I don't remember if anyone had started a thread about this, but since I just picked up two 17-lb. bags of Science Diet food for my two cats (which will last them about six months), I thought I'd post a reminder to remember your pets as you're stocking up on preps. Six months worth of cat food only cost me $60. I figure most pet owners won't want to abandon their furry friends if times get tough, but I wouldn't be surprised to see more stuff like this if people don't plan ahead for their pets:
I would just start working a more human foods into their diet now, so they aren't reliant on some special formula in the future.
Cats have a much more specialized diet than dogs, so human food might not be as good for them. But with food running just about $10 a month, stocking up (provided you plan ahead) shouldn't be a big issue. The problem will be if people don't plan ahead.
You don't need to feed any special foods. For most cats, eating a wet diet will keep them properly hydrated, which in turn means their urine is dilute, which means there's less chance of things going wrong. Wet food can be either canned
My cats won't eat wet food. I've tried it several times, and they won't touch it. Dry food is a heck of a lot cheaper. And my cats always have water, so there's no chance they'll become dehydrated. I've never heard of cats not being properly hydrated if they have a constant water supply.
