This applies to the stock market, or to anything else where some disaster may occur. Feed your cat a gret variety of foods. Table scraps, different cat foods purchased from different suppliers, and made in different countries by different entrepeneurs. You wouldn't eat just one food to the exclusion of everything else, so why would you want or expect your cat to do this? I am reminded of the Gary Larson cartoon of the two dogs, wagging their tails and waiting expectantly at the housewife's feet for her to finish opening the can of food. One dog says to the other, "Oh boy! - Its dog food again!" You can toss as piece of meat in the air, and the first time it touches the dog is when it hits the bottom of his stomache. Ever try that with your cat? |

I got the Oral Health cat food, but my vet yelled at me for serving dry food all the time. So I added water to the dry food for years. When the vet found out, he yelled at me again. Turns out the Oral Health cat food has these long fiber things that scrape across your cat's teeth (sort of like using dental floss on humans by scraping it over the teeth instead of between them), and adding water completely ruined the ability of the fibers to scrape. I give my cat a huge variety. He probably gets more variety in his diet than I do. Dan Leifker |

I like to stick with popular brands to help ensure quality, or to at least avoid major problems. But you never know. What do you recommended to feed you cat? Agree completely about rotating the food.

Right... Being dry allows it to work. I also use Oral Care, sometimes a small amount as an after-meal treat. But you can add water to other dry cat foods. Currently, my feral gets moistened Purina Pro Plan. First, it is put into zipper style sandwich bags. Then when the time comes, one half bag is poured into a new bag and water is added. It has to soak for at least an hour. And it is spooned from the new bag. I started free feeding dry food to my male. He has almost doubled in size. He doesn't seem really fat, but he's big. He's come a long way from trying to live on bugs in the not-so-great outdoors. Just make sure there is plenty of fresh water around. I like the option of feeding either dry or wet. Almost any (high- quality) dry food should allow that. |

Our cats get roasted chicken, as well as other people food, and a variety of canned cat foods and dry foods. The dry food is available to them all the time, because it keeps, and doesn't go bsad unless it gets wet. They also eat out of each others bowls, so they get to eat what the other catd eat even if they donlt particularly like it themselves. We entertain a stray who lives down the street somewhere, and he likes milk. so he gets a bowl of it every day or so. Apparently his folks have a dog who eats his food as well as his own. One of our cats likes melon, so he gets cantalope and honeydew melons frequently. I'm not saying that they couldn't be poisoned by bad food. It's just highly unlikely unless it was done on purpose by a diabolical mind. My cats love the variety, and I feel sorry for cats that are forced to eat the same diet every day by well meaning owners who are careful to feed them special, "bonded" diets...... |
