Just opened a pouch of 'Chef' catfood. It was 'off'. It was black and fermenting. Boy I feel sick. I can still smell it. Said cat will have to have something else not Chef from now on. Cat food smells bad at any time, let alone when off, black and frothing!

As for the catfood....yukkk!! We inherited 2 cats here with our rental house and I was feeding them cat food from PacNSave.... one of them started to really lose weight... was wondering whether to take her to the vets for a checkup.... I bought some Iams catfood as I had a BOGOF offer and wow.... what a difference.... shes fatter than our fat lazy cat now!! I've kept them both on Iams now they are looking so good!

Haven't been out that way though for well over 15 years. Last time I think was about 2am in the morning during a car rally.

After returning from a 3 year stint in Europe we ended up in Manurewa until we moved to Bucklands Beach.
Used to fish and jump off both the wharf across the road from the dairy and the wharf a few bays along.
