Personal experience of watching carp mop them up much quicker and more greedily. Maybe it’s the shape and sizes or the fishy flavours and additives.

Why do you think cat are better than dog biscuits as floating bait?

Cat biscuits have been used in boilie recipes for years. Rod Hutchinson Seafood blend used ground up Purina Sea Snips at the time. Probably the first commercial fish meal bait.😀

Cat biscuits trump dog biscuits as floaters by a mile. Just have to try and find some bigger ones or spomb them out.

I've burnt out a couple of coffee grinders back in the day, on cat food . If your going to make the effort today. Use dreamies or the equivalent . My stray adopted cat is addicted to them. Add ground down to your mix, especially groundbait. But it floats so not too much and soak well.Cats are well known for being more discerning than dogs when it comes to food.

If you look at the ingredients of all the common cat biscuits now they're almost entirely cerial, not like years ago.

Just watched the latest u tube video from John Baker and his theme was doing things differently and he was talking about using cat biscuits , he was grinding them up adding a bit of red factor and whey , nothing new i know but once you start looking at the protein content as well as all the other additions it looks quite a decent mix , 47% protein + some other goodies, bit of a faff grinding down the biscuits but the range of flavours is quite large , food for thought
