What is the average amount you folks spend on food for your cats per week? I am spending around £35/£40 per week on just food for 2 cats, is that alot? or is that about average...(See previous post on this thread as to what food I feed mine...) It's just reading various blogs online it seems other people seem to spend a fraction of that amount... Would welcome some feedback on here.. Thanks xx

I spend a little more than that a month but I've got 4 cats - it costs me around £18 for a month's worth of raw and £30 a month for Bozita (they have 50:50 each day). Can't really work out the dry but an £18 bag of Orijen lasts more than a month so it's not too bad.

You can get Hi-Life in most supermarkets - they do an 60% meat range which is pretty good I think.

I know this is a bit late, but in case it helps, here are some notes on cost for my crew.

I currently spend about 90-110 US dollars per month on 100% raw food. I believe that is around 55-61 pounds a month. I feed 4 cats right now. I feed whole foods for the most part, and buy about 80% of my meat just from various local human food stores. I order a bit now and again from a raw pet food company, but usually just whole meats or organs, not any of the premixed items (which drives my per pound cost up). If I am feeling productive, I will order large cases from a local food wholesaler, but that requires more time and storage room.

I buy a lot of cornish hen, stocking up when they are on sale, I do a bit of all natural chicken, rabbit (have to order that usually), quail, and sometimes I order mice and chicks, but those are a small percentage.

I feel like I am doing really good when I can average under 2 dollars a pound for meat, that's how I tend to gauge what I am buying for them. I do spend a lot more on quail and rabbit, but they only get that about once or twice a week.

My husband always wonders where my money goes, but I think he fails to notice the constant flow of new foods, toys, and such that trickle in around here.
