Advantages: tasty, crunchy & it keeps fresh

Disadvantages: none

Please let me introduce myself, I’m Barnaby, but you can call me Barney once we get to know each other. And let me tell you I do ALL the important jobs at our Livery Yard.

I know you will all think that the yard staff do the hard work; looking after all the horses; staying up all night when they are sick or due to foal; shifting heavy bales of hay and straw; lugging around sacks of horse feed and bags of carrots. But just let me tell you – there would be no staff here if it weren’t for me! The yard staff are all ‘girlies’, and when the chips are down they run for cover. Phil, the owner is OK though – he is a man too – but he does not possess my sleek good looks, hawk-like vision, razor-sharp hearing, sensitivity of whisker, stealth of paw … I could go on and on but I am far too modest.

As soon as a bag of horse feed is found with a hole chewed in it, the cry goes out “Has anyone seen Barney?” And where can I be found? I will be hard at work curled up on my favourite chair in the Tack Room. So then I’ve got to get up, wash myself (very important for me) and get dressed. I am spoiled for choice but always end up with the same little black and white outfit. After a leisurely breakfast I stroll over to the stables to see what all the fuss is about. It defies superior feline logic that these humans think nothing of dealing with half a ton of bad tempered stallion, but one small rodent can turn them into jelly!

They are giving me lots of fuss and attention now and although I can’t be doing with all that adulation, I wouldn’t want to disappoint my fans. So, I strut around draping myself decoratively around their legs, and I try to look pleased with myself for their sakes. It really is a tough job, but someone’s got to do it! And what do I get paid for all this hard work I have to endure? BISCUITS!

Iams Adult 1+ to be precise. It is available
in four flavours – Chicken, Lamb, Light Chicken and my favourite Ocean Fish. These are small brown bite size biscuits, just right for us cats. Phil buys these for me from Costcutter; a 300g bag normally costs £1.79, but they are on offer for 99p at present. Packaged in a bright orange sealed bag; this is a complete pet food for adult cats who are aged one year or more. It is specially formulated to provide me with all the nutrition that I need to keep me fit and active and chasing the mice.

The ingredients for Iams Adult 1+ Ocean Fish variety are:

Ocean fish, chicken meal, rice, maize, animal fat, dried whole egg, dried beet pulp, poultry digest, brewer’s dried yeast, DL-methionine, sodium chloride

Of course, I didn’t always have Iams, but Phil decided to see if I liked this and gradually introduced me to this catfood over a period of four days. He always ensures that I have a bowl of fresh water. But if I am thirsty when I am out and about, I can always have a drink from one of the horses water troughs (I just have to avoid that stallion though).

The 300g bag is sufficient to give me 12 meals based on the average needs of a large cat like myself, and the ingredients contain no colourants, flavourings or preservatives. The bag contains feeding guidelines for small, medium and large sized cats in several different languages.

So, after having eaten Iams for the past few months what do I think of this food? Well, I like it although it took a while for me to get used to it. It is crunchy and tasty and unlike tinned catfoods, it stays fresh. If I leave it and then decide to come back for later on, it has not dried up or attracted the flies like tinned food seems too. I have a sleek glossy coat and Phil tells me that due to the higher fibre content I have firmer stools!! (I don’t know what he means – I much prefer to snooze on a comfy armchair, I wouldn’t give you tuppence for a
firm stool!)

Iams is also supposed to help in preventing the build up of tartar on my teeth, but I keep my jaws firmly clamped together when Phil tries to inspect my mouth. I’m not having any of that…

Iams is not just for adult cats. It is also available in the following types:

 Iams Hairball Control – which is designed to reduced hairball formation

 Iams Kitten – designed for the younger cat of less than one year old

 Iams Light – designed for those cats who need to watch their weight

 Iams Senior – designed to suit the needs of the older cat

Now, as I’ve eaten my Iams Adult food and taken a nap, I’m off for a stroll over to the farm next door. A very pretty pussy, wearing a grey and white fluffy little number, has recently moved in and she is just purrrrrrfect. I have caught her eye once or twice and being a full blooded lusty young male I just might be able to bring a sparkle to her eyes….
