Cooking for cats with diarrhea

I see no evidence for a supposition that cats do anything but tolerate carbohydrates, some cats more than others. Tuna is not a natural part of a cat's diet. It should be a treat, not fed daily. For one of my cats, the recipe at the top of this thread is the only thing I know that does not cause diarrhea. I can't omit Wasabi, either. I do not know about Paprika, because I've never run out of that. It goes with eggs, anyway. My other cat seems to be able to eat just about anything; kibble, canned turkey and cheeze, tuna keesh, popcorn, mayonaise, butter -- and she haz never had diarrhea. She does occasionally barf, though I think that haz more to do with hairballs than anything else, now that she is over three years old. _______ Cats do not really hav names. The only thing in the world that knows the name of a cat is an electric can opener or a warm lap. |

In Japan, they sometimes get over $100,000 for just one tuna fish. - I am amazed at the price in the local super. I pay 50 cents for a 5-1/2 oz. can. Of course, they ruin it by cooking it...:^) My owner in topic absolutely devours raw tuna. If it did not seem to be part of the only way to avoid diarrhea in that cat, I would not cook Tuna with eggs. I know that cooking degrades some oils in fish. So, when I eat fish myself, it is canned and not cooked. _______ Sorry, but I forgot all about the Amnesia Convention! |

That would be a live large one (several hundred lbs) and to translate to dollars, remove the first 2 zeros for a rough estimate. Cut down, you have over 100 lbs of sashimi or '10$ a lb'. I am amazed at the price in the local super. I pay 50 cents for a 5-1/2 oz. can. Of course, they ruin it by cooking it...:^) There's 'tuna' and there's 'tuna'. Several types of fish are called that. The type in cans isn't the expensive version. My owner in topic absolutely devours raw tuna. If it did not seem to be part of the only way to avoid diarrhea in that cat, I would not cook Tuna with eggs. I know that cooking degrades some oils in fish. So, when I eat fish myself, it is canned and not cooked. Grin, hate to tell you but all canned fish is cooked. It's part of the canning process. It's not only for presevation but to kill any possible marine parasites. |

One of my cats loves it too, but it is very salty, and I don't think it is good for her. I used to eat a canned sardine that was packed in Jalapeno's. One of my cats loved it, even though it was so hot I could barely stand it. I finally decided that she couldn't taste the heat, probably because cats don't eat vegatable matter, so after millions of years, their tongues have probably lost their ability to taste red pepper acid. Anyway, she and I would really enjoy those canned treats...... |

Actually, Bill, it is the other way around. Peppers have evolved their "hot" substance to be specific against mammal plant-eaters. Because peppers are meant to be eaten by birds, the substance is selectively hot against mammals, while the birds don't feel it and eat peppers to spread the seeds. While mammals (especially rodents) destroy the seeds with their teeth while eating them, and the peppers don't want that! -- You'd be crazy to e-mail me with the crazy.

Its amazing to me that the pepper seeds manage to make it through the digestive process without harm... Ain't evolution grand? |

Cooking for cats with diarrhea

: 170 mL London Drugs Tuna 2 Eggs 5 mL Wasabi Powder 5 mL Paprika 700 W microwave oven Mix well. Microwave on high for three minutes. Mix again. Microwave on high for another minute. Serve hot. ------- I picked up Stevie as a stray about six months ago. She had a persistent case of diarrhea until about two weeks ago, when I started cooking for both of my owners...can't keep Stevie out of Skittles' food, so they both get cooking. Stevie is a voracious eater of raw tuna--still goes bonkers, running and jumping all over the place when I open a can. Unfortunately, raw tuna brings diarrhea back. Now that Skittles has accepted the smell of Salmon (perhaps due to Stevie's enthusiasm), I could serve that raw. Of course, Salmon, in its nearly pure human-targeted form is a lot more expensive, so it will likely be a special treat when I feel like eating some. My owners won't touch raw or canned hamburger, and they love a grilled pattie. I haven't fed my owners enough of it to know if beef is an option. _______ [ http://ecn.ab.ca/~brewhaha/ BrewJay's Babble Bin] I certainly haven't tried everything but my cat has diarrhea from everything I tried except two flavors of Fancy Feast 'Trout Feast' and 'Chicken Feast in Gravy'. Both are very scarce locally. However, I found that she can eat Wellness plain chicken canned food with no problem, right from the first meal. She's grown tired of it but will still eat it if nothing else is available. I've not tried other flavors because the store that carries Wellness only orders by the case - none for sale from stock. Wellness does not provide samples of canned food. I tried one meal with a sample of the Wellness dry 'Indoor Health' food but it caused diarrhea. Unfortunately the only store here that carries Wellness has terrible service. I'm about to run out again after two two-case orders were not filled. Ordering on-line has very expensive shipping. Unfotunately this canned Wellness evidently has no fiber so I have to add Benefiber to one meal and canned pumkin to another to reduce the number of hairballs.
