Hello from another Loki variant!

You know that many vets and universities get kick backs or receive funding from kibble companies right? I was training to be a vet nurse (I have the prerequisite qualification and only reason I didn’t finish was because my disability worsened and I was unable to do the clinic hours) so I’m not just some rando giving advice… We switched our cats to raw food a decade ago and they have never been healthier. Cats are obligate carnivores and in the wild they eat almost nothing but raw meat (a little vegetable matter in the guts of their prey and eating grass, etc). Cats have evolved over millennia to eat raw meat. Their physiology is not adapted to eat the high amounts of carbohydrates in kibble. Not to mention the high rates of kidney disease, diabetes, dental disease, etc. with feeding kibble. Kibble is a species inappropriate diet no different from humans eating junk food. For the same reasons humans get diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc. from eating junk food, cats suffer poor health eating kibble. The kibble industry is a billion dollar industry with a vested interest in keeping vets and pet owners hooked. If you can’t feed raw, feed wet. Its not ideal, bit it’s far better than kibble. Your kitty deserves better than the bs the kibble industry spouts.

EDIT: While I’m thinking about it, do not feed cats beef. It is one of the single biggest contributors to allergies. Small cats eat small prey and cows are definitely not small. Again, their physiology is not designed to handle digesting meat from large animals. Beef is allergenic to cats.

Bold of you to assume many people know better.

Our cats have always been fed raw and they get fed twice a day. One of our cats, the vet said he was “the most beautiful specimen I ever seen”. He’s just a basic tabby (rescue) but does indeed have the most glorious fur. Our failed foster’s pervious owner fed her an expensive fancy diet but kibble and we thought she had coarse fur. After months with us on raw, she also has gloriously soft fur and what we thought was psychological urination issues also cleared up.

Those are some impressive void murder mittens 🙀

Giving cats diabetes and heart disease is HILARIOUS 😕

also smokers having reduced sense of smell!

Nowadays I feel like people have nuked their sense of smell with fragrance generally. I trip to anyone else’s house and I get headaches from the amount of automatic fragrance despensers, reed diffusers, essential oil atomisers, scented this that and the other on top of bombing themselves with strongly scented body products and sprays.

I see your Loki is just a mischevious as ours 😹

What else does one do with empty chocolate foil?

How old are you? I was a kid in the 1980s and most cats I knew as a kid lived till around 18. Oldest cat I can recall was 22. My spouse and I commented recently that it’s weird seeing so many people online these days thinking that a 12-14yo cat was old and wondered what the heck was going on that kitty lifespans have shortened so much from when we were kids (or our own cats). 🙀
