Yeah I have always fed her Fancy Feast and Dine. She has one of the small tins a day, half at breakfast and half at dinner, as well as dry food. LOL Tuppy hates the pates, except Salmon, Cod and Shrimp. She's more a fish chunks in gravy kind of girl.

LOLOL re Nutroblast - once Tuppy ate some butter that had been left on the bench - I woke up in the middle of the night to the most foul smell...

It's annoying, because I have always bought the premium brand food for her, and I always buy the dry food in the resealable packs, and only put a bit in the jar and freeze the rest so that it keeps as fresh as possible so she is most likely to eat them, given that in the cardboard boxes go stale so quickly, yet the vet was like 'what are you feeding her? Stuff from the supermarket? You should get vet stuff' like everything you buy at the supermarket is all the same and all poor quality. Yet Cloudy's vet says Fancy Feast is the good stuff.

I do think the vet was a tad overvigilant because I took her for the first time to the uni vet school where you're seen by vet students and a consultant so I think the consultants like to pick every tiny thing up for teaching purposes. LOL the vet trip was awful - Tuppy peed in her carry again on the way so one of the vet students had to go clean it out before the consultant would let Tuppy get back in it to go home; not only was she really skinny but one of the students said she found a lump in her abdomen which was later discovered to be a stool [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img] , the consultant said she has small kidneys and when the student was giving her her vaccination she was pronounced to have tough skin that made the needle hard to put in. And she shed all over the place because she was so petrified.
