No it's not super premium
that super premium printed on proformance is just for marketing thinggy. the fact, proformance is standing on the same level as IAMS.
Yes proformance is among the cheapest Premium cat food. but lately very hard to get. i have to switch to Science Plan due to the old petshop will not supply this food anymore.
it's a not bad food anyway...

My case, Eagle Pack is getting harder to get, so I've been using more Orijen.
Then I heard of Evo, which I tried once, but mahal lah...
Now going for Blackwood cuz the volume and price is okay lah.
I think will rotate between Orijen and Blackwood from now on

Yo buddy, may i know what is
'F3 line' means is? and to Elf, may u specific bout neuter/spay the cat benefit was? Sorry to say but isn't its cruel to animal if we neuter them like we have take-off their life as animal?

i mean they couldn't do sex or matting and thats mean is they're missing 'the enjoyable of life'..
p/s: i'm still learning and please tell me more..TQ.

F1, F2, F3, F4 refer to their genetic line.
F1 Bengal is the closest or the first gen from domestic crossing with Asian Leopard Cat (ALC). The F2 and so on are results of more crossing (between Bengal gens) if not mistaken.
Anyway, here's a little explanation about F1-F4 from Wiki:
"The first three filial generations (F1 - F3) of these hybrid animals are referred to as the "foundation" generations. A Bengal cat with an ALC parent is called an F1 Bengal, short for first filial. An F1 then bred with a domestic male yields an F2, or second filial. Kittens from an F2 female and another domestic cat are then termed F3. Kittens from a subsequent F3 mating with a domestic are F4s. The F4 and later generations are considered domestic cats, are designated as Stud Book Tradition (SBT) Bengals, and can be shown and registered. Any SBT Bengal is at least four generations removed from the ALC. Founders (F1-F3) are typically reserved for breeding purposes or the specialty pet home environment.'Shah,
I think in our 1st page, El has listed down the benefits and such about neutering/spaying.
Yes, there is a lot of benefits to neutering/spaying including reducing the risk of cancer, less aggression, more docile, less dominant and fights and so on.
NO, neutering/spaying is NOT cruel. Who said neutering/spaying takes of their life as an animal?
So letting a non neutered cat fight, breed over and over, abandon the kittens and turn old before their time is not cruel?
Sex is only enjoyable to human. Animals have no feelings/desire like humans do, it's pure instinct and nature to them, that is why they do not recognize father, mother, brother or sister when it comes to mating. No, they will not miss 'the enjoyable of life'.
"Akal manusia dikurniakan untuk berfikir, akal binatang tidak"
So never put human feelings or emotions to compare with animals.
