Hills Science Plan Feline maintenence.

Advantages: complete food, seems well balanced, easy to store and serve
Disadvantages: Can be addictive, causing cats who snack to gain weight, High initial outlay.

...I first started feeding my cats Hills Science Plan Feline Maintenence when there was on offer in Petsmart for a free bag in exchange for empty tins of cat food. This was a very good offer, but now one of my cats will eat basically nothing but Hills. While it seems like a lot to shell out - £11 for a 2Kg sack, if you follow the recommended feeding plan, the daily cost is less than feeding tinned food. The food will keep for a while once opened as long as stored in dry cool conditions, and is easy to handle being just pellets. The recent replacement of the wax paper bag with a resealable top plastic one is good as it keeps the food from picking up moisture. To sum up - the food is good and well liked by both my cats and the neighbour's one who sneaks in from time to time; just stick to the recommended feeding quantities if...

Review of Hills Feline

A FESTIVAL OF FELINES!

Advantages: Gorgeous items that are a little bit different.
Disadvantages: Some items are quite expensive for what they are.

...to allow up to 28 days ? this seems to be a standard time frame with a lot of catalogues. The delivery charge is set at £4.50 regardless of the size or cost of your order (so obviously ordering one cheaper item would not be economical!) BUT for larger/heavier items requiring special delivery there is an extra charge of £4.00. They will also deliver overseas but there are minimum order values for this depending on the location. It?s also nice to see they offer the usual money back guarantee (or exchange if required) if you?re not satisfied with any items as long as they are returned unused within 28 days ? this is their ?Catisfaction Guarantee?! I think that covers the basic practicalities of the shopping, before I tell you how to get a catalogue it?s worth mentioning the important fact that this company also supports feline welfare...

Review of Cat Out of the Bag

Electro Chic In Black

Advantages: Sumptuous sound, great production, typically offbeat
Disadvantages: An overdone electro beat, corny in places

...and mellow; and as this was a new beginning for the band, with opportunities aplenty provided by an indulgent new record-company, the Stranglers were only too happy to provide that sound. La Folie had sold well throughout continental Europe, particularly in France, where the band had always enjoyed a large following; so with chic sophistication in mind, the Stranglers took themselves off to the ICP recording studios in Brussels to consummate their new association both with CBS and with their new audience, while at the same time remaining mindful of the more diehard fans who were following on, slightly puzzled and more than a little uneasy about where the band was taking them. The result of that consummation was born at the beginning of 1983: an album in trademark black with a panther on the front and titled simply... Feline. And a VERY...

Hill's helped save my cat's life

Advantages: Excellent quality, variety
Disadvantages: Expensive, some varieties are smelly!

...We've fed our three cats Hills Science Diet (adult "light chicken" variety) for as long as I can remember. It feels very expensive (£11-£12 for the 2 kg) but they say when you break down the cost, it's actually not that bad. You can get a better deal if you can afford to buy the largest bags in one go and if you can manage to carry it to the car! :-) But the real reason I'm writing this review is because of a specialty "prescription diet" dry cat food they do called Feline L/D. One of my cats was diagnosed with liver problems just before christmas. A biopsy revealed one of her kidneys was completely gone, and that her liver wasn't functioning properly. This had caused her to lose loads of weight as well as seeming very grouchy and unhappy from day to day. Along with a steroid and syrup medication routine, the vets suggested we...

Review of Hills Feline

Pussy's Prefer It.

Advantages: High nutrition value, aids clean teeth and gums &b the cats love it.
Disadvantages: None that I have found.

...Given that most cat food smells gross before consumption and even worse after consumption I was more than pleased to be given a sample of a dry food that was supposes to do neither when I first bought a Maine Coon cat. First I must tell you that the cat food reviewed here is Royal Canin Maine Coon 31, which is one of fourteen varieties that make up the Royal Canin feline nutrition range. This range has been specifically tailored to provide the correct nutritional requirements for three species of cat namely Siamese, Persian and Maine Coon, and also to cover foods for baby cats, kittens, indoor cats, mature cats and other types. Should you require further information on one of these foods I suggest you take a look at the Royal Canin website which is full of useful information. You may well ask why I consider that the Maine Coon...

Disadvantages: See review

...teach you how to hunt and showing that she accepts you as a family member? If you scream and jump in the air you may offend your feline companion! Acclimation and daily life ------------------------------ This is probably the most practical section of the book, because it provides all the dos and don’ts of caring for your cat, from kitten through to adulthood, and even for the possibility that you acquire more cats. The beginning of the chapter reads rather like a kitty shopping list with an enormous list of supplies that you require – it will come as no surprise that caring for your cats properly is not cheap! Once again I learnt a lot of things from this chapter – did you know that plastic dishes can give cats acne? No – neither did I! Throughout the narrative of the chapter, the author has highlighted “...

Hills Science Diet & Sens

Advantages: Cats like it, value for money, good for your moggies
Disadvantages: Not usually sold in smaller pet-shops

..., diet and normal) we discovered Hills Sensitive Stomach. Now his stomach is fine - even when he gets stressed after travelling and we can even mix in some other foods now and again as a treat. The pellets are moist unlike the other Science Feline products and contains rice and egg, which helps settle the stomach. At the moment it only comes in one flavour and not available in Senior. You must ensure your cat has access to water when feeding this food (as with any dry food) People say that this is expensive, but we find that one 2kg bag lasts around 10-12 weeks (if not more) and compared to buying separate tins and dry food it works out much cheaper and I feel that you?re feeding your cat better if foods contain less ash and water and more protein. The only disadvantage that I find with Hills is that it only tends to be stocked in...

A FELINE BEAT IN TIFFANY STREET

Advantages: Easy to read, excellent pictures
Disadvantages: Doesn't seem to be in print anymore

...A FELINE BEAT IN TIFFANY STREET Who?d have thought that a 2½ year old would know the art of bribery? Well, just about any parent, that?s who, and the SeasonTicketless household is no different! Come 8pm, which is now the deemed time for tired little girls to be in bed, as opposed to letting them crash out on the sofa, myself and the two girls traipse upstairs to bed. Placing the youngest in her cot with a kiss on the cheek and a bottle of milk, before tucking in the eldest, and repeating the same routine with juice instead of milk and I am quickly trying to sneak out of the room. Despite having achieved tiptoeing at speeds of Linford Christie in his prime, I can guarantee that the cry will go up: ?Story daddy, story!? Not that I mind reading to the kids. To be honest I?ve not really had to read anything out aloud since I was...
