a friendly forum, but I guess there are exceptions. Always a rotten egg in the crowd. I love my cats very much. Don't make any false assumptions you pompous bitch. >Well, if I knew the answer, I wouldn't have asked the question. >Generally, this is a friendly forum, but I guess there are exceptions. >Always a rotten egg in the crowd. > >I love my cats very much.

I'm getting seriously annoyed at my coffee coloured monitor y'know :-) Where did he go? He's popped up in uk.legal again (where the classic putdown was "go back and bother the cat people again") but he seems to be slowing down in his dotage. >DAz Signature79.84% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

So that's where he goes in the summer. Having been a lurker in here on and off for some years I feel I have got to know him, he has grown on me (like a big hairy wart) and I miss the big old lug, he cracks me up, bless him.

And, yes, the kudzu moniker has got me in hot water elsewhere on the internet. I posted in rec.gardens and got flamed instantly. I think Dee is long on talk/allegations and short on answers.

Like I said ...nutjob. I've been on this newsgroup for a long time. People here know me, some like me, some may even have some modicum of respect for me! :) I think you got a little carried away in your response. As I said, do some research on the matter if you care. I'm all done playing with you now. Dee >I'm sure that you do love your cats, however, Iams is highly >over-rated. There are better foods available to feed your cats if you >can afford them.

If you > want to duke it out with her, be my guest. She's a big lesbian and > has pictures of herself wrestling with bears! Call her back and ask her if she's a nutritionist, or if there might actually be better foods to feed your cat than Iams. Is that what your fit was all about? You want people to agree with you that you're doing the best you possibly can by your cats by feeding them Iams? I'm sorry, you're not. You asked for people's opinions...there are better foods to feed your cats, that's fact.

Dee > Well, you just take 'okay' and go blow it out your a.s sideways! > Stupid c.nt!!! > > Thanks for you worthless remarks, bitch!!! You certainly have a way with the English language. It would seem you are the one with the hairball. Try IAMS yourself and see what you think. Daz >> Well, you just take 'okay' and go blow it out your a.s sideways! >> Stupid c.nt!!!

Is their food okay or what? Piggy-backing, since I cannot see OP. My 12 year old cat just nearly died from a giant hairball recently, so I have come up with a plan to keep him hair-ball free. He is free-fed Nutro hairball maintenance diet, Purina "indoor" cat formula, and Purina Diabetic diet (D/M) - all dry chow, as much as he wants. Twice daily, he is fed 3 oz. canned cat food - Iams kitten, D/M, or other ground cat food high in water content. Each day he gets 1/2 inch ribbon of hairball remedy goo (Petromalt, Linetone, etc.) and eats two herbal hairball releif chewable tablets: http://www.petsmart.com/products/product_12319.shtml he also gets a little milk once or twice weekly. So far, this regimen has cleared his HUGE blockage, and has him pooping regularly. Best of luck, -L. I have a cat who has a problem with h-balls.... I cant speak to IAMS but I do use one of those hairball control malt favor type stuff and it has helped her tremedously However my other cat doesnt like the stuff so she just coughs 'em up from time to time > I recently switched from dry Whiskas to Iams cat food.

My | cats get hairballs and Iams has a formula for that. Does anybody | have an opinion about Iams?

So I filled five bowls with different flavours, offered them to Tom and was sure that he would steer to the one he likes best. He didn't - he took a bit of everything :-) But he didn't touch Iams chicken. So there... Carola My kitties eat wellness and love it! I was thinking of feeding them Barf for cats, but not sure I can handle feeding that since I'm vegetarian. supermarket cat foods are full of fillers and by-products. Normally you should look at the ingredients, it lists in order by the amount. > I recently switched from dry Whiskas to Iams cat food. My > cats get hairballs and Iams has a formula for that.

I was thinking of feeding them Barf > for cats, but not sure I can handle feeding that since I'm vegetarian. I am not interested in starting a debate on feeding cats a vegetarian diet but only to offer this information. If you would like to try a non-animal-based food check out the Evolution products at vegancats.com. My DSH calico loves the dry kibble and the gourmet stew canned food. She will eat the other canned variety but will beg for the stew. All Evolution foods meet the same nutritional standard as meat-based ones do but are completely vegan. - Netlurker Ummmm I don't feed my cat vegan, I wasn't trying to start a debate. What I was referring to was BARF which is raw meat! Wellness is NOT a vegan diet!!!!!!!!!!! > [[ This message was both posted and mailed: see > the "To," "Cc," and "Newsgroups" headers for details. ]] [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > - Netlurker > Ummmm I don't feed my cat vegan, I wasn't trying to start a debate.

I can understand not wanting to deal with it if you're vegan. I tried (am still trying actually) to switch my cats to raw and they looked at me like I was crazy. Dee >Bitchy >And >Rude >F*kr > >Bitchy > >And > >Rude > >F*kr Dear, you asked if Iams was an okay food. I said it's just okay, but you could do better....and you lost your mind! lol!

I also like Pet Guard, and it's not too expensive. Dee I have been feeding my three year old boys Iams weight control formula with hairball care. They seem to really like it. I trust the Iams brand. This formula comes in small round pellets even our kitten has been found to munch on. > I recently switched from dry Whiskas to Iams cat food. My > cats get hairballs and Iams has a formula for that.
