Hey Lemmy! Pick your brains?

Have got three cats that need feeding - from LR, Madeline, Stephanie and Tuxie. I've always tried to buy cat food which isn't owned by companies who are complete bastards, which is tricky since Nestle own so many of them. They've been on the Royal Canin for many years, but I see that's owned by Mars and I'm trying to cut back on "buying American" at the moment. Was wondering if any of you have reasonable suggestions for alternatives?

  • available in the UK

  • not manufactured in companies descending into fascism

  • certainly not manufactured by bloody Nestle, cut all of their shit out of my life a long time ago

  • ideally, low carbon and ethically made? I realise that's a really tough ask for cat food.

They're adult cats with no special needs, and also extremely unfussy eaters.

Perhaps something like could work for you?: https://www.aniforte.co.uk/products/barf-complete-cat-raw-food-supplement-100g (I dont know anything about this company or its quality, but I get something similar with an Australian company)

You dont need to feed them raw meat, you can cook it, and just add that supplement to make up for missing nutrients?

Yeah, doesn't look good as a food name, is it some kind of weird German translation?
