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. John -------------------- Sadie (named after the Beatles song "s e x y Sadie") came into my life when I rescued her from a cage in the SPCA in 1991. 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!
Rev 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, [be] unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. |

Here's three more articles regarding feline diets (not written by a vet).
http://www.blakkatz.com/dryfood.html http://www.blakkatz.com/natural.html http://www.blakkatz.com/naturetooth.html QUOTE I understand your point, and its fine that you refuse to feed your cat dry, but its not wrong that other people will. If other people choose to feed their cats dry food, that's their choice. However, people are becoming more educated regarding a felines' need for dry food and finding that there isn't one. For treats, both of our furkids enjoy Grandma Lucy's freeze dried chicken or mahi-mahi or ocean whitefish. The latter two are hard and satisfies Mr. Yoster's enjoyment of chewing, rather than on dry cat food. http://www.snobbypaws.com/index.php?main_p...index&cPath=4_5 I just found these Whole Life freeze dried cat treats: http://waggintails.com/store/index.php?disp=19 The chicken and Salmon fillet (not slammin' salmon) are hits in our house.
