Crap snipped.
And I'll repeat my challenge: If anyone has ever had a cat suffer harm as a result of eating a cooked chicken bone, please post. I still think we'll get no reponses. It doesn't happen because it's an old wives tale, probably created by extrapolation from dogs, for whom it probably *is* dangerous. -- Bogus e-mail address, but I read this newsgroup regularly, so reply here. Anyone here who wants to test their beloved pet in a challenge over whether cooked (and admitedly brittle) bones are safe for their cat, or dog for that matter, sign up here. If I were you I'd sure post a bogus email address too! Cats eat raw birds. So do dogs, with no known ill effects. If you have leftover KFC or any other kind of fried food it's better off in the trash. Animals (including humans) aren't built to eat lots of that stuff. If you insist on giving this to your pet you can at least strip off the edible parts and toss the bones where the animail won't be put at risk of finding them. Yes, I am ****ed about giving animals food that isn't intended for them. My father thought it was "cute" that his dogs liked ice cream, hamburgers, candy and all other sorts of things that in the end killed them. His idea of a good time was tossing candy down the hallway and having our loved dog retrieve it and eat it. When she became diabetic he acted dumb about the whole thing. Dogs get dog food. Cats get cat food. If you give your pet anything else that is not approved by the general conventions of veteranary medicine you sure aren't doing them any favors. In over 30 years of keeping my own pets I've never, ever given any of them table scraps. And you know what? All my animal friends have thrived. My 'pets' are my friends and companions. They are not circus clowns made to beg for their food at the dinner table. Maybe too harsh a response, but I have really strong feelings about this issue.
