Before lots of people started
feeding their cat commercial cat food, (crunchy type or canned food) what were they feeding their cat? My childhood cat, in the late 1930s and the '40s, was a city boy (neutered) & spent more time indoors than out, but he still managed to catch mice. Kitty-Boy didn't eat them, though. He brought them in, sometimes still kicking, and presented them to my father. Once he hid a dead one, probably captured in the basement, under a corner of the Oriental rug in the living room. I presume he meant to give it to my father when he got home from work. But Kitty-Boy forgot about the mouse until the stench compelled us humans to organize a search party! We fed Kitty-Boy Rival dog food (canned) and table scraps. Commercial cat food didn't exist back then. Once a week I was sent to the butcher shop for his special treat -- lamb's kidneys. We minced the kidneys, and the cat wolfed them down raw. We also gave him milk or cream frequently. I don't remember that it gave him any problems with diarrhea. Kitty-Boy lived for 11 years, in good health until he developed urinary blockage. There was no treatment back then, so he was euthanized. Thank God for today's small-animal veterinary care and improved diets. Margie aka Great Granny to send e-mail, erase "goaway" |

Science Diet is very poor quality pet food. The main ingredient is ground
corn, which has little nutritional value. Always avoid any pet food which lists corn as the main ingredient. Nutro Max is one of several quality brands which will provide more complete nutrition. |
