(Anonymous) 2016-05-06 12:00 am (UTC)(link)If your cat's doing well (healthy according to a vet) and not having issues with vomiting or diarrhea or allergies, there's no need to change its food because someone on the internet said so.
Re: Pet food poll
(Anonymous) 2016-05-06 12:01 am (UTC)(link)But if you do decide to switch, make sure you do so gradually, because sudden changes in diet will cause upset stomachs.
Re: Pet food poll
(Anonymous) 2016-05-06 12:15 am (UTC)(link)You could feed your kid just candy and garbage without any fruits or vegetables or proteins, and the kid might be "healthy" but that doesn't mean the diet is.
And while certainly not trusting random internet anons about diet/health issues is perfectly reasonable, all OP has to do is research for about two minutes on Google and learn what kinds of diets cats need and why many/most mainstream brands are the literal equivalent of feeding your cat nothing but junk food.
Re: Pet food poll
(Anonymous) 2016-05-06 01:08 am (UTC)(link)Also, not everything you read on the internet is true. You should put in more than 2 minutes on Google before you make any major decisions, in any area of life.
Re: Pet food poll
(Anonymous) 2016-05-06 01:12 am (UTC)(link)Meow Mix and similar cat foods do NOT meet a cat's nutritional needs. A cat can be "healthy" in spite of a very bad diet, that doesn't make the diet okay. As I said with feeding kids only garbage, or with smoking. you can be healthy in spite of it but it still is NOT good.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-06 01:23 am (UTC)(link)so you advocate feeding the cat garbage. the evolutionary biology of a cat making them strict carnivores? clearly flawed logic, yes, such internet lies.
Re: Pet food poll
(Anonymous) 2016-05-06 01:35 am (UTC)(link)Try googling 3 minutes. It's not enough to copy and paste a factoid you found on a blog, you need to understand why a thing is the way it is. Cats are obligate carnivores because they require compounds from meat that they cannot synthesize on their own. Like taurine. Cats need taurine to live, okay? Okay.
And you know what?
Every single meat-based grain-free food has taurine as an added ingredient, just like every other lowly plebeian cat food you can think of to snub your nose at. Every single one I googled (I spent like 4 minutes, you'd be proud):

Why would they need to add this if these foods are so superior to Meow Mix?

(Anonymous) 2016-05-06 01:50 am (UTC)(link)well the candy I exclusively feed my 6-year-old has added vitamin C WE'RE GOOD GUYS DON'T WORRY
Re: Pet food poll
(Anonymous) 2016-05-06 01:57 am (UTC)(link)Re: Pet food poll
What is going on here? Are you really arguing that Meow Mix the best thing to feed a cat? Even inside a brand some of their products will be better than others. Like the Purina Indoor Advantage is better than the Purina Indoor Delights. (Guess which one costs more though -_-;)
I don't think MeowMix!anon needs to be shamed for their pet food choices, but the alternative is not to argue that Meow Mix is just as good as every other line of cat food. There are better ones. And there are probably worse ones.
