Default What do you feed your cat?

I was just wondering what kind of a diet your cat(s) were on - raw, canned, dry, etc., and what brands you used?

Sassy gets Fromm Surf n Turf dry in the mornings, and canned at night. We use a rotation of Nature's Variety Instinct, Fromm, and Wellness.

I tried for a good long while to get her on raw (I tried Primal and NV) and she went all hunger-strike on me. :-(

I started Albus out on raw when we got him. It just takes up so much freezer space though that we can't do it right now. At least he learned a variety of foods when he was young, so hopefully when we can do ALL the pets on raw he won't have any trouble.

After raw it was really hard to find a kibble that he liked, but he's eating Blue Buffalo Wilderness right now and seems to enjoy it.

Neko eats various brands of wet food, Evo, Innova, Cal natural, By Nature, Blue Spa, go natural, newman's own, Felidae, and some others.

Willie eats the same. He was eating home made raw for several months but it was a daily struggle getting any organ into him and I didn't think he was getting everything he needed because of that. So now he eats the wet food but get a chicken wing each week to try and keep those teeth as white as being on raw has kept them.

Nya and Buddy get a bit of everything. Raw or grain free canned most of the time, grain free kibble if I'm super lazy.

Pi does horribly on grainfree kibble, so when we are feeding kibble (like now) he gets a midrange food. Currently he's eating By Nature, we've also fed California Natural, ProPlan, and Kirkland.

When DH isn't having to feed Pi (I'm going out of town for 10 days tomorrow), we feed Honest Kitchen's Prowl.

Inky eats Wellness purple bag kibble (weight control stuff) and all of their canned. It's the cheapest around here, though every once in a while he gets other canned.

The two outdoor cats get Cat Chow. It is all I can afford to get them and I figured since they also hunt and eat what they catch it doesn't really matter. They're both doing great.

Pheobe, my mom's cat, used to eat Iams Original, but she is now on Royal Canin Urinary SO because she has a UTI and crystals.

Apollo eats TOTW. As a young kitten I fed him Blue Buffalo Wilderness and he LOVED it, but it is just too expensive for me to feed so I switched both him and the ferrets to TOTW. Much more in my price range, and he is doing great on it.

Authority just changed their formula and it was for the better. Should TOTW ever not work out or is out of stock, the Authority is my backup food.

Hazel eats a variety of foods. LOL for dry she gets I think a purina variety. But she also will get canned every now and then, table scraps galore during the summer months (we usually eat dinner at the picnic table during the summer). Some times she will get some raw scraps. And she gets her fill of rodents that she catches.

Mine are a pain in the butt and the only food that they will eat is friskies canned, Fancy feast canned, and purina kibble. They're little brats and will sit at the top of the stairs and howl if I try to feed them any grain free. I bought the biggest box they sell of Prowl (Honest Kitchen) and it sits on my counter only a few bowls mixed out of it. They would NOT touch it.
