Whiskas and Go cat biscuits haven't been bought here in years as they made my then cat barf them up as soon as he ate them. The issue with the cheap biscuits is that the additives and high proportion of grain in them compared to protein means that they don't agree with a lot of cats.

I can't feed Iams biscuits as they bung up Poppy like concrete.

Have been feeding Royal Canin for a long time now - just paid £39 for a 12kg sack of the "Sensible". That's about 6 months' worth of dry food for my two.

We just need to be careful with Merlot's weight as mentioned before so go cat light or senior is what we normally buy as they are 'supposed' to be lower in fat/calories etc..

My elbow is feeling sorry for itself after I found myself skimming along the road. That brought a sharp end to my self-congratulations for successfully squeezing in the narrow gap between me and a Transit van.

I had new glasses earlier this year and at the bottom I have boosters as my eye muscles are weaker, they are not bi-focals just boosters apparently, going downstairs was a bit odd until I got used to them.

Have a look on Zooplus, Wol. They are much cheaper. Felix AGAIL works out at £3.50 for a dozen pouches, plus they currently have some boxes of 12 on offer at £2.99. Wilkos sometimes do Felix AGAIL at £3.25 a box - as they are doing currently. Tescos are currently doing the boxes of Gourmet Gold at 2 for £8 (they're normally 5.25 a box of 12 tins), which is better than Zooplus right now.

My two won't touch Whiskas LOL...

B and M do boxes of 44 Felix AGAIL for £9.99, and the large packets (180g?) of Dreamies for £2.50.

Yes, you did mention before that Madam was a wee bit inclined to "avoirdupois"...

Just another thing to bear in mind however. We (the branch of CP that I volunteer for) regularly get cats in who are overweight or obese. More often than not, one of the reasons they are overweight is that they have been fed on the cheap biscuits - which are the cat equivalent of McDonalds i.e. very palatable to eat, moreish but not especially healthy. Because the stuff is so palatable, cats do tend to overeat when fed such, especially if free fed.

Might it be worth trying her on a better quality and lower grain content dry to see if it helps?

I've creased some clothes by having them in the tumble dryer too long.

Our cats are being fed on Hills biscuits. The neighbour's cats and the Hedgehogs prefer them.
