Applaws wet cat food is very good.
most of the Applaws tins I have looked are ony complementary so you will need to ensure they eat decent biscuits as well.
However the Canagen tins, which look similar, are complete - so prefereable.
Indeed - it is good practice to not feed a cat only one type of any food.
Mine get applaws tins of chicken as a treat.
Its Russian roulette with taking insurance or not - ours racked up a £6k bill at Fitzpatrick referrals for a broken rear leg. Petplan coughed up the whole lot.
Don't leave a roast chicken out on the kitchen top or cooker.
Several other things:
Regular program injections or spot treatments for fleas make a big difference, however flea collars and flea powder don't work.
Get the cat chipped, unfortunately it doesn't make them go any faster (however they might give better MPG) but if they go awol there is a good chance they can be identified. You can also get cat flaps that read your cats chip and unlock only for them which prevents other cats coming into your house.
Cats will kill small animals. They're little carnivore hunters who simply "dont do the whole vegan thing". A cat that meets a small animal will normally do a passable impression of Michael Madsen in Reservoir dogs only without the can of petrol and steelers wheel soundtrack...Expect to be left or presented with "gifts" of whole bodies or perhaps a kit of parts. If you are very lucky they may keep their prey alive and bring it into the house and release the rodent (or bird, frog etc)...with injuries that vary from mild psychological trauma as they hide under the cooker to the rodent equivalent of the end of the Kill Bill Japanese restaurant scene that greets you as you walk downstairs in the morning. Invest in some patience and a good humane mousetrap for the former and carpet cleaner for the latter.
They will just kill rats, my advice is make a big fuss of them when they do this if they do it right (full on kitty Leon-style uber-cool assassin : all business, high speed and no wasted moves) or get to the vet pronto if it goes wrong (v. rare).
