Bl**dy Brexit!

I thought Whiskas was made at Pedigree Petfoods in Melton Mowbray GagaJo, when I first got married I lived in Melton, and it was a very smelly place! May have closed down now though.

Are you hone from Switzerland, then Gagajo ?

Home not hone!

No, but I still do the grocery orders, because when I DID turn them over to DD, she messed them all up. Some weeks they had no deliveries and some weeks they had 2.

I don't know where Whiskas comes from, but he is a Chinese cat and got used to Whiskas there. It was the only brand of non dry cat food available there.

He is a real sweetie, but if he was human he would be special needs.

I was also wondering if GagJo was back in the UK.

Have you tried a different supermarket or Amazon?

I will try that next. She has also run out of the specific cat litter he likes (you really couldn't make it up!) from Aldi. They are not going out to shop and Aldi don't deliver there.

Lawdy, I’d never have pandered to DD or DH and I’ve lived in Greece and Spain without insisting on British foods, let alone a pet!

This comes under the ‘Must have Findus Crispy pancakes or I’ll wither away’ thread surely.....?‍♀️

GagaJo how come the missing cat food is due to Brexit?
Sorry to be dim ...

Our old cat, who sadly died last winter, adored tinned tuna. She would eat mixed pouches but whenever she was feeling under the weather or being a bit precious, it had to be tuna.

We use fetch for our pet food deliveries. They are very good and often have stock when others don't.
Our dogs eat Royal Canin which is French. So far so good.

Would a cat really starve itself to the point of death? Just asking ?

Oh I see the cats name must be Brexit!

Otherwise I don’t see a link.

Or is it just me?

He was bordering on dehydrated once tanith. I think he just shuts himself away and prepares to die sometimes. He once hid in the pots and pans cupboard for 2 days. I had to lure him out with tuna and even then, I had to drag him out when he shifted forward slightly. He is really dim.

I do know a cat called Brexit actually.

Maybe the moggie is fussy whose waters the fish have been caught in!

So ... the Brexit link to this? I’m not understanding it GagaJo.
?

This reminds me of a saying we have in our house. "Never give it Whiskers". This was told to me many years ago by a cat owner. Essentially she told me that the minute you give a cat Whiskers you'll never get it to eat anything else. Whenever DH and I here about people who are unwilling to compromise or adjust we look at each other and say "never give it Whiskers". Unfortunately, I have broken this rule. I gave the DH Yorkshire Gold tea years ago and now he won't have anything else.

I haven’t had cats for years but I do remember thinking to myself when I did that they put something addictive in Whiskas. How or why I came to that conclusion I have no idea though. But this thread has dragged it out of the recesses of my mind. Hedgehogs like Whiskas, too.

I'm all agog waiting for the connection between an over indulged cat and Brexit. Please tell us, the suspense is too much!

I used to have to shut DD's dog in another room when I fed the cat because the dog would eat the cat's Whiskas in a few seconds if he could.

Sooooo, onto the Brexit effect.
I think it's more likely to be the Covid effect; all kinds of foodstuffs seem to be unavailable at one time or another. Perhaps shoppers have panic bought all the Whiskas.

You could take the Marie Antoinette approach:
"Let him eat mice"

I'm sure it's the Covid effect and Peggy the JR would agree.

Her groan of, 'Really?' when her favourite gravy biscuit treats were replaced with milky ones made me laugh.

He is really dim.

You said he's a Chinese cat and was a stray.
Did you being him home from China?
Is he still traumatised from the journey or is he pining?
Does he understand English? (I am being serious btw)
