OT - Re: healthy diet for a cat?

[Guest guest]

Would just like to add - our cats live mainly outdoors. I used to feed them raw

(waste) meat from the supermarket, they would also hunt. 1 year ago the

supermarket stopped selling the pet meat & we ended up feeding them mainly

canned food (we can't afford to feed them all meat) - suddenly our 11 year-old

white cat got cancer on his ears & had them cut off - I believe the change in

food was the culprit.

Hi Jewel,

Sorry to hear about your cat. I have been able to find food for my dogs from

some of the grass-fed farmers in the area. Many of them keep so many herd

dogs, usually Pyrs, which eat all the meat scraps! But, some of the farmers

sell their scraps for pet food.

Also around here there are hunters who get far too much to eat, we are

paying for processing to get some venison and other things. Maybe a wild

hog (wont feed that raw though). =)
