What's on your menu today?

[kitytize]

Friskies Salmon canned, Eukanuba Hairball, Iams Hairball. Plus they usually get some cooked meat when I cook supper.

 

[merlynn's mom]

Reading all these yummy meals makes one wish to be a spoiled little kitty. Aaah, the life of a cat - of course mainly speaking of those owned by thecatsite.com members.

Let's see.
Merlynn & Pico had Cal Natural and Orijen dry. We're switching to Orijen so they have a few more days with the Cal Natural.

Kink had 3 tbsp Nutro kitten.

For dinner, Kink will have more Nutro and the big kids will have 2 medallions each of Nature's Variety beef.

Funny thing is this. It's hard for me to find a canned food that Merlynn will eat. Turns out she loves Nutro kitten and doesn't mind finishing up the few pieces Kind sometimes leaves. And Kink doesn't mind nibbling on the Orijen. At least they're sharing.

Zoey natural choice kitten dry ... orijen dry for snack s... herring and sweet potato wet( natural choice )

 

[icklemiss21]

Orijen dry (apart from the foster who got her Whiskas/Iams mixed in as I am still switching over)

 

[alleygirl]

Riley had Merrick turducken for breakfast today. He will probably eat the 2nd half for dinner and maybe a little bit of Sheba Tuna for a treat. I'm trying to tempt the foster to eat wet, but so far, she only licked a little of the juice off the tuna.

 

[roxie225]

Roxie had Nutro Chicken and Liver wet for breakfast, Nutro indoor dry for lunch and she will have another scoop of the chicken and liver for dinner later on. We get 2 days out of one can.

And why is that? I see it as no different from any other raw meat.

 

[taurus77]

Spot and Poops requested a hearty helping of 9 Lives Sliced Chicken and Liver in gravy.

the FAT of PORK IS totally INDIGESTABLE and the PARASITE levals are high including a worm that can be tranmitted to other animals ( including humans) ... PLUS 90% of pork at the grocer has been treated with various preserving agents like nitrates and nitrites... Youll find 90-95% of Raw diets saying NO PORK or FISH... JUST TOO RISKY

 

[monaxlisa]

So I know Im a little behind but oh well

Munchkin gets raw that Ive made for him, which is ground up chicken with liver and all that good stuff.
The rest of my gang get a mix of Purina UTI health and Chicken Soup light dry food...that reminds me, I need to switch back to regular instead of light food for the winter! And my dog gets Eagle Pack Holistic

 

[icklemiss21]

Yeah somewhere I have the why no pork ...

In all the disiplines I have read only oriental medicine allows pork and that evan states COOK to INTERNAL temp of 160 ... I ask multiple vets ( ie conventional , mixed and holistic and all SAID NO to pork unless THROUGHLY cooked and evan then it wasnt recommended

Quick reading and google yielded this

Hmm, I'll have to take a look at those websites. But, I have been feedig raw for years and never had a problem as well. As well, I am a part of a very knowledgable and experienced raw "group" and they feed raw pork regularly. I will look into the websites, however.

Today, the kittes got various duck pieces. What a treat!

 

[Asteria]

Today for breakfast Felidae dry, for lunch EVO wet, and for dinner there will be a little more Felidae dry.

 

[kittytales]

Tonight the kitties got sardines with a side of Abady canned green tripe. Not their usual fare, but the fridge is EMPTY!

 

[jazzybunny]

Today Jasmine had Merrick's Grammy's Pot Pie canned for both lunch and dinner. She loves it! Yesterday she had Turkducken and tomorrow she'll probably have Southern Delight.
