not to make it a habit.

So what's wrong with Friskies? We've been feeding it to our cat for at least ten years now with no ill-effects. I swear... you people and your politically correct, knee-jerk BULLKRAP. You've always got to jump on the PC bandwagon against some time-honored product with an impeccable reputation. Like cats aren't supposed to drink milk and dogs aren't supposed to have chocolate. All of the things Americans have been doing for from well before any of you were ever born. The old ways are the best ways. Always. So leave well-enough alone. That's my advice.


No, sometimes we find out new things that should change our behavior.
My mother once told me to be careful in the sun and I told her that
people had been lying in the sun for a million years. And she answered
that people had been dying of Melanoma for a million years but they
didn't know that it was caused by lying in the sun.

Since I'm now a pretty old (60+) surfer, that was something I did take
to heart and always used some sunscreen. And on the beach I'm always
under an umbrella.

As for cat food, it depends what studies find out. Do some cats have a
bad reaction to milk? Of course they do, and so do some people. So I
give my cats a bit of milk as a treat, but not as a regular thing.
They actually prefer the water from tuna cans.

I do notice that if I feed the cats Friskees or 9Lives for a few days
their litterbox does stink more than if they eat higher quality food.

And I'd be willing to bet that the Friskees today are made of crapier
stuff than the Friskees of bygone years.
