I’m having a hard time on deciding which brand wet cat food to feed my future cat.
There are so many choices.
All I know is that I want to feed them something relatively healthy but I also don’t want to spend tons of money so I’ll go broke.
Which brand cat food do you feed your cat?
IAMs. It’s a good compromise between healthy and affordable. Cats are designed to live to 20 years, but their kidneys are designed to last about 15. It’s important to keep them on a kidney healthy diet for life if you want them to last longer.
Yeah thanks @shutterbug
I think that @77nick77 also feeds their cat IAMs as well.
Good to know!
What’s really depressing is that when you work out the price of cat food vs people food per ounce or kilogram, it turns out that the darn fuzz beast is eating better than you are.
Easy solution:
Eat cat food yourself
My childhood cat loved Fancy Feast. We alternated fish and chicken flavors. I also shared with her every time I opened a can of tuna-in-water for myself. I’d give her a spoonful before making a sandwich with the rest. Not sure how healthy that is for them but she loved it and lived to age 21.
Yeah I was also considering Fancy Feast for them.
Thanks @agent101g!
Not sure what your budget is but, for a cat, a premium food such as Hill’s Science Diet, Purina Pro Plan, or Royal Canin will end up costing about the same as the cheaper foods because you will feed less and the cat will have fewer stools so you will change litter less often.
Yes thanks!
Good to know!
Good luck to you and your cat friend i want a cat now after my dog passes
Thanks @anon38481630 155555
Don’t feed wet food exclusively. Make sure they have more dry food. Wet food doesn’t clean the teeth and cats are prone to tartar build up that can eventually make it tough to eat or cause tooth loss.
You can mix tglhe wet and dry right before they eat or keep dry food out so they can free feed and gove a can of wet a day.
Also, don’t be afraid to give you cat trimmings from meat. Beef, chicken, and tuna are great. Pork, not so much because of salt content. My cats love the fat trimmings from dinner- not cooked. It’s great for their system to have fat occasionally, because cats are all very similar to their wild counterparts that need meat and fat.
Also, cats love cheese. It’s ok for a rare treat, but just like for humans, it can cause constipation.
I heard and read that dry food was bad for cats.
Cats need plenty of moisture that canned foods provide.
Am I wrong @anon4362788?
Also most dry foods contain lots of carbs and high carbohydrate diets are also bad for cats.
IDK. Maybe check out stores that are close by that regularly carry cans of wet food and try several brands and pick the brand that your cat likes the most, the store carries the flavors he likes, is cheap, healthy and goes on sale periodically.
I used to feed my cat Fancy Feast because he seemed to like it, the stores near me carried it, and it often went on sale and I could stock up with 9 or 10 cans at a time.
Thanks @77nick77 Yeah I’ll shop around
I fed my cats dry food most of their lives until the little one got nine teeth pulled. Now I give them wet food too. Used to be science diet from Pet Smart but now my big cat has to have a special food for urinary problems. She used to get a lot of bladder infections. She weighs 14 pounds used to feed her perfect weight dry food by. Science diet but she never lost any weight.
They are 14 now. The special food you have to get from the vet and it’s very expensive. I feed them both the same food.
Jimmy loves Friskies wet cat food. I feed him about a quarter of a can every morning. He gets unlimited dry food. And typically in the evening/night I give him a handful of Temptations cat treats. 
Thanks @TomCat and @Montezuma!
You welcome! I’m so happy you’re getting a furbaby. 
Thanks @Montezuma!
