Cityscape Bliss // UK lifestyle blog based in Birmingham: Feline Foodology: The Starter Pack by CatPacks

Today's Feline Foodology is a little different - it's an introduction rather than a full-in-your-face review. An introduction to a proper cat food & how to start exploring on your own to be exact. I have known that the food I'm feeding to my cats is not the greatest for a while. At first I tried reading up on cat food and cat food ingredients online - it was all vet talk and dead complicated so I ended up switching to a completely wrong food (which made Cookie feel absolutely meh to say the least). It wasn't until recently when I came across Jenny's book Cats off the Carbs which explains what to look for in a proper cat food in a way every Earthling (and their cat) understands.

To differentiate natural foods from your regular carb-packed salt-infused foods here's a simple formula from the book I've been using. A good cat food is

High in animal protein

Moderate in fat

Low in carbohydrates

To kick off your search, you can get a curated Food Starter Pack from CatPacks. It contains 10 wet pouches/tins and a bag of treats all selected with the above formula for good cat food in mind and made by independent British brands.

What are you feeding your cats at the moment?

Have you ever tried reading the labels & deciphering what they mean?

💭 Totally not sponsored - Jenny was kind enough to share her book Cats off the Carbs & the Food Starter Pack with me (thank you!) however all the picky feline habits, beany toesies and stinky toots after eating too much prawn treats are our very own.

💭 I don't claim to be an expert in cat food - all my knowledge is gathered from Jenny's book, the internets and my own personal experience, however I'm genuinely hoping this series will help others understand the importance of proper cat food.
