    Purina usually. We used to buy Science Diet but then it started making our cat sick....and so do the super cheap foods. Purina has a few special formulas that seem to work okay.

    My cats like Purina over other brads in the store. They did like Friskies, but I noticed that their coats looks a little better when I switched to Purina. They like Iams for a while, but then they started getting picky and only wanted table scraps.

    My fiancee has been feeding the cats Iams dry food for years now. When it comes to wet food, she purchases two different types of natural products. It depends on how much the prices are. It's quite healthy and Iams seems to be rather healthy too because neither have had anything wrong with them.

    My cat, as you know, has a very sensitive tummy, and anything can set him off, we have finally found an affordable food that he cant eat that wont result in blood poops!

    It's Felidae wet food Senior diet, and for the dry portion, it's Feline Plus Lifetime Chicken, Turkey and Oatmeal. It works WONDERS for him, way better than the vet's food, I cannot believe it.

    The Felidae is 2.39 for a big can and that lasts three days, and the Feline Plus is $15 for a 2.5kg bag. I totally reccomend these products for any cat with digestive issues.

    Try Feline Plus Lifetime Chicken, Turkey and Oatmeal. It has probiotics, and is low fat, so it is easy to digest, its fairly cheap, and its grain free. It hasn't made my little one sick, and his tummy is insanely sensitive!

    My cats have been on Hills for a couple of years now, but they have recently started to throw up right after eating it so I am switching kibble. I now have Sanabelle and I hope they will digest this better. The wet food we feed is Cosma.

    It's grain-free? I've never heard of the brand. Where do you buy it? I'm sure I could probably find it online, but shipping isn't exactly cheap.

    Sanabelle has grain-free food as well, and a couple of others brands. It's getting more and more popular, which is a good thing.

    Yes I think its grain free. I get mine at Global Pet Foods (I am in Canada) Its about $12.99 for a 2.5kg bag here, so far my troubled little guy isn't sick with it either!

    The bag looks like this: [​IMG]

    I searched for " Feline Plus Lifetime Chicken" and was shocked to see that this thread actually comes up fourth in the search results! Awesome. :D

    Hhaha! As I looked at the bag last night, it looks like there is a maple leaf in the logo, I would guess in that case .... It's Canadian.

    Most of the time I buy Whiskas. I can get Whiskas in two packaging. One is the branded packaging. The other is bulk packaging which comes in a big 50 kg sack. Of course, the one which comes in the big sack is cheaper.

    Lately I've been feeding my cats Iams and they love it. They're more likely to gobble it up as soon as I fed them. i was a bit worried at first, but it seems they just think it's delicious!

    My guys used to eat Iams too, until they got sick, I doubt it was the Iams but just like you, they used to devour it like it was going to be taken away.

    Has anyone tried the Purina weight loss formulas? My cat is starting to look like a chubby bunny and could lose a few pounds. He likes to be carried and he is hurting my back now. I need to get him on a diet soon.

    I haven't tried a weight loss formula. In general, I would recommend just changing his habits in general. Feed him a little bit less at each meal. Cut back on treats. Even offer veggies with meals to stretch his food a little more without the extra calories. Encourage him to run around and play more often.

    Purina for my cat right now, and for my dog is blue buffalo all the way, because she really seems to like it better than any other brands we have ever tried. I did give whiskay to my Bob in the beginning, but thankfully not for too long.

    My kitties love Friskies. In the can food they like any of the shredded stuff that has lots of gravy. It doesn't matter too much what the flavour is. They will eat any of it but they have a preference to salmon and chicken. In the dry food they love it all. They eat their dry food throughput the day. It is like a snack for them. They also love the Temptation treats. They go crazy for them.

    Persian specific food from king canine . So much less puking hairballs. I alternate between blue buffalo meow mix( they love it) Friskies cans and rotisserie chicken. They’re very healthy energetic and well-coated . Just b cause it’snot that expensive doesn’t mean it’s bad food but sometimes they need the good three times as expensive stuff .
