Anonymous Coward User ID: 65258342 United States 12/06/2019 11:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wow... yeah, good catch, thanks much for the heads-up. Quoting: Chay-Ophan I've got three cats, two dogs and, stereotypes be damned, I'm very much a "cat guy" (dogs actually belong to gf). In all the ways that matter (to me) the lives of my cats hold more value than that of the average human. Seriously don't know how I'd react if one of them was killed by defective catfood. Pretty sure it would involve massive property damage with some (unfortunate, naturally) loss of life. I guess the take-away here is fuck with my cats at your own peril. Thanks again for the info. As you can see you may very well have saved human lives as well so yeah, there's that for the Christmas spirit! I made the mistake of feeding Starkist tuna to my cats as a treat. Big mistake. They will eat nothing else now, but I guess it's safer but more expensive. The strays are not picky. Actually tuna is the only fish that will cause cats to waste away if that is all they eat. Cats need the amino acid taurine from food and cannot make it inside body like humans. Tuna has no taurine amino acid...this is critical for all cats. Buy different food or buy taurine powder and add it to the tuna or the cats will literally starve even while eating NO single food except animal milk for infants.. both cats and humans .. by animal milk I mean what the mother nurses them with. Otherwise it is essential for all living animals and plants for that matter to have variety in their diet. |

I also noticed cheap kitty litter made them throw up from cleaning themselves specifically the clay ones. I use the arm and hammer brands and have not had any more problems with that. :) |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78230525 most cat ladies dine on the same thing they feed their cats well during my more poor times I do not get down on the floor and munch thru their crunchies... sorry about that one. but you overgeneralized... Dumb thing you said. I do remember friends who were getting some public assistance, of course the State wouldn't give them any help for their animals, so yeah, they'd spend their food stamps on canned tuna or canned chicken for their cats.

They will eat nothing else now, but I guess it's safer but more expensive. The strays are not picky. Too much Tuna can also be harmful from the Taurine. As everyone knows, cat food prices keep going UP with a 5.5oz. can going for around fifty cents! To combat this, several years ago I began buying 10lb. bags of Chicken Hindquarters when they went onsale [as they regularly do] for as little as .49/lb. just to use as Cat food... and I could also fry up a few drumsticks for myself! $5-6 of Chicken is ALOT of meat and they'll even crunch away on the bones for the Calcium with no problem. Most cats LOVE Chicken whether raw, boiled, roasted or fried and at least this way I know they AREN'T getting any of those mysterious "by-products" that every can label lists... plus, IT'S CHEAPER! BTW: I boil the Chicken in salted water since most cat food has a salty taste... and DON'T ask me how I know this! A PLUS is that the cooking liquid makes excellent stock for soups/stews for my own table! I also haunt the discounted meat case at my local grocery. Expired cuts I won't eat can be frozen and fed raw/cooked and won't hurt my animals one bit. Just two days ago I found one-pound packs of Oscar Meyer Roasted White Turkey deli slices; they expired that same day and were reduced in price from $3.99 down to only a QUARTER [.25 cents each!] - needless to say, I bought 8 pounds of excellent cat food for only $2.00! Of course, I don't feed my animals this kind of thing exclusively as a regular diet. I buy nutritionally balanced dry foods in name brands [NEVER house brands like "Special Kitty" since there's a GOOD reason they are cheaper!] that provide everything they require to stay healthy. Try the Chicken hindquarters the next time you see them onsale! You'll save LOTS of money and your furry little friends will love you even more for it and, as I said... YOU can enjoy it for dinner, too! Too much taurine or mercury ? Taurine is necessary for heart health and absent from many grain free pet foods. My friends little dog almost died from heart failure, turns out the grain free food had no taurine. Now he's on supplemental taurine and other heart meds. Big study about dogs and heart disease going on right now at some CA university right now and lack of tuarine is the factor being studied. |

User ID: 76948143 United States 12/07/2019 04:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 6 kittens die from the melamine poisoning back in 2006. Also 2 other of our cats went down. It was heartbreaking and something I hope no cat lovers ever need to go through. It was so sudden we didn't even have a chance to get them to a vet. A turned away from canned and name-brand pet food after that episode. I cook for my little guys, now. What most people don't know is that there really are NOT that many cat food brands--they just throw different labels on them but the food comes through certain providers first then go into the various brand names. I learned that researching the melamine disaster. 1,000s of animals dogs and cats passed...really tragic. I wish this would stop happening over and over. Seems like this happens every year or two.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78214299 food out of a can isn't good for us or for our pet friends... do you enjoy food out of a can?? nuff said ... Good quality canned food with meat as the first ingredient is good our pets. Those canned foods also contain much needed vitamins and minerals that are missing in their diets unless as for cats - they eat a diet of mice, which domesticated cats don't. It is always good to also give them small amounts of real chicken, beef, or fish every day. Most dry foods are bad for cats, and can cause urinary tract blockages. Iams is a good quality dry food, but should only be given in very small quantities, more as a treat. Not as a meal. Last Edited by Moon&Stars on 12/07/2019 06:14 AM Moonstar |
OVER VACCINATING = BAD User ID: 78065720 United States 12/07/2019 06:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm really angry with the last vet who gave them the yearly shots. She tried to make me feel guilty about not having a Cats teeth cleaned! Man I wanted to let that idiot have it in the noggin, fucking moron, when I find out it's in the hundreds of dollars, two to three visits to a low brow area, and, potentially THOUSANDS of dollars if teeth have be pulled and whatever. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16762662 What do these people think wild animals do? Does she think I wouldn't take the cat if I knew it was in pain? It has bad breath most pets do! People are total morons, I don't trust most people with higher degrees anymore to be competent. This was a freaking RESCUED cat, being treated at a volunteer clinic! They don't even do teeth. The ENTIRE SYSTEM is screwed and all based on syphoning as much money and energy from each other as possible. I'll try to find another way to get the cats treated now, the bitch! I strongly recommend you NOT take them for "yearly" shots..... that is waaaaay too many, and will actually make them sick !

I use the arm and hammer brands and have not had any more problems with that. :) Yup, FF is the only thing my finicky boy will eat. Every so often, I will cook some turkey or chicken like the other posters. He gets 1/2 can of the FF with gravy in the a.m. and a few pinches of the dry FF during the course of the day. The dry stuff keeps him regular along with some fresh catnip andoat greens grown outdoors so that he doesn't bogart the whole batch at once :) Thanks for the tip on the clay litter ! Note to others to keep that litterbox real clean and WASH YOUR HANDS after cleaning said. Toxoplasmosis can be a very nasty thing to catch for humans. |

He was a kitten with a huge gash on his nose. He survived fisher cats and coyotes for about a week per the one house on the road that I asked if he belonged to. The guy told me people dump pets on that road all the time. when we pulled over as soon as I opened my car door he ran over and jumped inside. We have been buddies ever since. I live next to the woods and there are a lot of mice that constantly try to get into the house. Billy has a job and it is to EAT THE MICE. So get over it. He eats mice. Mice carry diseases into people's houses and ruin food sources. So I am glad he eats them. Otherwise I have more mice in the mousetraps I have to set. Your example of feeding a cat to a Rottweiler is not the same thing. I have dogs too and I wouldn't even think of feeding them a cat. Talk about having something wrong in the head. Wow. Do cats constantly try to get into your house in the fall and piss and shit all over your house and on your kitchen counters? Do cats eat your wiring and make nests in your automobile and house and lawnmower and tractor? Probably not. Mice are rodent vermin. I study you all. We are NOT FREE. We are FREE RANGE.
