When Ron and Henry were discharged from the vets on Tuesday, we were given some bags of Royal Canin bikkit for “young neutered males up to 7 years”. They do bikkit for senior cat, baby cat, middle aged cat – for all I know, they do bikkit for cats with no neck who do toad impressions … a limited market, given that our Lilith is probably the only one, but still.
We left the bag in the car, but Pete brought it in on Friday when he returned from their check up (they were pronounced fine, thankyouverymuch for asking), and I thought I’d bung one of these small packets down for them to try.
I can only surmise this biscuit is covered with distilled essence of catnip; there was a most unseemly shoving around the bowl, with Mustrum doing his level best to fend off two completely crazed kittens who wanted more More MORE. This small packet disappeared really rather rapidly, and I shall be wary of putting out any more, less an expensive addiction ensues.

Royal Canin is what I usually give Freya.
I used to give her Iams until I read that they deliberately damage animals in the name of “tests” to improve their product.
Royal Canin reckon that neither they, nor the suppliers of their ingredients, do any animal testing, hence my interest in this brand.
Royal Canin make several varieties and if your feline family likes the variety you are giving them, then there’s no need to change, but Freya is a bit difficult so I tried her on the Exigent variety. She likes that a lot, so it’s worth bearing in mind if you have a fussy pussy as this variety is designed for difficult cats.

Heh – we bought cat treats, as we thought it would be a nice family game – occasional treats for the kitties.
Ho, no. Open the packet and the kitties are biting your arm off to swallow the cat treat as quickly as felinely possible, and once it is gone, they hollered for more.
Now they demand treats whenever they hear rustling.
Kitteh happiness fail!
