Yes, I've seen a lot of people with sick animals post in this newsgroup, and
unfortunately quite a few seem too young to have these diseases. As to 20+ year old cats, we have some in my raw diet group. These are cats that have been on a raw diet long term. Lauren I was looking up posts of people who mention cats older than 20 and found this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I was watching Guiness Book of World Records show on TV last night. (okay, I admit I got sucked in by the preview of a man squirting milk from his eye) They had a segment on a cat named Grandpa that was reported to be 34 yo when he died. He said that the kitty liked to drink coffee and eat eggs and bacon for breakfast. The guy that Grandpa owned even had a little funeral for him, make shift casket and all and he had video of the other cats going up to Grandpa and paying their respects. I don't know the breed of the cat but it was of a hairless variety. Wow is all I can say, I can't imagine having Dusty around for 34 years. This guy had like 20 cats I think and he has one now that just celebrated her 29th birthday. (cake with a candle and all!) Did anyone else see this or was I in a TV induced stupor after seeing milk shoot out of a mans eye, or make that 2 men, he had a challenger!? Nope, it was real! That 29 year old cat sure looked good! I've seen aged cats before and they don't usually look that healthy. The show said that Grampa was a hairless Rex, but I think he may actually be a Sphinx. Deb ------------------------------------------------------------------ Eggs, bacon and coffee for breakfast and lived to be 34 years old... And it seems this record was not yet broken. And the same guy has another one who just turned 29. I suppose he also feeds this one eggs, bacon and coffee for breakfast. Makes you think, doesn´t it? |

LOL, it does I had thought I heard that Grandpa ate a lot of broccoli, or that might have been another long lived cat. ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |

(PawsForThought) wrote in message Pet food companies advised against raw meat 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. Oh yeah, I forgot about Wysong. I think they are completely different from any commercial pet food company I've ever seen. ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |

PHD pet foods also suggest using their kibble as part of a complete diet including plenty of raw meat. -Alison in OH |

@aol.comnolitter enlightened us with... 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* ------------------------------------------------- ~kaeli~ Jesus saves, Allah protects, and Cthulhu thinks you'd make a nice sandwich. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace ------------------------------------------------- |
