All our cats except Charcoal and Tiger have been quite unwell, luckily they are not, as they have 4 & 3 new kittens each...
I am even getting some horrendous allergic reaction, it would not be a surprise if there is some pollutant or even clandestine drugs in the brand, they always go totally insane when we buy it, then next thing they are sick, puking all over!
Here is Megatron with Marigold, what makes him happy is taking care of other cats, he is really admirable :-)

Yeah food is very important /sensitive for them. Twice per month I am giving them homemade food, especially for them, soup with minced poultry meat or stew (meat and vegetables)

That is totally high on my list of projects here!
Been pondering on fish from the local markets, some milk and perhaps a bit of more tasty meat pieces, cook up a huge batch & cool down or even freeze most of it...

avoid milk. Even that the legend is that cats like milk is not true and they are a bit non-tolerant to cow milk. Maybe goat milk.
Fish is excellent for them, add some rice and carrots too and mince them almost being some kind of paté. They will love it especially if is fresh fish.
Cook in small batches, they do not like food that stays more than 1 day, because in time it lose the strong smell and taste. So you will end up throwing it away, wasting resources and sats :) Cats are attracted by strong smell and taste and never give them same food continuously, change it periodically.

We try to feed our cat something different every day. It's tough to do We mix it up or it goes to waste.

Thanks!
Goats milk, if any was the plan, but yeah you are quite likely right!
The problem right now is that they are totally hooked on these bags that contains who knows... I weaned them off that half a year ago, but then we kinda forgot about the problem with that brand...
Might mix in tiny amounts on that with fish, to gradually get them used to real food!

yes indeed, mix old dry food with different brands, that comes with stronger taste. But even then the fuckers are really smart and eat only the new bits, leaving the old ones away.
My 4 cats love Whiskas (dry and especially wet food). But is getting more expensive now.

Haha, yeah I know that play very well!
Today has been kinda OK, they are not puking any longer and I feed them smaller amounts of another brand... Its a matter of getting the balance right too, during the night they must have killed a bird for food, there were feathers in the living room haha
Especially one of the kittens was really dehydrated in the morning, but now they seem to have recovered

She used to stay on my shoulder, when she was the size of a medium bird haha!
So far she has been swearing at me a couple of times only, always on behalf of the others. When left to her own devices she seem to always be kinda meditating hehe
