Hi, Kaorumirai --
Before you consider adopting more cats, I would encourage you to learn more about cat nutrition.
Although rice and fish are not bad for cats' health, they are far from a complete diet. The Whiskas and Friskies are
extremely low quality cat food. Feeding your cats these brands of cat food would be similar to feeding a child nothing but KFC or McDonalds -- in other words, junk food. Cats and people who eat nothing but junk food will never look or feel their best, and they will probably die early deaths from liver and kidney disease.
Please, talk to your local veterinarian or search the forums here on Petfinder about higher quality foods. We all want your kitties to be healthy and happy!
This is from an article on
www.answers.com, talking about the Whiskas and Friskies brands of cat food:
Quote:
Both brands are incredibly low quality. Both the dry food is packed with grains and cereals that offer no nutritional value whatsoever to a cat or kitten, and both dry and wet of both Friskies and Whiskas have a very low meat content. Typically Whiskas' foods only include 4% meat.
Kittens and cats are strict carnivores. They get all their nutritional needs from meat. Kittens in particular, need a lot of Protein and Fat in order to grow and develop in a healthy manner. Kittens need twice as much Protein as an adult cat does.
The best cat foods are the ones with a very high meat content (labelled as Chicken, Turkey, Tuna, etc.) as the FIRST ingredient with no grains, wheat, or corn. Be sure to keep away from Ingredients such as grain, corn, wheat gluten, various sugars as they serve no nutritional value to the cat whatsoever. Corns and grains pack the food with carbohydrates, which is essentially cheap filler. Cats are not designed to digest such a high number of carbohydrate (they only need 3-4% of their daily intake).
