Best Dry Cat Food Online
He is a normal weight, but I worry that I am not giving him enough. How many cups should I dish out and how many times a day...?
Okay, so I bought some dry cat food for my cat. I got him from my great grandmother, I've never owned a cat before but he was too beautiful to pass up on. His a fat cat, so I went to PetsMart and bought some 'special diet' foods. For some reason he won't eat the wet food that my great grandmother was giving him. Maybe I'm wrong and he isn't fat. What you think about it? Food and his size?
My Bubu sitting with my dad
Hehe I forgot to mention a few things. He is a fixed boy, declawed and I've had him for about a week now. He is warming up to others pretty well, his attached to me (I expected this). He does eat the special dry food, but wants nothing to do with the wet food that my great grandmother gave me. I have one of those water cooler looking water bowls for him. After cleaning his litter box, he doesn't have any runny poop.
As for the body chart, he is just a tad bigger then 4...and looking at that makes me a little upset lol. I see all these people telling me that dry food is bad for them cause they can't process it well...but he got huge on wet food (Not to mention he won't even go near it). I know when my dad got his dog fixed, the dog gained some weight...could this be the same? By the way, Bubu is about 3 years old (guessing by a story from my grandmother)
Blue Buffalo Recalls Can and Biscuit Products Due To Tampering By American Nutrition Inc.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Wilton, Connecticut, April 26, 2007- We at the Blue Buffalo Company have just learned that American Nutrition Inc. (ANI), the manufacturer of all our cans and biscuits, has been adding rice protein concentrate to our can formulas without our knowledge and without our approval. This is product tampering, and it apparently has been going on for some time. The can formulas that we developed, and trusted them to produce, never contained any rice protein concentrate. It appears that only an FDA investigation of ANI's rice protein concentrate supplies forced them to reveal this product tampering to us.
While this activity by ANI is in itself unlawful, the situation is further clouded by the fact that ANI has been receiving rice protein concentrate from Wilber-Ellis, some of which the FDA has determined to be contaminated with melamine.
So while no BLUE or Spa Select canned product has tested positive for the presence of melamine, and there has been no reported illness due to any of our canned products, we simply cannot be sure of what ANI has been including in our formulas. For this reason, we have decided to remove all of our canned and biscuit products from retail distribution. While this may seem to many to be a major over-reaction, as other ANI customers will probably only recall the products that tested positive for melamine, we see this as a matter of integrity.
We founded Blue Buffalo on the principle of providing dogs and cats with the highest quality and most nutritious food, and we will not sell any product that doesn't meet this standard. And under these circumstances, we cannot say that any products manufactured by ANI measure up.
The obvious question is "how could Blue Buffalo not know that ANI was putting rice protein concentrate into our canned food?" The answer is we trusted them. In business and in life, we all trust our partners to deal with us honestly. When we buy produce from our local grocery store, we are trusting growers, shippers and a series of handlers to have delivered a product that is safe and nutritious for our family. If any one of these parties betrays our trust, contaminated products can make their way to our dinner table.
And while we test for known toxins and contaminants, we don't test for protein sources, like rice protein concentrate, especially when we did not formulate our products to contain them.
In the end, this all comes down to an issue of integrity, and ANI has not been honest with us and with the pet parents who buy our products. We will not put any product made by ANI on the shelf, and are temporarily withdrawing an important part of our business in order to be true to our pet parents.
We have already started the process of identifying a can and biscuit manufacturer with whom we can build a partnership based on trust. Once we have accomplished this, BLUE and Spa Select cans and BLUE Health Bars will be reintroduced with the high quality and superior nutrition that our brand stands for and that dogs and cats deserve.
We have informed our retail partners and the FDA about this action and will be cooperating with them to complete this recall quickly. The specific product involved includes all "BLUE" brand can dog foods, all "Spa Select" brand can cat foods and all "BLUE Health Bar" treats.
Consumers who have unused or partially used packages of any of these products should return them to their place of purchase for a complete refund.
All "BLUE" dry natural food for dogs and "Spa Select" dry natural foods for cats are not affected by this recall and are safe for consumption. Should consumers have a specific question, they can call the Company at 1-800-919-2833, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EDT, to receive more information.
I recently adopted a 7 month old Tabby and I was wondering if it was best to give her wet food, dry food, or a mixture of both.
I know went food keeps them better hydrated and with dry food there has to be a lot of water nearby. If dry food is best, is it better to leave food out all day or just put it out twice a day
Also, what brand of cat food do you prefer fro your cat?
Thanks
He is about 6 now and is getting a bit Tubby, i have always just filled his bowl and left it, when its empty refilled - is this correct? And if reducing the amount to lose weight, how much do i reduce by?

food'. Is there anything I can do or give her to help her not stink so bad when she goes? It smells so bad we have to open all windows and spray !
The question really says it all... I was wondering what's healthiest for cats?
And another question - I've heard switching between dry and wet food is good for them? You know, keeping it balanced...? Is that true, or?
I have a two year old cat who eats The Goodlife Recipe dry cat food, some of the same treats, and that's it. She's always hungry for it and everything, but I want to try something different. I know people make dog biscuits all the time, but what can I make for the cat?
We have her on natural/organic food and would like to keep it that way since we've had her for three weeks and she's been eating natural for two weeks and is now used to it and likes it. I know that she would love something with cream or some kind of dough cookie thing, but I don't want to feed her anything unnatural and I don't want to just feed her "human food"...and I never will (bad habit to get into!!)
Please if you have any ideas or websites or something let me know!
My wife tells me that wet food provides moisture for the cat, because cats don't drink much water.
I am currently paying per 6 lb bag of Halo Dry Cat Food from my local organic store. I thought it would be cheaper to buy online, but so far, I have only found higher prices and most of the stores online are actually just reselling through PETCO. I read a comment on a review that you could buy 20 lb bags somewhere – which would be great, but I can't find anything more than 3 and 6 lb bags.
Where can I buy direct and in bulk? Please help me find Halo Dry Cat Food (chicken or salmon flavor) for less than / 6 lb bag (.67/lb).

What brand/kind of cat food should we get my cat??
My cat is 17 years old and the vet said that we need to switch her to senior canned cat food. She has ate dry food before and we usually buy good life recipie. There are just so many choices of canned cat food, but what is the best for the price?? We don't want to feed our cat the most expensive food. Also do they even make senior canned cat food?? Thanks!!
We are currently using a name brand Indoor Cat food but she has 4-5 large bowl movements a day and I have heard that those types of cat foods will cause a lot of bowl movements. She is only 5 months old. From what I am seeing online that's a lot of bowl movements for a young cat.
I have a female cat that suddently gained weight very quickly and her eyes are bulging. Could it be a thyroid problem. She doesn't over eat. In fact, I have never caught her at the feeding dish very often. She has lost fur on both sides of her body. I had another cat a few years ago that had the same problem. she was nice and slim and then she also gained a lot of weight and bulging eyes. I had to have her put down when she suddenly bit my hand while i was petting her. As for my cat's diet, I am feeding her and my other three cats a very expensive natural dry cat food and the other three are fine. My vet said that cats don't get thyroid problems.
are there natural remedies to give to a cat for thyroid issues?
I had my other cat put down because she was miserable and I was afraid that she would bite someone else. When she bit me, it was almost to the bone and she wouldn't let go. I will never keep any pet if they bite for whatever reason.The chance of infection is too great. My father almost died just from a little cat bite.
I have been feeding them dry food but am considering switching them to canned since I've read that it's much better for them. I have eight cats and a couple of them are overweight; I've also read lately that switching to canned food will help them to lose weight.
My kitten, growing boy, has none stop diarrhea and it is getting worse, i feed him Purina Cat Food Indoor Formula because, well, it was the cheapest i could get that didn't look like a horrible off brand, i found later that he started having diarrhea and was always so tired and sluggish, i thought he may be sick so i did my research and found horrible results about Purina for cats and dogs, people were saying most of their animals have diarrhea and vomiting problems with their pets when they bought Purina, some even had their pets die, i was horrified to realize my kitten has all the same symptoms: diarrhea, always tired and lethargic, i felt so horrible that it was my fault he has been feeling like this, i NEED to know a good dry food or wet food BRAND, or both, don't give me long explanations about how dry food is bad or wet food is bad, i just need good BRAND names, ones that you have used for your animals yourself and your animals were fine.
Im calling the number on the back of the Purina bag and getting my money back and putting in a pretty good complaint for my lil babies suffering!
And my kitten is growing fine and playful still so i dont think he has anything serious, it only started happening once he started eating Purina
Thanks Dumblydor, thats been the best answer so far 
I have four cats that I feed dry food. The heaviest cat won't eat wet food. The other 3 get it now and then as a treat. Somebody told me my cat is fat because he only eats dry food.
