It is a hit with Willow. OH  I were discussing what we will do when the Perfect Fit is finished as she wouldn't touch anything else. I gave Clapton some of the Tesco one this afternoon. He ate 1/2 of it then Willow discovered it. She has been back about 6 times. Bearing in mind, she is a picky eater who daintily claws one piece at a time. I looked just now and she was licking the dish as it is totally clean  :Crazy: - OH had said we will have to pay Zooplus Perfect fit prices but this may be a cheaper alternative and has the same meat content. Obviously she is a very discerning cat  :evillaugh: - Kylie & Alice won't even look at it.

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

I was in Tesco yesterday buying some of those expensive foil trays for Jaffa but didn't see these.  Will have a look next time I'm there.  Price could be permanent - hi life essentials is only about £2.88 for 12 pouches at Asda.

I'm sure it must be an intro price given that it is cheaper than Whiskas/Felix but 14% chicken  :Crazy:

I was going to post about it today. He ate the first pouch of Beef you sent and the first pouch of chicken that was delivered. Since then,
 he refuses to eat it and so does Willow  :tired: - She is having Perfect Fit wet with Renalzin in and he is having whatever I can get him to eat with Ipakitine in - he won't eat anything with renalzin in. He loves the cheap Tesco beef & liver alutrays so I am going to mix some into the renal to see if he will take the bait  :shify: - hopefully with some binders added. Thanks for the tip about Cranberries as I planned to keep that flavour for Willow. Seems we can't win  :tired:

Have you tried korky with Renalzin? - apparently, the binder (lanthanum) is much safer than calcium or aluminium based ones and the kaolin helps mop up toxins as well. Also Vitamin E added.

I've just been reading up on food ingredients for CRF cats (its my major pre-occupation these days since Korky declared his renal diet a no-go area).  and cranberries acidify the food leading to increased excretion of potassium in the urine which is bad news for a CRF kitty who is already losing too much potassium due to increased urination.  Just thought I'd mention it as you have 2 CRF kitties.  Is Clapton still eating the RC food?

£2.99 a box (12 pouches)

Flavours like turkey & brown rice, chicken & cranberry. They seem to go down well here. Not sure if is an intro price but 14% meat, no wheat or dairy.
