    yes it true. dry food is better for their teeth and gums and wet IS more like a treat. i've always heard of giving them wet when thei sick

    my cat Tiger is an indoor cat ALLLLLL the time lol. i kind of want to try raw for 1 day but im scared that his stomach may not beable to take it. is it ok for cats to eat raw egg?

    I have heard that Salmonella resides in the egg white, which is why we have to cook the egg white thoroughly.

    Raw is good, but it doesn't hurt to cook it for them. Just let it cool and cut it up for them. Giving them big hunks brings out some nasty wide (oops, wild) tendencies. Mine wouldn't know how to hunt anything other than crickets at this point, so I'm not kidding myself about them surviving in the wild. However good meat is always better than the high corn content of most dry foods.

    You could always buy some squirrel or rabbit at the supermarket. That is at least closer to their natural food source than cow, chicken, or deer. Sams is a great hunter of bugs, but I can't see him bringing down a deer.

    The fellas are pampurred and that's that.

    i know i heard the same thing about eggs but when i saw how many dogs were eating raw egg i thought maybe its not so bad for animals

    the only thing that my tiger "hunts" are "moving" plastic bags. he's hilarious.

    thanx for the info on cooking the egg maybe ill try it.

    Food choice

    In the past 10 years, I have had 9 different cats. Currently, I have 7. I have always used Hill's Science Diet. There are many varieties, I think I have had them all at some time or other depending on age, weight loss needs, etc. The only ones they won't eat is the hair ball control version. I guess they don't like the size and shape, so I give them petromalt hairball rememdy once a week.

    The cats are healthy at their vet visits, their coats are shiny, they are active, so I feel I have good results with this food.
