We have been advised to change Jasper's diet. He is marginally overweight, and as he isn't a particularly active cat, he needs to be careful. He doesn't play, he would much rather sit down and read than play with a toy.
Needless to say the vet recommended an expensive food that is only available from registered vets. Not impressed, and not going to fall for that we went to a local pet food warehouse and got chatting to staff. One, who has 5 cats, agreed with some of the vet's analysis and our own ideas that Jasper should be having more wet food, and less grain-based dry food. We spent ages looking through the options and decided on a couple of options (to give him some variation).
Back home the Gorse Fox cracked open a spreadsheet and started doing various calculations based on Jasper's weight, his recommended calorie intake, and the calorific content of the food we have selected. We now have a new regime planned... let's hope he likes it!
As the Gorse Fox writes this, the Instant Pot has just beeped to tell him the gammon is cooked. He'll let that stand and then tonight we'll have that with some eggs and fries.
