Scientist claims that animals can tell right from wrong

(although that's a little misleading IMHO. The animals are exhibiting characteristics that comport with what western society thinks is right and wrong.)

We use Wellness, but had to switch the kittens off of it as it was too rich for them (litterbox issues, ahem). Both are almost 1 so we may try it again and see what happens.

Scientist claims that animals can tell right from wrong

...and then they go ahead and do what's wrong anyway. Or perhaps my pets are just in the Evil League of Pet Evil.

Also, I had *no* idea that Iams was crap. The vet always says the pets are robust, so I figure they're okay.

WS, I set you some questions about cat food -- I think I've got enough info to start.

And while I can't prove it -- I believe that one of the reason the cases of diabetes have grown in the world is the amount of refined grains we eat. and for cats, that are meant to almost pure carnivores too much grain is even more likely to be a real problem.

and there is lots of ma~~~ to send out, so I am .

beth b - I agree with you, and I can produce, not proof, but epidemiological data that backs it up.

Now, where are my soda and chips?

I noticed that there is HFCS in my whole grain bread. WTF? I mean seriously, in my whole grain bread.

Seriously!

Thanks a lot, cat people! Look at the psychic damage you've inflicted on me.

We love you anyway, Hec. Sorry to have scarred you, especially when we don't see your font here so often.

He's healthier and happier than he's ever been.

Excellent news, Sean!

It is my understanding that most veterinary school nutrition classes are sponsored by either Hill's or Iams. The thing is, at this point I don't know if I ever saw actual documentation that this is a fact or if this is one of those "everybody says" factazoids. Well, here is a veterinarian who says he learned jack squat about nutrition at vet school: [link] and while he doesn't say his official nutrition classes, which were apparently non-existent, were sponsored by Hill's and Iams, he does say that those companies did sponsor "events" at his vet college. At this point I no longer take my veterinarians' word on food as gospel, just a starting point for my own research. I am a big advocate for reading labels for ourselves, for understanding what they really say, and making our own informed decisions.

Bread is one of those stealth foods that almost always has HFCS, in my experience.

I just checked, and mine doesn't. But then, I get organic hippie-type bread from Whole Foods.
