I'm quite lucky, in that I live near an organic farm, with nice organic local free-range meat. Being semi-veg I don't eat a lot of meat, but what I do eat seems to be 100 times more ethical than what you get in KFC or Macdonalds.
Now, I've been proper spoiling our cat with all this fresh high quality, well fed, free range, organic meat. As soon as he see's me cooking he starts meowing like mad for some, and being the big softie I am; let him have his way and lavish half my dinner on him.
Problem is, now he's been living the high life of corn-fed chicken and ribeye steak... he won't eat his packet food (Whiskas/felix) anymore, and meows and glares at me until I give him proper meat. I can get him to eat that "encore" packets they do, but they're about 5 times more expensive than other packet food!
Which leads us to a question, just how shite is that stuff they put into packets of cat food? What are we actually doing to our nation of cats? Feeding them cheap, mass-produced low grade meat!? Are the ones that actually eat it, just not tasted proper meat before?
I can't afford these encore packets every time, and I'm getting fed up of expending a good portion of my own dinner every meal. sooo WHAT'S a guy to do?!?
