I am getting in a faf about biscuits! I dont know what is best to feed my indoor lad (2.5yrs).... I want to feed him a complete biscuit (he wont eat wet food at all) that is good for his coat quality etc and importantly helps keep litter tray smells to a minimum. I recently changed him to Hills natures best, but think maybe its not quite so good in the smells department..... He is a maine coon so long haired. :shocked:
What are your thoughts ?
Also similar question to kitten food, only this one is shorthaired and loves wet food as well. At the moment I am allowing her to free feed on Hills kitten biscuits and then giving her half a sheba prime cuts in the evening as a treat (I know its a complimentary food).
thanks, nikkix :briggin:

Royal Canin do a special blend for Maine Coons - I don't know how it compares to regular but I would assume it has something extra for their coat and something for furballs. It is on offer at the moment in PAH - £9.99 for 2kg - down from £14.99 :) http://www.petsathome.com/find/category-is-1+cat/category-is-1f+food/category-is-1f01+dry+food/product-is-12155m- worth stocking up at that price :)
Orijen (from zooplus) is the best dry food on the market as it has no grains so would help the poo situation :evillaugh: (it says it is suitable for cats and kittens)
No experience with kitten food.

Hi I have looked at this before, I think its just bigger kibbles really.......? Anyone know if Im right? We do give simba defurrum treats to help with his furballs - it works very well.
Ah, biscuits that both my kittens and cats can eat might be easier - can see they will jsut both eat each others biscuits otherwise!

I personally think that RC are the best dry food, Why not just go for a normal rc biscuit

I have used RC Maine Coon. It does seem to contain something to control hairballs and I like the fact that due to the size of the kibbles, the cat has to chew it - thereby using her otherwise redundant teeth. so yes, I think it is different to normal RC.
