One is a strange amphibian colloquially known as the 'walking fish,' but is more like a salamander that has evolved to live much of its life in water. It's called an axolotl. Even this creature will eat and successfully digest algae and other aquatic vegetation if necessary. The other is the "felidae" family, which includes wild and domestic cats.
They, unlike dogs, lack any of the physiological machinery required to digest plant including fruit based foods. Paying close attention to your pets' diets is critical, but I'd argue you need to pay specific attention to what you feed your cat s. All that said, it is understandable that there are many animals that are being neglected, and those that would allow the overpopulation to progress are much at fault for their being far more animals on our planet that can be sufficiently supported.
This assessment isn't based on science. Please research the work by Tufts University as a starting point - Petfoodology. A lot of myths out there perpetuated by well meaning people, as well as marketed by the pet industry. I am owned by a big orange tabby. He weighs 13 pounds but he's very long and tall, 3 feet from nose to tail. He's 9 years old and his vet says he's healthy, sleek, handsome and I should keep doing what I'm doing. He eats Iams indoor cat food only.
He won't eat wet food or people food. Well, that's not completely true. He licked an empty bowl of shrimp curry clean. Then he did it again. So, you never know. I trust Iams for Rufus. He is doing quite well.
Read your article about IAMS cat food. I feed my kittens IAMS dry kitten food because the kibble is small for their mouths. I used to feed them Royal Canin Mother and Kitten Kubble, but the cost was not something i could support. I suppose if a person has only one cat they could resort to expensive foods. But i have seven as i also do rescue and often end up keeping some. I mostly use Friskies wet food and Fancy Feast wet food for kittens. My oldest cat was 14 when he developed colon cancer.
My youngest is 5 months and all are healthy. My oldest daughter raised her cat to the age of 21 on Walmart's Special Kitty, one of the cheapest around. I dont believe cats need all this new age expensive food.
In the feral population, cats are scavengers, eating anything that moves or generous handouts from people. They usually die of starvation or other animal attacks. This article serves no other purpose than to try to make pet owners feel quilty for not spending unwarranted amiunts of money on natural foods. I only feed my cats Friskies wet food and Purina urinary tract health.
No problems with their health. Hard to know, I feed my cats Iams Senior and the high protein and Fancy Fiest for years, two died at age 15, and he is is 15 still very healthy. Hard to know like I said. I recently changed my cat's diet to Purina dry food. I gave her some in a bowl she liked it so much she tore into the bag to get more. I have a picture of her sitting next to the bag with a bunch of holes in it and food pouring out.
That's B. My cat only eats dry Iams grain free cat food now for 23 years and has never been sick. She has only gone to the vet for shots.
That's it. Don't act like a "know it all"! Everyone has their different experiences with cats. Maybe your cat was sick to begin with.
This article is such bogus crap :. Natasha, I hear you. Back in the days I worked for a vet's office, vets sometimes were using McDonald's hamburgers to entice sick, old or recovering dogs to start eating. My cat will starve for days and not eat any healthy dry food. No different flavors or brands. Only wet food and cheap dry food. Also, while you're not an actual veterinarian, it does not mean you're not knowledgeable.
So since you speak on the subject: where did you study nutrition? And where did you get your definition of "by-product," specifically where it relates to "diseased, dead or spoiled meat" exclusively. As well, how are veterinarians being "pushed" to advocate for specific products that are not available only with a prescription and thereby include no form of possible kickback from the companies?
I used Purina when younger because I never thought about it. At some point I started looking into different foods because my cat s would eat so much and lay around and get fat. When I switched them to Iams, they got slimmer, ate less, became more active, did indeed have shinier, softer coats and were all-around healthier pets.
They are still healthier pets. Companies don't make money by killing your pets. If disease and otherwise destructive diets were linked to specific pet foods, they would not survive in the market.
