The lost blog entry

There was a very long blog entry right here, but my browser froze and I lost it. Long story short, it said canned cat food = smaller poops/less frequent poops/less smelly poops = less litterbox scooping/less cat litter used = happy me. My “experiement” with the cats and canned food is now six weeks old and I’ve been very pleased with the results. Chelsea and Derek have lost weight, too!

Please tell me what you are feeding. Glad you found a winning combination!

Glad it’s working out well for you. I’m finding the same with Salem—less to scoop from the box, and he’s down to 12.6 pounds as of his vet visit last weekend, which is great. Salem *loves* the Grammy’s Pot Pie flavor you recommended, and in his little fuzzy heart I’m sure he thanks you for mentioning the Merrick food to me! :)

That sounds like Nutro Brand, My mommy said it is a good food. I eat Merrick, but she likes all the natural and holistic foods for me. They are better for me to grow with

VetMommy, I rewrote my long blog entry last night, so it contains all my observations about cat food. Not scientific, but very anecdotal.

Helena, glad the Merrick is working for you—we’re now in a bit of a “Turducken” craze around here, but any of the poultry foods are popular!

Maggie, I tried my cats on a number of different foods and Merrick seemed to be their favourite. They’re now using organic chicken in all their chicken flavours, and that’s really all my cats eat. Sometimes I get the cats to eat the more “blended” types of canned food, but they do enjoy the chunks in the Merrick. I know Nutro is a great food, though, and I think Wellness is also excellent.

About Me

Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary on Facebook

My name is Leigh-Ann, I'm Canadian, and I live in the United States. This gives me great insight on cross-border issues, like American vs. Canadian candy bars, and curling vs. golf. I enjoy coffee but not caffeine, as I like to think I'm agitated enough already. I love animals and birds and fish and even most of the creepy crawlies on the sidewalk and in the garden, but I prefer it when they stay out of the house. I completed the veterinary technology program at Penn Foster, and in 2004 I started Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary with the goal of eventually turning it into a farm-like sanctuary facility for 50+ "unadoptable" cats (we're at 24). Long story short, this is a cat blog, with a dose of dog and parrot, heavy on pet health care talk. If you'd like to make a donation to Wee Paws, click the button below, or click here for more options and ways you can help.

I live with the fantabulous Flippy. I write a blog about fibromyalgia at Tired Girls. Feel free to check out the photo gallery if you want to see 500 pictures of my dogs, cats, birds, etc. Get in touch with me via the "contact" link above - I'm always available for freelance social media marketing work. My background includes 13 years in radio and television. One more thing: this blog was designed to be displayed at 1280 x 1024, because that's just the kind of girl I am.
