If dogs and cats made dog and cat food...
« on: December 07, 2011, 12:55:36 pm »
Years ago I participated in an online discussion about what cat and dog foods our cats and dogs would buy for themselves.   It was so much fun I decided to start one here!

Since it's dogs and cats I have put the discussion in Coffee Lounge and pointers to it from Dogs and from Cats.  Hope that's okay!



I'll open:

Dogs: fox sh**e, last night's curry and smelly old bone

Cats: mouse.  Every time!
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

Dog Archie, the smelliest thing you can find
Cat - Cleo, dry cat food - very boring but only likes mice to play with and then ignores them once killed.
Life is like a bowl of cherries, mostly yummy but some dodgy bits

Rio (cat) - heads and front legs of all rabbits caught.  Not rats -  leaves them with the rabbit ends for dogs to find, also partial to right half sides of pheasants if freshly caught, and the occasional wing of magpie

Dogs (All) - anything that did move and doesn't any-more (by whatever means - gun, cat or selves), except rats. ::)
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Sheba :dog: anything. except perhaps banana & lettuce (she'll take it, but not eat it. The only two things ever that she won't try!)

:cats: shrews, mice, rats, cheese, chips (yes really!)
and if they made toys, the kittens get hours and hours of fun out of a cardboard box & a toilet roll .... they end up completely shredded

Pig poo, sheep poo, rabbit poo, horse poo, just shovel sh## in a can and they'll be happy :D though they all love fruit and veg. One greyhound is partial to fish but won't eat anything raw (bones etc.) One tiny rescue Yorkie will only eat a bit of whatever we're having(if there are chips he'll come out of his hiding place for them :)) He's still looking for a good home :-*
Bread, ewe nuts, layers pellets, sow rolls all go down the same way!!
