 |  |  |  | I've had Mr.Jaken and MissyMomma on BlueBuffalo SpaSelect dry kibble for awhile now and they've always liked it from the get. It's good stuff and "flash" cooked to keep the vitamins in there and it contains extra antioxidants and stuff--"LifeSourceBits" they call them--but the point is, you guys, they EAT it.
When i talked to L'ilWinston's breeder a couple hours before i went to pick him up and bring him home, of course i asked what she had been feeding him and what i should pick up at the store for him.
Well, to make a long story short, she said "by nature" food was the best--organic, no soy, no wheat, etc.etc.ad nauseum-- and basically i came away from the call feeling something seriously akin to an incompetent and rather ignorant cat owner.
But of course, as you've probably all guessed, there i was-- running out into more than annoying rush-hour traffic to stock up on everything "by nature"--the raw pouches, the cans, the kitten dry.
And wouldn't you know it.
Not only did Jake&Mia turn away and scratch the floor as if in the litter box upon the multiple bowls, but L'ilWinston took one bite of the wet can bowl and walked away.
After leaving everything out for a few hours and it going bad in the bowl, i regretably dumped it all and started trying to mix Friskies wet into a smaller percentage of the "by Nature".
No go.
Same total lack of desire on each cats' part.
So finally, after Mr.Jaken complaining in my face every chance he got, i broke out the Friskies Shredded and EVERYBODY came running.
All bowls cleaned out, everybody fat and lazyblink and slow rythym tail sway in leisurely post meal mode.
What a waste!
Has anyone had any success with "by nature"?
I wish i had just trusted my own instincts as far as Blue-dry/Friskies/wet, instead of wasting so much money on this unappetizing food.
I have a bunch of it and i guess i'll donate it to the nearest shelter but i'm kinda scared they won't touch it either.
What do you guys think of the no soy/no wheat organic thing ? Does anybody actually eat the stuff? Maybe even LIKE it?
It's just weird.
My guys are so...so...."Downhome", i guess! |  |  |  |  |
