I understand how you feel about birds but at the same time it's
good to know KFC had a 'wild' meal again for a change.

"Authorities" who advocate allowing cats to be indoor/outdoor claim
that the prey they catch and eat provides elements in their diet
that commercial food cannot. I'm not stirring up THAT controversy
again, but for cats like KFC, it may well be true.


The old girl is doing something right, and it sounds as if she had to
provide her own diet for quite some time.

I am not surprised to hear that, Evelyn. We all have to admit that a
truly natural diet for a cat would be what they could catch.
It certainly does KFC so much good to eat a vole, mouse or a bird. It
revitalises her somehow. And improves her bowels ;-)
She rarely poos on the pure chicken diet she mostly insists on - or at
least I cannot find it. I know it must be somewhere, but it ain't in
either of the litterboxes. I might get a horrible surprise one day but I
cannot find it, as yet an4d there is no smell that might lead me to it.
When she has eaten "wild food" with bones and feet and feathers or fur in
we get a firm result in the bathroom litterbox ;-) It's what cats are
supposed to eat, isn't it, really?

It is indeed! I've always wondered why nobody ever came out with a mouse
flavored cat food - I suspect that cat food is packaged with human
sensibilities in mind, though, not cats'.

That's certainly why it contains "food coloring"! I forget what "treat"
it was (that was supposed to combat hairballs), but when Melisande
chucked it up (along with a big hairball) it left an indelible red stain
on my grey carpet! (That's when I started reading labels and stopped
buying "treats" in bright colors.)

Same reason we prefer to buy food w/ no food coloring - stains the
carpet, although natural coloring does too, it's just not as bad.

I have a friend who has a German Sheppard who is allergic to the red
dye, so only "natural" colored treats for her. If she gets any, she
"gets itchy" - probably gets hives, but who can tell under all that fur?

She certainly did have to and it might have been at least 7 years of that.
I did not realise, for all those years I thought she was "someone else's
cat"
as it's common here to have owned cats passing through my garden all the
time and amusing themselves by sitting themselves on my chicken huts and
pretending they are mousing or ratting.
It was not until I caught her in my catch-alive fox trap with a dead chicken
as bait that I realised she was struggling..

I fed her twice a day after that, in the garden and she slept in the tool
shed until all my dogs had gone to RB. She noticed that and enquired at the
door if there was a vacancy. I could not refuse her.
The girl is not stupid ;-)
