Great article! We only feed our cats cat food. Snacks are never carbohydrates. And, no dog food for the cats, because dog food has a certain amount of carbohydrates. Actually, the cat we have now has kidney issues, so that requires a special diet, with special cat food ($). When I was growing up, the cats got their own food, mostly. We lived in the country and they caught mice. That was considered the cat's job.

I guess the lifestyle of cats got upgraded with technology. To be honest, I think they are better off allowed to hunt and fend for their own food. They can be fed other diets secondarily. What caused the kidney issue with your cat? I am curious to know

Hi @gentleshaid: The cat had been rescued from a car engine as a kitten. It seemed to be healthy but then suffered a urinary blockage when it was one or two years old. After that we were told it had kidney issues and needed a special diet. This seems to be pretty common with cats. I guess if the cat lived outdoors, on its own, it would probably just die.
