Looking for pretty-good pretty-cheap wet food recommendations
I'm looking for recommendations for a better quality of wet food for my cats.
I'm currently feeding them Friskies, because that's the primary food my late wife chose. I was shocked to discover how poorly it's rated on Cats.com and other sites I've looked at.
Problem is, I've got four cats, and I'm...

Is there a microchip feeder out there, besides the SureFeed, that:
- handles wet food
- works with 9-digit AVID chips (this rules out the MiBowl — my cats won’t wear collars, so the RFID tag isn’t an option)
