There is something about the presence of a cat... that seems to take the bite out of being alone....
loves his foodies |
The key to good cat food is its nutritional content which should mimic nutritional composition of a "natural" diet for cats. The term natural refers to anything that they can catch and feed themselves. While supplemental food is sometimes needed, the natural foods are best for the health and diet of your cat. Cat food can sometimes be considered natural and contain no artificial ingredients, but it's not really a "natural" food in the same sense of what cats eat in the wild.
still his favorite |
beginning of sore paw:( |
We have recently been trying to switch Brutus from his regular dry food. Right now he is eating Science Diet, but we have noticed that his left paw is normally sore and swollen and were not sure as to what was going on...
resting his little head:) |
relaxed as usual:) |
A visit to the vet, some antibiotics and all was back to normal within a couple of weeks, but 2-3 months later same thing happens again. Back to the vet, same thing antibiotics again, but this time the vet told us that maybe the food he was eating was causing him to have an allergic reaction. She said that the food was high in corn content. Never heard of this before but for Brutus we were/are willing to try anything.
our baby:) |
It's been almost a month now trying to get him to switch foods and though it's going OK he still wants his old food in the mix, the good thing is that I believe it is working. He does not have that redness and swelling under his paw. I want to believe that this is all it was.
gobble gobble... |
they love each other.. |
When we play with our cat, who knows if we are not a pastime to him more than he is to us?....Cats were put into the world to disprove the dogma that all things were created to serve man...
until next time...
