Snappy Tom is perfectly safe for cats or they wouldn't be allowed to sell it! It's just a very fishy kind of cat food and not all cats will eat it.

Any cat that eats too much wet food will have loose stools which is why cats should be fed dry biscuit all the time and just get one or two small meat meals a day. Stray cats seem to be able to eat anything so your meat mixture will be fine for them.

Please try to avoid getting the stray cats in your area dependent on you. If you feed them everyday and they know it is you feeding them they will stop looking for their own food. If you then move house they will not be able to feed themselves anymore which can be a huge problem. It can be a problem if the new family that live there dont like cats!!

The best way to feed stray cats is to feed them every 2 or 3 days next to a bin in your area. By changing the times that you feed them (morning one day, 2 days later in the evening etc) they will not get into a routine. You can also leave left overs from your meals in the top of the bin so they can find it easily but again they dont associate the food with you.
