I saw a lot of cat owners here suggested blackwood.
Went for cat food shopping yesterday but couldn't find any.
End up buying nutrience.

Any place that sell blackwood in Bangi/Ampang/Sepang?

Edit: Has anyone bought from http://www.petsfood.com.my/ before?

Thanks!

I am feeding my cat Blackwood kitten. Is it considered as good quality dry food?

Yes, my cat has access to clean drinking water at all times. However, most of the time, I would need to coax her to drink, else she will not drink


On a separate question, is it okay to put catnip into the water bowl?

Yeah, Blackwood is good.

I never have problem with cat refuse to drink though. Some of my cats that more active will drinking more than the ones less active. I use filtered water.

Alright, with the cost of living and the GST looming around the corner,
I am thinking to mix my cat diet between BW, and a lower range cat food.

Can anyone suggest which is the best options amongst these brands : Whiskas, Friskies, SmartHeart, proDiet

Today my cat vomitted 2 times after I feed him Whiskas Mackerel (dry and wet) both.. He vomit all out.. Is it serious? Need to visit vet? Is it recommended to feed again? Scared he hungry..

I'm not an expert on this but try change food first. If your cat still vomiting after changing the food, bring your cat to vet. If there is blood in vomit, bring your cat to vet asap.

You can read this article, might be useful.

Thanks for suggestion.. luckily no blood.. he literally vomit out all the food he consumed.. shall try out Blackwood brand

Hmm what food do you usually give your feline? i.e. before you switched to Whiskas Mackerel ?
I think it could be due to a sudden change in the cat's diet. Any change in the cat's diet would need to be done gradually.

perhaps you may want to fed your feline the usual diet, and mix it with the new diet.


Just my two cents.

All along Whiskas Mackerel.. i think just now after makan he too playful already then vomit out
feel like trying out Blackwood also since strong recommendation..

^ LOL if that is the case, then okay la

I'd like to bring back to my earlier questions :

As far as I know of, Whiskas and Friskies are not recommended..

Anyway I shall quote :

Most likely.

I've never heard of the last two, but I personally would not touch Whiskas or Friskies. Those are considered to be the "mcdonald's" of cat food. if you wouldn't eat mcdonald's every day, why would you feed your cat that?

try proformance or starpro instead of whiskas/friskies/smartheart/prodiet

u can trying mixing the brands with bw, but if they vomit, then stop. stick to one brand only at a time.

do you all have to clear the eye gunk from yr cats like every 2 days ?

no

No because my cat eyes don't have gunk. The only time I ever need to clean their eyes when my cats got Cat Flu. How bad the "gunk" is? How old is your cat? Basically if it looked out of the ordinary, it always good idea to consult the vet.

Thanks for the replies
It is certainly heartwarming to have others who are helpful,
it makes the task of caring for my feline easier.

I concur with the notion that what's matter is the ingredients, rather than the brand.

So I make it my point to check on the ingredients.

I have checked and noticed that both Whiskas and Friskies contain by-products.
ProDiet, on the other hands, do not. However, it contains rice and corn.

Link to the product : http://www.prodiet.com.my/products/Kitten#tabs-2

I am now mixing it with the BW balance that I have, and will switched fully to ProDiet soonest.
For one, ProDiet is available at most major stores (yeah, yeah, so that makes it commercial), so it is convenient to purchase. Else my cat would be starving

I also give her access to water, and wet food (Morge) to supplement her diet.
And exercise too, we enjoy the time we spent playing with her.

Thanks for the notion on proformance or starpro, but then, I can't quite find it in outlets, and the specialty pet shops also v hard to find.

my cats don't like prodiet coz the kibbles kinda dry. u can try tho, good luck

I would avoid byproducts as well
You want real protein.
