Well we told you in our last posty dat we were puttin’ Buddy thru a 30 day challenge with some new noms. It’s called Holistic Blend. And we innerduced you to da handsum Buddy so dat even our new furiends wuld know him. We’ll be writin’ a 3 post series durin’ da month of March, startin’ with this one. As we told ya’ in our last posty we received da noms fur Buddy free of charge as part of da Chewy Blogger Program.

Chewy is not responsible for the content of our post and we only bring products we think would be of interest to you our readers and friends.
So our furst posty in this series is posed to be about our furst impressions of da food. So, even afur receivin’ da bag, mommy checked out da Holistic Blend web site and Chewy’s infurmation on it. They have kibble furmulas fur doggies and kitties. Naturally we chose da kitty furmula fur Buddy. It’s called All Life Stages Chicken and Salmon Formula and comes in two sizes, 3 lbs. and 10 lbs.. Well ifin you kuldn’t tell by da fotos, Buddy like sis Lexi and me is a big kitty boy so we got da 10 lb. bag as he usually eats 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 pounds a month. Aside from Buddy getting’ it fur meals, mommy thought we kuld keep a little fur maybe sum treats.
So when da bag arrived from Chewy mommy kuldn’t wait to check it out. Da bag is quite sturdy and has a resealable opening to help keep it fresh. When mommy was settin’ it up fur fotos, me was really innersted in checkin’ it out fur meself. Right on da front of da bag they list da “good” ingredients inside and what’s not in it. It contains Chicken meal as da furst ingredient, millet, wild salmon, cranberries, apples and cinnamon. It does not have corn, beet pulp, wheat, BHT, BHA or Ethoxyquin. It also does not contain carageenan or da gums. Mommy’s not crazy ‘bout “meal” bein’ da furst ingredient, but was happy to see dat it didn’t have da other controversial ingredients.
Da next step was to open da bag and check it out. It’s been a while since we’s had any kibble in da house so mommy furgot ‘bout how strong they can smell. It doesn’t stink, but it does have a very strong attracting odor. Me can attest to dat. Me was stickin’ me’s nose as close to da bag as mommy wuld let me. Da kibble itself is small and shaped kind of like a solid triangle. So mommy took a little out and put it in a treat baggy fur later and then took da big bag up to Buddy fur more fotos. And of course so he kuld start da challenge. Me will let Buddy tell ya’ what his furst impressions were now.
Buddy: Y thank ya’ Dezi. Ya’ know my pops usually keeps my foods in da bottom cabinet so it was purretty strange to see da bag in da middle of da floor. But I was sure interested in checkin’ it out. Since your mommy had opened it, I kuld smell it purrmeatin’ thru da bag. I may not have as good of manners as you and Lexi, but even when your mommy opened da bag I didn’t immediately jump in. But when your mommy took a few pieces out and put ‘em down fur me I kuldn’t gobble ‘em up fast enuff, flashy box or not. After those few pieces, pops put da bag away and said I’d start da challenge da next meownin’ at breakfast. I really kuldn’t wait. So all in all, I’d say my furst impressions was all paws up.
Thanks Buddy, we sure hope yous enjoyin’ ‘em. Mommy will be checkin’ in with you and mr. W thru out da month to see how it’s goin’. So there ya’ have it folks. Furst impressions are dat Buddy is fur sure innerested in eatin’ ‘em and da resealable bag fur freshness is always welkum. As me sed earlier, we’ll keep ya’ posted on how it’s goin’. As always, check out Chewy fur all your pets needs. They have great prices, speedy and free over $49.00 shipping and pawsum customer service peeps. Now me’s gunna go see ifin mommy will give me a kupple to try out.

I never heard of that brand either. We buy the small bags so they don’t go bad but if he eats 8 lbs in a month, he’ll eat it all up. Sometimes I also decide I don’t like something and TW has to give the rest of the bag away.

I’ve always had trouble with big bags because it gets stale before they eat it all. I buy the 4 to 5 pound bags instead for three cats.I hate spending the extra money but I also hate throwing food away.

We can’t believe how little other cats eat parently. When me was little and wuld only eat kibble me used to go thru 15 pounds a month. When mommy finally got me to eat canned noms too me kuld get by on an 8 pound bag of kibble a month. So da way we see it is dat this 10 pound bag is a month and a week of food fur Buddy. and it shuldn’t go bad afur then. Ifin it does, dat’s sumfin’ readers shuld fur sure know ’bout.
Luv ya’

Our three boys get two 5.5 ounce cans of wet food each day spread between them. They get one can in the morning and one in the evening. Frankie and Puck eat most of it and the first one done takes over Chris’s bowl because he just nibbles at it a little. He waits for the dry food.

Oh Meow Sis Lexi lost a lot of weight when she got da CKD, but even still she usually eats 6 ounces at each meal (2 times a day). We don’t eat kibble any more, and me mostly eats da freeze dried raw, of which me eats a cup to a cup and a half at each meal. We know we’s big kitties, but we just never realized how little regular sized kitties ate. regular size kitties, MOL me can’t believe me just sed dat. Do they get unlimited kibble? Is dat why Chris waits fur it?

I give them freeze dried raw as a treat but I should give them more of that and less kibble. I also do not give them unlimited kibble and Chris will stand next to his empty bowl (or near empty) and stare me down.
