When I had cats I fed Felidae. My dog gets Canidae. I think it'll take quite a bit to get me to change from that food.

Moggy, I adore you, and once again, dub the with the title of "Cat Angel"....thank you so much for all the information and help.

Yes, it IS a problem, not something reported on one source by a paranoid whackjob.

And I'm sorry if I helped to start the whole thing on Conuly's journal by looking at the source the way I did. As I said there, the article by the vet was the most concing part of it and right after I read it I didn't know what to think, and frankly, didn't want to believe it because it was too upsetting.

After you gave me the rest of the information, there was no denying it, upsetting or no.

So, again, I'm sorry if I got the ball rolling on the whole disbelief thing and again, thank you for all your help...

Poke, poke. :)

I'm talking about this with my mother right now, and we've decided that we need to find a way to switch over to better cat food. Can you recommend some of the best brands, especially more affordable ones? Could I find them at a store like PetCo if the grocery store doesn't carry them?

Also, I've so far read about Innova and PetGuard. Are those good ones? They seem better than the others.

Uh-oh, litter's a problem, too?

Looks like the big pet grooming place in town carries Felidae, as well as a feed store in the next town over.

One thing I'm confused about: Everything I'm reading says cats can't digest fruits, vegetables, and cereals (other than rice) well, but everything seems to contain things like apples and carrots. I don't get it.

My mom just said "It feels like we've never fed our cats before!" It sounds weird, but I get what she's saying. We're both all paranoid now, and we keep looking at Cleo (the girl cat, currently curled up next to Mom) apologetically.

I know the feeling... I lost several cats to things they never should have died from, especially at their ages, and I still wonder whether they'd have lived a full life if I had known better back then. Since I nursed one through renal failure and then had a horrible experience when she had to be put down, I *really* obsess over whether I could have saved her had I known more ( ... )
