Oh yeah, I forgot about Wysong. I think they are completely different from any
commercial pet food company I've ever seen.

I actually found some Wysong at the Whole Foods near me. The cats
wouldn't touch it. LOL

Pro Plan finally came out with wet food - the only other wet the kids
will eat besides that horrible Fancy Feast. We've tried every brand I
could find. That's all they like. *sigh*

Pet food
companies advised against raw meat (but of course they would) and vets did
too
because they had no experience with raw diets, and the ones I came across had
learned what they knew about feline nutrition from brochures from pet food
companies or from pet food company reps.

Which pet foods companies did you contact that "advised against raw meat" as
you put it? I think you're making this up again.

I found a vet who had many years of
experience feeding raw diets to cats.

Sure you did.

Except for Wysong. That is one company I have a deep respect for
because they show a deep respect for their customer. And Dr. Wysong is
another one who says no animal can be 100% healthy without raw in its
diet.

PHD pet foods also suggest using their kibble as part of a complete diet
including plenty of raw meat.

I've never heard of PHD. Are they available at pet food stores or do you have
to order on line?

Granpa Rex Allen was a Sphynx, and pedigreed (his papers proved his age to the
Guiness Book of Records). Proof too that contrary to popular opinion, a
purebred cat can live as long or even longer than many a mixed breed cat.

I'm keeping track of the foods that my cats like and dislike. Early
conclusions are easy. They don't like turkey. They like lamb. They
hate Wysong everything. Too bad because I do prefer they would eat
that. Well, at $1.15 a can, maybe not. I give them Wysong and they
give me nasty looks.
