I agree in principle and in practice although Stella and Chewies freeze fried is fully pasteurized using something called high pressure sterilization that kills all bacteria. Apparently its used on human foods as well all the time, i watched a video, very interesting.
We feed our cats freeze-dried Stella & Chewy's and Primal, too: they're very easy to store, portion out, and mix into various blends and consistencies to keep the cats interested. Since the food's freeze-dried, it's dry and crumbly and doesn't look much like meat. It also barely has any odor. I used to get a little nauseated looking at RadCat chicken, which is very gloppy, but freeze-dried is easy!Raw food is difficult but I give Mimi dehydrated freeze dried food , it's not frozen and you just mix it with water it's from Stella and chewy or sometimes I get primal. You can leave it all day and it's fine. It costs like $21 and it lasts 2 weeks maybe. Ibd kitties are sadly high costI spen a lot to the vets and food but once the cat is stabilized the maintenance is pretty easy. Bottom line avoid carrageenan and grain. Also you can order food online!
If you don't mix it with water you can safely leave it out like dry food. My cat likes it like this but only when I'm not at home for many hours!
You shouldn't feel silly, particularly since both those brands are available in frozen versions that don't need any rehydration! Keeping track of all these commercial foods can get confusing.I assumed it was rehydrated. I understand now.
You are not selfish. You've got a hell of a lot to cope with at the moment. I'd be going out of my mind with worry if I were in your situation. Besides, other people having it worse doesn't devalue what you're going through. Be kind to yourself.
Thank you.....so sweet of you....You are not selfish. You've got a hell of a lot to cope with at the moment. I'd be going out of my mind with worry if I were in your situation. Besides, other people having it worse doesn't devalue what you're going through. Be kind to yourself.
I'm so glad Artie did reasonably well yesterday - especially with his eating. Good luck with finding more foods he likes that like him back. Come on Artie - keep eating and stop giving your mom nervous breakdowns!
I'd just change the pillowcase after he's done napping!
Restlessness is a common side effect for reglan.
And even if you were selfish, it's not a bad word. Artie is your fur baby. You're supposed to be more concerned about him than about other people's cats.You are not selfish.
