Question 1

What is the ash content

Accepted Answer

Ash content is a huge concern for boy kitties who have urinary tract blockage.  They can only eat canned food with a low ash count.

Question 2

Is Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers basically the same as Fancy Feast broths? Thank you.

Accepted Answer

no, not at all....the gravy lovers are meant to be a meal, whereas the broths are meant to be put on top of dry cat food, kind of like a "bribe" to get your cats to be more enthusiastic about eating the dry food. my younger cat--who is half lynx and eats me out of house and home--gets one can of gravy lovers mixed with an equal part of dry food which helps to fill him up.  my older cat is a rather picky eater...she likes to lick the gravy off of the gravy lovers and leave all the chunky parts behind (which really irritates me!)..the broths are perfect for her because she gets to lick all the broth and doesn't leave a lot behind, if any...the broths have a small amount of solid food in them....just a bit....

Question 3

The instructions say: "Feed an average size cat 1 can per 2.5 pounds of body weight daily." So for a 10-pound cat, you'd feed them about 4 cans/day?

Accepted Answer

How much to feed a cat depends on their age, size, activity level, and whether pregnant or nursing.  Wet food is healthier- dry food can cause crystals or urinary bladder stones especially in males. ( I know from experience. My kitty spent 1 week in the hospital and $4000 later- I was told not to feed him any dry food.) The vet also told me to feed my 12 lb. kitty two 3 oz. cans of food a day.  This amount can be divided into 4 portions.  More than 2 cans, if your cat is not active, will cause weight gain.  Cats love this food and they are experts at manipulation and begging! Keep a watch on their weight. If they are gaining- decrease amount.  If losing weight- slightly increase amount fed.

Question 4

Can I feed cat from the can instead of transferring to the dish?

Accepted Answer

I've done once when I fed a street cat (it was abroad), and I didn't have any bowl or plate. After he ate about half, I decided to feed using a wood branch I picked up from the ground just in case the cat might injure the tongue.
