Why Chicken is So Important For a Cat’s Diet

by Joi on April 30, 2008

Alexa in Early 2007

Alexa, Prissy, and I were doing a little research earlier on the IAMS website and we found a great article.  It tells how chicken is a complete protein source for cats.  My girls were thrilled to hear it and celebrated by having a little chicken for lunch.  Actually, Alexa had a little - Prissy gorged.  Their eating habits are hilarious.  When you look at them, you’d think Alexa was quite the pig, yet she’s a dainty eater.  Prissy, on the other hand, is tiny but outeats all 3 of our other cats combined.

They’re healthy, thankfully - they just have peculiar eating routines.

Click the link below to see the article for yourself;  it’s really interesting.  While you’re on the website, take a look at the other articles.  There’s a wealth of information there.

Healthy, Natural Cat Food that Makes Over-Protective Parents Smile

by Joi on March 27, 2008

Nature's Variety Prairie Homestyle Canned Cat Food - Lamb & Liver 5.5 oz. Can - Case of 24 With Nature’s Variety Prairie Homestyle Canned Cat Food - Lamb & Liver 5.5 oz. Can - Case of 24 - you provide your babies wiht a home-cooked taste with high quality nutrition.  These chunky stew formulas are made with real meat, poultry and healthy fruits and vegetables.

I admit it, I’m an overly protective mother, whether it comes to my daughters or my cats.  I even tend to overly guard the raccoons, possums, birds, and rabbits I feed as well as the skunks who sometimes help themselves into the scene - Right before everyone and everything else, except Svenn, flees.  Svenn loves skunks and could watch them for hours.  (And, yes, I do name each one….okay, maybe not all the birds…)  I care very much what my cats eat, and I watch their food like a hawk, especially after all of the controversites and tragedies.

A few of the “tainted” animal food manufacturers are back on the shelves again - and, while I’m sure they’ve taken unbelievable efforts to ensure their safety, I have to admit - I can’t bring myself to buy them ever again.

If I were them, I would have re-packaged everything, provided new names, new logos, etc.  I certainly wouldn’t have put the food back in the same packages that pet lovers had to throw away and hope and pray our pets weren’t going to die!

If you’re like me, you’re probably looking more and more into the natural products like the ones featured in this post. Click the link at the top or the cans below to learn more about a brand that’s as good as it gets.  As Svenn would say, “It’s almost as endearing as skunks.”  One of these days I’m going to have to break it to my husband - that cat’s not quite normal.
