Really ought not buy their cat food though, at least not to feed cats. It’s horrible from a nutritional perspective.

Bad cat food is a major factor to feline obesity. Chonkers are not cute.

I agree with the overall sentiment. The money you're saving in cat food is only going to lead to vet bills later on.

I'll fight you on whether or not chonkers can be cute, though.

Without context, absolutely cute. However, since pets rely on their humans for food, them growing obese is a sign of abuse/neglect (even if not on purpose). Then it’s less cute.

Well now I've gotta look into all the alternative uses for cat food.

I’ve a friend who fed worms on it. Basically fodder for fodder animals.

IIRC, ferret food. But it's probably not much better to feed it to ferrets.
