Best Wet Cat Food

[smurfchops]

I feed my five year old female Whiskas cans and sometimes HiLife Chicken which has a much higher content of meat. Also sometimes with a handful of biscuits, and not large amounts of any food daily... maybe a palm full all day. She doesn’t eat much in the mornings anyway but as in a previous thread she has put on some weight over the winter. I read somewhere not to give too much protein so I alternate with Whiskas (Poundland, I know). Please let me know if the Whiskas is complete rubbish, should I maybe give boiled fresh fish maybe sometimes, HiLife all the time, or what would you recommend? I have looked online, some websites recommend a certain tinned food is good, others say that food is bad! I can’t afford big money but what do you think ?? I would say she doesn’t eat more than a pouch and a half a day.

I've always assumed that cats require a fair amount of protein.
If you Google 'cat protein requirements', quite a few articles come up.
Personally, I'd give her the higher protein food.

I give mine Felix. She has one pouch in the morning. First she licks all jelly up then goes back for the chunks later in the day.
She wouldn’t touch Whiskas. I’ve never bothered with boiling up fish or anything like that.

If you get supermarket offers Felix works out at less than 30p per day.
Mine has dry food available all day.
She’s very glossy and a healthy weight.

None of our five will touch Whiskas. They have dried food, water always available, it can be expensive but there is no waste. They're all happy and healthy. They have two pouches each a week either Felix or Gourmet. We get the very large size when on offer, expensive at the time but cheaper than buying smaller boxes. Dried food I buy on line and it can be expensive but supermarkets do Purina on offer quite often. One cat wouldn't need much.

Mine dislikes Whiskas but love Sainsbury’s own and it 44 sachets for 9 pound.
They also have biscuits to graze on all day
