Hills Cat versus IAMS

[smurfchops]

I have been giving my cat Hills Senior Light dry biscuits which he loves. However is IAMS Senior Cat just as good ? Is it best to buy Senior Light ?

When I got adopted by my first cat (a grumpy old man) I was told that they had been feeding him the Hills food, when he was found as a stray he was very ill. But I found it difficult to get locally so I changed to IAMS and that was guzzled down. The vet assured me that they were both good quality food.

Frankie may be a tom cat but he eats like a pig or a labrador. He has been on a course of steroids that gave him the munchies. He is 'cuddly' and I was thinking of getting him some low calorie cat food. I have tried feeding him less at each mean and feeding him less often - but he mugs his sister for her food.

They are frustrating furry monsters.

I feed my little man whiskers dry daily. He has various tins of fish throughout the week. The vet said that was perfectly adequate.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I would always choose Iams out of preference but if he is looking good on Hills it must suit him.

Our cat doesn't like Iams, but does really well on Purina 1.

He seemed to perk up after a few days on it.

These two reprobates have been having iams since first arrival but it has made them mental and so I have bought some small tins of various to make them feel less agile and to protect what is left of my Christmas Tree grrrrrrrrrrr

He is nine and a big boy, a ginger moggie. Vet said he isn't overweight, just a big cat. He has given me Hills Senior Light which moggie loves, wondered if I could save some money with IAMS .. possibly not worth it, he loves the Hills anyway.

My cats love FIT32 from Royal Canin. It's a bit more expensive so I tend to buy it when it's on offer - but I would rather buy a bag of good stuff which they will eat, than a bag which they get bored with part-way through. I buy senior (mine are!) - but they don't like Lite versions. Purina One is also liked!
My guys are 5.5 kilos each - big builds, not fat.
I also buy Hills t/d from the vets, to help keep down the tartar on their teeth.
They have two pouches per day of good quality cat foot (tends to be Felix or Whiskas), then biscuit for dessert.
