Hot Dish Review

It’s time to catch up with The Bunny….pussies gotta eat too! Here’s what fills her bowls these days.

Although she just had two extractions, she loves her Prescription Diet dry kibble (t/d, ironically for dental health). Of course, she also gets a little treat in the morning and another at night….just 1/3 can of Fancy Feast. Like fast food for cats, its nutritional merits are probably pretty low. Ingredients include wholesome poultry broth, chicken, and liver but then quickly go downhill with scary stuff like meat by-products and wheat gluten.

Made by Nestle Purina Petcare, the can claims “Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures substantiate that Fancy Feast provides complete and balanced nutrition for the growth and maintenance of cats.” Well, there you go.

Am I a bad mother? Truth is, I feel like she eats such a small quantity of Fancy Feast that it isn’t detrimental to her health. But that’s like saying it’s OK to smoke crack, as long as it’s just a puff or two.

I think we’ll switch to organic, minimally processed canned food treats or meat baby food (Seriously, I saw an old lady at Publix buying it for her cats. The only ingredient in the beef is beef….can’t get simpler than that!)

Although I’ve been accused of having the morals of an alleycat (how charmingly retro!), The Bunny is a sweet thing and deserves the very best!
