jayci Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I have recently heard a story where a guy buys cat food biscuts, grinds them up and uses it as fish food. The guy is saying that the tradional fish food and cat food biscuts are made of the same stuff. Can anyone confirm this story as true?

jude Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I don't know if its true or not but the way my cats hoover up spilled fish food, I've often entertained the thought that its only cat food rolled out flat :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowfax Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 my cats love the stuff & can only hope i spill some for them to eat!! & i keep it up high otherwise they would scoff it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 My cat looks at fish food like its utter muck, however he is an Ocicat and thinks he is the most important thing out :roll: :lol: But then the little creep will happily wrap his lips around a water rat :roll: :-? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazza404 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 One of my cats will do almost anything for food, every time i feed my fish shes there and always gets in the way somehow, once she knocked over a large container of flake onto carpet which wasnt too entertaining to clean up. She also sits ontop of one of my tanks when im at work, however the other day when i was doing some in tank gardening she jumped up onto the edge and stuck her paw out to walk along the lid (which was absent) she got as far as putting a leg in before scrambling off i only wish i had a video camera on me no fish were harmed they were also laughing at the cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 lol my cat's done a similar thing before, she always sits on the light of one of my tanks and she leaped up only to find that the lid wasn't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I believe the ingredients are similar but the ratios of vitamins, fats, etc differs. Plus I doubt catfood has colour enhancers in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayci Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 thank-you caryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I heard about it a year or so ago. I gave it a go just to see what would happen. The fish were more than happy to eat it but it left a light film of oil on the surface of the water which I took to mean a high fat/oil content.

Southerrrngirrl Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 It sure smells a lot like cat food. And my cats think so too, especially my big black & white boy, he looooves the stuff especially Wardleys Shrimp Pellets. He knows when I'm feeding the fish, he knows the sound of them moving in the little plastic container and comes running and demands that I feed him some too. My girls aren't overly fussed on them, but our new addition, another boy (which I have been meaning to post a pic of!) managed to find a stray pellet the other day, so now he keeps sniffing the floor around the tank scrounging for more.. so I take it that he's into them too.

markoshark Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Well, that would either make very expensive cat food, or dammed cheap fish food. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
