Title: Anyone buy tinned salmon for their cats?
Post by: Mark on April 24, 2009, 18:55:49 PM: Alice loves red salmon but won't touch pink. For months, it has been on offer everywhere - BOGOF or 1/2 price so works out £1.50 a tin. She gets I get 4 portions out of a small can so not too bad. Today in Tesco, it was back up to £3 a can - there is no way I am paying that. Then I saw Glenryk Medium red Salmon for £1.40 (I have to admit, I missed the word medium) - when opened it, it looks like Pink salmon but maybe a hint more pink.
I thought Alice would be the judge - she sniffed it and walked off in disgust :tired:

I don't buy it for mine, but I buy it for myself and judging by the way they act when I'm trying to eat it it would go down a treat with them - shame :innocent:

None of mine will eat Salmon , only Winston will eat a tiny bit of Tuna .
Only Winston likes cod loin -none of the others will eat fish -he also likes prawns (none of the others do ) but only m+s ones !

Some of mine love it and some not....Is the red dearer than the pink? I know they prefer the pricier one! :sneaky:

Red is about double the price of pink. Tinned salmon reminds me of Sunday afternoons when Grandma and Granddad cam over. Tinned salmon & cucumber sandwiches followwed by French Fancies or Battenberg (I hate both of them :sick: )

We don't need that with Grandparents do we :evillaugh:

Mine are long gone (20+years)

One thing I am wary of is I read somewhere that tinned salmon has struvite in so can cause obvious issues. I don't give her much though.
