Feedback pls: What's your experience with 9-Lives cat food?
I know 9-Lives is not top quality food. My freind is in the process of switching her cat to a raw diet. To make the switch, she has to mix in some wet food with it. She has 9-Lives in the cupboard. Is that OK to use? What's your experience with it?

Nothing wrong with mixing 9-Lives in with the raw food. She should introduce the new diet gradually by mixing it with whatever she has fed them previously so as not to give them upset stomachs and diahrrea. Then slowly decrease the old food and add a little more of the new each time.
I feed a feral colony of 55 cats with 9-Lives. I also mix in canned jack mackrel (mackrel only- not the water), brewer's yeast, sometimes I add brown rice and low-sodium chicken broth and sometimes I add cod dust from a holistic pet food store. They eat it up. But then feral cats aren't usually that picky.

Good for her! I'm doing basically the same thing, mixing raw meat in with their regular canned food.
I don't see any real harm in using the 9 Lives as a bribe food. If it's getting them eat real meat, then it's all good.
On a similar note, I personally once used Purina to get Poppy to eat Evo. I gradually decreased the Purina (which is what I stupidly fed them for their first two years) until just the Evo was left. Now Poppy views it as a huge treat.
So good can certainly come out of bad!
