Ah thanks for the input. So far I have no issues with Wono. Kitten likes it. But I note that there's salt in it. But not the top 5 list. Somewhere at the bottom. I just thought of switching brands once I'm done with wono.

I'm trying to scrutinise the ingredient list now as per your info above.

Oh, what about Instinct by Nature's Variety Original Kitten Grain? The first 5 ingredients seems okay -


Chicken, Turkey Meal, Salmon Meal, Menhaden Fish Meal, Egg Product, Chicken Fat (Preserved With Mixed Tocopherols And Citric Acid), Tapioca, Peas, Chicken Meal, Dried Tomato Pomace, Natural Flavor, Lamb Meal, Montmorillonite Clay, Carrots, Apples, Cranberries, Vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate, Niacin Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin A Supplement, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex, Riboflavin Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Folic Acid, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Biotin), Taurine, Potassium Chloride, Choline Chloride, Minerals (Zinc Proteinate, Iron Proteinate, Copper Proteinate, Manganese Proteinate, Sodium Selenite, Ethylenediamine Dihydriodide), Salt, Freeze Dried Chicken, Freeze Dried Chicken Liver, Pumpkinseeds, Freeze Dried Chicken Heart, Dried Bacillus Coagulans Fermentation Product, Rosemary Extract.

where do you buy instinct in msia?

looking @ the list, sure is very expensive.
it is grain free level, and hv plenty of meat source.

if compare to wono is like night and day, i dont hv to write further as u can see for yourself.

*******

oh ok available @ plc.

plc these days import more of these expensive food. i seldom visit, thts y tak tau.. lol...

almost like acana, think it is more expensive since sold by plc.

My personal POV is that too much of all these "meals" like chicken meal, turkey meal, fish meal isn't that good either since it's made from byproducts after being processed for human consumption. But having said that, Instinct by Nature's Variety Original Kitten Grain that you shared is grain free which is good.

I'll just share the 2 brands that I used to feed my cat:
Fish 4 Cats
Ingredients: Salmon Meal (33%), Fresh Salmon (22%), Sweet Potato (17%), Cassava (13%), Salmon Oil (8%), Fish Digest (2.5%), Sunflower Oil, Yeast Extract, Malt Extract, Pea Fibre, Dried Algae, Dried Cranberries, Minerals

Meowing Heads
Ingredients: 77%* Salmon, Chicken, Fish & Egg includes – Salmon *(30%), Dried Chicken *(22%), Dried Fish *(13%), White Rice, Potato Starch, Pea Starch, Chicken *(7%), Egg *(5%), Salmon Oil, Oats, Chicken Fat, Vegetable Fibre, Seaweed, Tomato, Carrot, Cranberry, Minerals

If I recall, they both cost around RM70+ for 1.5kg pack. But as basilisk said, it's really about how much budget you can spend on cat food so always read the label and pick what's best within your budget.

Hmmm I checked out Acana or Orijen. But I think quite recently there was some class action law suit against those brands for allegedly causing DCM? :/ the more I read the more I pening.

commercial pet food is a very lucrative biz..

this is the latest update that i can find..

https://www.petful.com/food/orijen-lawsuit-2018/

according to aafco..

https://www.aafco.org/Consumers/What-is-in-Pet-Food

if it is not stated as by-products, it doesnt contain by-products.

the term 'meal' refers to it being cooked, and grounded to granular form.
so it is a 'dry' ingredient.

happen to pass by plc, so went in to have alook.

saw this small bag of instinct 2.2kg?
thts super expensive.. wow lol..

thing is i noticed on both side of the bags, there r plenty of
small perforation.
this is purposely done during packaging, to release trapped air.

to me, this is totally unacceptable, bcos outside air can easily go inside the bag as well.
for this super expensive priced food.

can accept if its power cat or misha.. but this instinct...
plenty of other brands can do perfect vacuum pack, saw the hk based cindy recipe..

whoaaaa.. thanks for the heads up, will be mindful of this... :/

Anyways, I've decided to try on Carnilove Salmon and Kitten for now. Will be getting the 6kg pack. Probably from there, to slowly upgrade instead of jumping straight to origen/acana.

No one feeds their cats Blackwood anymore?

these days blackwood packaging is like local repack? slap on with sticker.
white tong slap with sticker..

to save cost? import bulk in guni?

any cat lovers here with allergic reaction to cats? what do you do to counter it?

I don't know anyone with this problem personally but I have found few people on the YouTube who allergic to cat but fostering or owning a cat/kitten. They dealing this by taking medicine. Still I think it's depends on how severe your allergic reaction is. What kind of allergic reaction you get, I'm kinda curious?

its not me but my son. he will sneeze very frequently for few hours after coming in contact with cat

In that case, I think it is better to avoid having cat at all. The best way is to get advice from doctor. Some people can suppress their allergic reaction by taking meds everyday. I don't know whether it is good idea for your son to take meds everyday.

Was looking to adopt this beautiful cat from shelter but she had a bald patch on her head with like dry skin, anyone know what this is?

Most likely nothing. Healed wound maybe.

My neighbor cat, her fur wet like that everyday. I suspect she lick her fur but why wet so serious?

When i feed her, her saliva so obvious on the floor.

Maybe feeling itchy on her body, something under the fur bothering her, that's why lick too much until wet. Try groom her using a brush. Maybe can help her relief her from the itchy sensation. One of my boy like this. He is curious boy like to investigate every nook and cranny of the house. Inviting ants or other small animal that bother him.

Do you mean drolling or just wet floor. If the latter that's normal.

hey guys, is "Greens" a good brand?



INGREDIENTS:
Chicken meal, Fish meal, Brown rice, Yellow corn Dairy, Wheat, Dried yeast, Egg powder, Animal fat(Preserved by Vitamin E), Vitamins, Minerals, Flavor.

cant say it is good or no good..

wht you can do is to find out, what other brands tht is the same price as greens...

:::::::::

ok i jz checked... 8kg greens is rm70 or abit lower...

so this works out to be about rm8.75 / kg..

many other brands around these price..
u wana compare oso pening...

if you belief/trust the ingredient listed, it looks better than many others..
this greens, no state manufacture by who on the pack, i think frm china. only the local importer name on the pack.

can oso compare the smell of the food.. can tell the difference..
