It costs me $5 a week to feed both my fully grown (one 35kg the other 25-30 kilo - she hasn't been weighed for a while...) alaskan malamutes. We have fosters too and then it costs $8 a week to buy 2 boxes instead of one.

RIP GARP Cat, I really don't have any words to say that could possibly comfort you in your loss. I am crying after just reading you msg. Lots of purrs & kisses (which is lots and lots and lots since I have 6 at the moment) from putty tats and I hope he went peacefully and with as little pain as possible

I wanted to teach my two how to "talk" but instead, I found a way to get Slick to howl. If I stand there with a squeeky toy and just squeek it over and over and over again, after a little while he'll start howling :rolleyes: I never realised what a loud howl he has until that point - the only other times he's howled is when I've left him outside overnight (IE at a caravan park where he's not allowed in the caravan).

My two get 3 chicken frames each at night and a couple of handfuls of dry food (pedigree PAL or Supercoat - whichever is on sale) in the mornings. They also get tonnes of table scraps.....both LOVE cheese.

I can't say for my dogs - cause my puppy is still that, a puppy....but I can certainly vouch for cats. I have four cats and there is definately the dominate male thing happening. He eats before any of the others and then the dominate female eats...then the other male and female get whatever is left over. Although sometimes they all just dive on in at once. but usually there is definately a pecking order.

Oh you poor thing, it's the one thing I am terrified of with my two Alaskan Malamutes....The gobble down their meals so fast it really worries me at times....we started feeding them their chicken frames still frozen, that's slowed them down heaps and my puppy isn't getting the hiccups quiet so much now (and now when she does get the hiccups, it's cause she's been in eating the cat litter again so you know to push her away when she tries getting up to give you kisses! LOL)

My 3 year old dog is 15.5 years old....5.9 years younger than the average dogs his age.

I feed my mallies Chicken frames, dry food, raw bones from the butcher and table scraps (never cooked bones)...never had a single problem from either of them not eating though... ...HOWEVER, my youngest cat stopped eating last saturday and I've only managed to get a teaspoon of food into her since then and she's gotten VERY VERY VERY thin and sickly looking - she'll be being taken to the vet if she doesn't start eating soon (I'm waiting until I have the chance to go shopping cause I brought a different dry food and I thought she may not like this new dry food - am gonna see if she starts eatting again when I buy the proper stuff - if she doesn't then it's vet visit time!)
