I can’t believe it… the much cheaper fish cat food really must not contain secret chicken. It’s working?! Melbcat does not have the runs. Annoyed that the beef variety does have chicken/poultry though.
Long term health is another issue - it’s possibly salty (which is bad) and a bit low in protein (which for her kidneys may actually be a good thing?) so in spite of it marked as meeting AAFCO standards and being fortified with taurine and vitamins I will be watching out and speaking to the vet about the quality when she’s seen this week. Struggling to believe the own brand is really ok. (I buy generics for myself but the pet food industry is less tightly regulated.) But if she won’t eat her biscuits she needs something with vitamins.
As much as I hate supporting Woolies there’s also an own brand paper litter that’s a smaller bag but a bit cheaper by unit cost. I’ll still try to get the normal kind on special. Reducing these costs leaves a bigger margin for her medications, treats and vet visits.
Thanks, I do buy enough food for myself, the generics are pretty much as good as brand. And I do pay extra for the specific intolerance friendly items I need.

Pusskuss is one lucky lady to have you. I hope you are looking after yourself too. You both gotta be nourished to be able to function.

That’s good to hear and I agree with the generics bit.
