Working for a few shelters I am frustrated so often by the number of people who open the door and let their cats run free, forgetting about traffic, predators, cruel human beings, etc. We don't do that to dogs! Why do cats not have the same consideration, security, protection and love! It really ticks me off. And I am glad to hear that this gorgeous kitty is being fed properly now. Unfortunately there is alot of ignorance in that respect also - we don't live on nuts and a bit of water so I don't know what makes people think it is healthy to give cats (and dogs) dry food and water alone. Cats do not drink enough water (and if they drink alot usually it's because of some underlying health issue, like kidney failure). Cats NEED good quality canned food - they are carnivores. Whenever I explain this to people they usually say their cat is fine with just dry but they usually admit they don't like the smell. They need the moisture and the meat they get from canned food. This is why when they do get some canned food they often gobble it up - it's like they are saying FINALLY! These huge containers of dry food are full of fillers like rice, corn, etc. and have no place in our animals diets except to make them gain weight - it does nothing for their organs - it is for OUR convenience (just like non flushable clumping litters that turn to cement in our kitties tummies). Hopefully people will start using the same logic to read labels on pet food and products as they do on their own food now. *getting down off of soap box*
