Diabetes Talking

Question:

I think you should consider a dry food like Science Diet. It is just more nutritious, she will eat less Science Diet is high priced garbage full of by-products and CORN, which nort nly is a common allergen, but SteveG posted a study that showed corn gluten meal (also in SD) was determined to be problematic and could be detrimental. Not much better than the garbage being passed off as cat food at your local grocery stores, not to mention the fact that dry food is NOT an appropriate diet for cats. Frankly I’m shocked that, as long as you have been reading the newsgroups, you’ve chosen to ignore all the evidence that bears this out.

I agree with you about Science Diet (but none of my cats would ever touchd it – dry OR canned – the few times I tried to feed it to them).  However, any number of vets recommend "premium" dry food, unless your cat has UTS problems.

Response:

I dont really think you can feed a cat too much unless they are big cats who eat a lot because they*are* big, or a cat that has an unusually large appetite, I feed Wilson a sm; tin of wet food mornings and fresh  meat evenings and like you dry food is there always, mostly he leaves half the tin,just nibbling at itthrough the day, I pick it up when it dry’s out, sometime he gollups his fresh meat down and somtimes hardly touches it prefering the dry,until henri got sick with his kidney’s at 13 years old he ate very well except he had chicken breasts cut up instead of meat, Wilson wouldn’t eat chicken.   regards   Jean.P.

Hi, I feed my Sassafras (Sassy) wet and dry food. After reading several of the post regarding feeding, diets and what not, I think maybe I feed her too much.  Her vet has never said anything about her being over weight, actually when they weighed her Wednesday she was 13
