I dunno, UUallace, what the topic was. Now I don't know what to do. Start cooking up the rice and lentils I guess. I feel a lot less guilty about the occaisional scrambled eggs or the leftover rice from chinese takeout with chicken broth the dogs get, that's for sure. We have been feeding Eukanuba. I can't bring myself to go get the bag and read the label now. Last year the independent guy we purchase our feed and seed from did give us a sample of a food called Wellness. I remember that the dogs wouldn't touch it. Could it have been the same? If it was it makes me want to try again.

Snapple I had a cat who died a few years ago, she'd been w/ me a long time and one night she had a stroke, one sided paralysis, it was bad, the vet put her on meds but she only made partial recovery and we were discussing putting her down, then she had another and went to sleep and stopped breathing...very sad, very hard to watch, Skpper was fortunate as well as talented.

About Wellness cat food. Fish meal is condemned and denatured. The menhadden meal Wellness uses is not. The Menhadden is an extremely bony and oily herring. Being inedible it does not have to be denatured. The word 'menhadden' in the Algonquin languages means ferrtilizer. We know it best as Linoleum.

My cat had no teeth. I fed her that prescription cat food that my vet sells for a million buck and canned tuna- it smelled better and was cheaper than cat food.
