The more I think about it the more fear I have about getting a new cat. I know that the biggest part is opening up my heart and making myself vulnerable to this kind of pain again, but even if I can get past that my next worry is what to feed him or her.
Who do you trust? Wet food is out. Dry food causes kidney problems. Organic food is pretty expensive. Real meat is best but then you have to add stuff and grind bones etc. It's just all so confusing.

Then she was taken from me when she ate the tainted IAMs food in 2007. You will always be in my heart and thoughts, Sadie. There will never be another like you!

I'm thinking if it is a high quality organic dry food it may be okay in very very limited quant*ities. Maybe just enough for the bone meal and vitamins that are in it. And something for the teeth. Other than that it makes sense to give the cats high quality meat. It is still confusing. My girlfriend asked me if domesticated cats are still true carnivores. I don't know. I know that Sadie and her (my girlfriend's) 3 cats love eating grass...and not just to throw up.
