I am nipping down to Sainsbury's in a minute - I think the Sudafed has kicked in and the shivers have gone  ;D
I know they had big boxes of Olli in there last year so will check. They are always discontinuing stuff in there.

I spoke to the lady that runs our small pet shop in Sandwich. She is going to order some in for me so long as I promise to buy at least three boxes.  :wow: Of course, it'll be more expensive than the supermarket but still better than a special trip in to Canterbury.  ;) Tilly has asked for the Chicken, Liver and Duck flavour.  :evillaugh:

Mark, our mutual friend, Sally, tells me that the petshop near Animal House vets in Herne Bay sells Olli. That's a lot better than waging war around Canterbury city walls to get to the Asda. Mind you, an hour's round trip to buy a box of biscuits isn't really carbon neutral, is it!  :naughty: So Tilly will have to wait until the next Tom cat from Littlebourne falls for my sardines.  :evillaugh:

I need to go soon but as you said, I wouldn't go there specially. I also need to stock up on Tiger senior pouches that Clapton loves. If the branch needs biscuits, bear in mind that they have rollback on their 1kg premium food (Tiger select), 1/2 price at £1.74 and it's really high quality.

My cats love the Olli dry food but my Tesco's have stopped stocking it now and I'm struggling to find it now too  >:(  I think I might try and find an online supplier.

The last time I got it, it was 99p for 400grams I think. I only stopped getting it as it is quite high fat - about 21% I think - similar to Hills. The cats wouldn't eat the fish one.

Olli dry isn't too bad ingredient wise, I might get some as a treat for my lot, rather than Perfect Fit - I have had cats be fussy with it though. I have seen it in Morrisons and Wilkinsons, can't remmber if I saw it in Asda today though. Wouldn't buy the wet stuff, the varities sound a bit odd and it was very pricey last time I saw it (not around that much anymore).
Please spay your cat

The nice RSPCA inspector bought loads of the wet Olli trays for my rescues. They are loving it to the the extent that they are taming even faster. It is slightly out of date, but the puddies don't care. Would recommend it for any cat. (No share in Olli  :rofl: ) Saving me a fortune in Asda own brand and they can't get enough.
Cats were once gods; they have never forgotten this, nor have the people they own.

Pretty good ingredients  ;D

I need to do an Asda trip to get my Tiger senior food but I end up making a day of it by the time I have done TK Maxx, Matalan, Lidl etc  :evillaugh: - and that's avoiding the city walls otherwise I would never get back  :evillaugh:

Corporal Smokey, you are a star...  :hug:

But as you say, what with postage, etc., it might prove an expensive treat.  :evillaugh:

And I'm in the East Kent area - Thanet, Dover, that kind of thing.

I suppose I'll have to brave the traffic go do a bulk run to Canterbury.  :-[

It seems to be a regional thing, then. Our Sainsburys don't have them, nor Tescos. There's a Morrisons I haven't tried yet so I'll give them a go. Thanks, Gillian.  :briggin:

I can't even find a website for them...  :shy:

I don't know about the nutritional side, but Tilly turns her nose up at cheap biscuits like Go Cat and only likes Pro Plan or stuff like that. I used to give her a bowl of Olli just for a bit of variety.  :innocent:

Whereabouts in the country are you hun? I'll have a look in Tesco in a bit and see how much they are. I might be able to pop some in the post. But then it'd probably be cheaper to order online frome somewhere.

Our Tesco stocks them. It's not a huge Tesco either. I've not tried it as mine turned their backs on the wet but how does it rate nutritionally?

Has anyone seen where these are stocked?  :scared: They come in a big orange coloured cardboard box with a plastic resealable lid. I got a box once from Asda Canterbury. My Tilly absolutely loves them, so I went to get some more from Asda in Thanet and they don't do them.

I don't get to Canterbury Asda that often, so I'm wondering who else does them? Not PAH, Tesco or Sainsbury.  :(

Somerfield do them, but often only the smaller tub, our Sainsbury's do them in the bigger tub, and the Morrisons I sometimes go in used to do them, but I've not seen them in there for a while. My cats love them too!  ;)
