How much our cats eat is dependent on the brand they are fed. Strange since they
are all essentially horse meat with chicken or game or fish flavours. Ours eat 50%
meat from the sachets and 50% biscuit.

I am wondering what is behind next door's shed.

He spent a long time behind there this morning, came in, went back to the back door and had a look out and then went running upstairs to bed.That's where he is now.

Then, before you know where you are, he will be on drugs, which I could probably live with but, with drugs comes munchies which would just make life even harder!

He is bad enough sober, I am not starting him on beer.

He would probably be demanding I take him for a kebab afterwards as well.

It will probably go through him like a dose of salts ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D

Sharron

Sharron Report 25 Jul 2018 18:28

And have him going through that like he goes through meat?

He was poking about in the hand basin, looking to see what was in there and the tap was dripping but he ignored it completely.

One of ours sits in the sink and drinks from the tap <3

I have never known Jackie to drink. Of course there is water available but he has never touched it and shows no interest at all in it.

I'm going to be nerdy now! :-D :-D

Aldi, and Tesco pouches are 85g, Whiskas, Felix and Sainsbury's pouches are 100g, so, by my reckoning, Jacky has 510g of food a day.

Between them mine eat a 400g can of meat a day (morning feed), and at least 3 sachets of (usually) Felix or Whiskas in the evenng.
Now I know the different weights, I understand why they have up to 5 sachets of Tesco pouches between them :-(

So, on average, they eat 350g of wet food a day, plus two types of dry food, available at all times. To be honest, a lot of the 'wet' food is available all day too - they're fussy b*ggers, but obviously not too hungry :-|
They also drink a fair bit of water - always have done!

Both are considered 'skinny' by today's standards, in that, you can't feel their ribs, but know where their spines are!
At 12 years old, they're both pretty active - actually, at times, George still thinks he's a teenager :-|

Fred's mate is a Newcastle fan and our cat is black and white with hollow legs!

Blimey he has a huge appetite

My boy Mr Tibbs has one pouch of Felix in jelly in the mornings. A few Felix treats mid morning . and a handful of purina for his evening meal

He sometimes makes the purina last all night too

Mind you no knowing if he feasts on live birds and mice during the day as he often brings me some in thinking I need feeding too !!!
