While I like most animals, I've always had cats as pets. I like
their independent natures. THEY choose when to be affectionate.
THEY choose. Period. Insecure males or females can't stand this.
They choose is an understatement. It almost seems like they are
playing with the owners mind sometimes.
That's what happens when you ascribe human thought processes and emotions to
a domesticated predator. Duh!

Or when a human cannot recognize and extrapolate an intelligent
animal's thought processes and see the occasional similarities
between them and humans perhaps? hummm?

RUBBISH. All dry food diet is what makes for constipation,
bloating, overweight, and rectal bleeding from straining to have
BMs. What you should not do to a cat that is on dry cereal
diet is suddenly
change the diet during the holidays to real food from your
dinner table. I've had several cats in my life that lived into
their early
twenties on 'real food.' Sorry if that blows your belief system.
The key word here, from my wife the veterinarian, is "scraps".
ie
if you wouldn't eat it, neither should you feed it to your cat.
Also, cats need raw meat, or get some kind of essential nutrient
supplement (I forget which)
Dan
RUBBISH. My reason for bringing home leftovers from restaurant
meals is that I don't eat such large portions at a single
sitting. Your wife's assertion is a bit quacky around the edges.
She is also one who projects her
ways onto others ... including you. LOL The likely nutrient you
are searching for is taurine. The following makes my point about
FRESH food (canned and dry has to have this amino acid added in
to the formula by law).
http://www.petcaretips.net/cat_taurine.html
In the wild, rodents formed a large part of the feline diet, and
the rodents
had significant levels of taurine in their brains.
I have to trust legislation and puss's willingness to eat
sufficient commercial food to get his allowance of taurine. I'm
not going to 'mouse' for him at me age! Makes ya wonder though
.. if Liberals have a deficiency of this amino acid.
http://www.darkdog.com/whatistaurine.html
Read my whole post, slowly, now read it again. "SCRAPS" are not
good.
I didn't say anything about "leftovers". If you can't clear an
american restaurant sized plate (and very few should!), and you
bring home stuff
that you would normally eat if you wanted to be 300lbs, then OK,
feed it
to your cat. It is much better quality raw ingredients than what
goes
into the cat food bag or can. Lots of people feed their pets
"scraps"
which is the stuff that is not fit to feed your family, you
shouldn't
feed that to your pets either.
Dan
we spice up our foods quite a bit, plus we eat a lot of veggies.
Our
cat would sniff it and walk away.
You JUST MADE MY POINT. You are trying to force your eating habits on a
specialized preditor. "plus, WE eat a lot of veggies."
Yes and I said the cat would sniff sniff it and walk away. What did I
say not correct here?

Try that shit when you're a company driver these days and you're going to be
taking time off without pay when ... not if ... your caught. Get caught
with any traceable, controlled substances in your system in the HOURS after
an accident and you'll be out of a job and get a BIG nasty note in your
driving record that is kept by a private driver record keeping service in
Oklahoma.

Now they spend most of their income to support that choice..daycare,
transportation, extra clothes, lunches, etc.. A step BACKWARDS, I say.

All our cats lived on a mixture of wet and dry food, of whichever brand they
prefered that week (they always changed their minds constantly). None were
overweight, the oldest died aged 24. None had health problems. All had fresh
water :D And the pond water outside when they were out there lol.
