AS with people, is it a good thing for cats too to skip a meal once in a while, say once a week (which is what I tend to do myself)? What makes you think it's a good idea for people to skip meals? That's kind of crazy - if you're overweight or eat too much, it would be better to correct your poor eating habits. |

That's the most ridulous thing I've ever heard. You're going to starve
your cat to lose weight?! How absurd, cruel and retarded. Just ignorant. How about ever hear of diet food, strick diet. Regular meals, smaller quantities? Might want to look into that. What kind of person skips meals to lose weight. Any idiot knows smaller quantities more often is better for your health and metabolism. If any meal is skipped the body automatically goes into safety mode and stores all food afterwards as fat because it doesn't know when the next meal is coming. Think clearly before you do something so ridiculous and hard yourself or your cat!! JQ |

My thoughts may be right or not but they don't affect what I feed the cat. I am not going to change the actual diet based on impulses or some newsgroup thread, without considerable validation from diverse sources. You are probably not used to the research world where people routinely analyze a lot of "what if" scenarios. |

There is immense vloume of research that occasional fasting---typically one meal per week, skip the food but not water---is good for human health, even independent of weight considerations. Of course, cats are different and the same may or may not apply to them. References to any research that may have been done are more useful than knee-jerk arguments and name calling. |
