Raw Cat Food !
Look at all the sources for raw cat food that I found!! I just ordered one bag of freeze-dried, and one bag of grain-free dry food. There are 244 different varieties of raw food at this site, check it out!
What Are By-Products?
Read the ingredients on you cat’s food bag or can. If you see “by-products” of any kind listed, watch the following two videos:
Kerosene and Crankcase Oil in Pet Food and Treats
Pet food and pet treat ingredients which include animal fat, meat meal, meat and bone meal, by-product meal, and animal digest commonly contain kerosene, fuel oil and/or used crankcase oil.
This is because these ingredients are derived from 4-D animals. Typically, these 4-D animals are denatured with approved agents such as “kerosene, fuel oil, or used crankcase oil”.
Wondering what 4-D meat is? The big D stands for DEAD, DYING, DISEASED, and DISABLED cattle and horses.
The Obama Administration has pledged to create an unprecedented level of openness and public participation in government. The FDA, in an attempt to abide by the Administration, has formed a ‘FDA Transparency Task Force.’ CLICK HERE to read an initial transparency guideline recommendation to the FDA regarding pet food.

What Causes Diabetes In Cats?
Cats do not have an enzyme called “glucokinase” in their livers. Glucokinase is a key enzyme that controls the metabolism of carbohydrates and prevents glucose from flooding the animal.
This means that when a cat eats carbohydrates, which are sugars, they are overloaded with glucose, causing damage to their pancreas and other organs.
Despite this, most major pet food manufacturers use corn or other grains in their meals. Cats are NOT grain-eaters, and the grain causes a great deal of damage, but it IS a CHEAP FILLER.
Here are the first few ingredients of 
Iam’s “HEALTHY NATURALS”: Chicken, Chicken By-Product Meal, Corn Meal, Chicken Meal, Salmon, Brewer Rice, Ground Whole Grain Barley, Corn Grits, Dried Beet Pulp, Dried Egg Product, Natural Chicken Flavor, Sodium Bisulfate, Potassium Chloride… if all the grains won’t ruin the health of your cat, the CHICKEN BY-PRODUCT MEAL will. This is a whole other story, and quite disgusting… 
Most commercial dry foods contain between 30% and 70% carbohydrates. If we examine the diets of wild felines, the carbohydrate intake would be less than 5%, if any at all.
Cats need their natural diet of fresh, RAW meat.
Should Cats Eat Fruit And Veggies?
It seems like most cats like fruits and vegetables to some extent. Since they are carnivores, we have to wonder if they actually need the nutrients in plants, just like the taste, don’t really know what’s good for them, or just eat what they see their humans eating.
First of all, extracting nutrients from plant-based foods requires bacterial fermentation of the cellulose based plant structure. The cat has a very simple digestive tract insufficient for bacterial fermentation. Food entering the cat’s stomach is broken down by acids and enzymes produced by the cat, and the nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine, so it seems that cats don’t require any added nutrition from plants since they can’t digest the plants. That’s why they eat grass, so they can barf it up.
The tongues of cats do not have receptors for sweets, so unlike other mammals, they cannot taste the sweetness of fruits. It’s a mystery why some cats really go for sweet fruits like bananas and cantaloupe if they can’t taste the best part, the sweetness!
Most people know that grapes and raisins can cause renal failure, but eating plant matter of any type also alters the body chemistry and causes urine pH to be alkaline. Naturally occurring minerals in the urine form solids when the urine’s pH is above neutral, causing urinary crystals – an epidemic disease of nutritional origin which causes the cat great pain, and can lead to death.
Fruits and vegetables can putrefy in the cat’s digestive tract due to the cat’s inability to efficiently break down the cellulose in plants. This can cause vomiting, gas, and/or diarrhea.
Plant matter in the cat’s diet can also interfere with the proper absorption of nutrients from animal source, and the overall amount of plant matter in the diet can displace much-needed animal based food. Diets containing plant matter are much less dense in nutritional and caloric value.
How about the food in the digestive tract of the mice and other animals that are a cat’s natural diet?
An adult cat needs to eat an average of five mice or 140g of mouse per day to meet its daily caloric requirement. Dissections of wild mice have revealed that a single mouse stomach – always found to be full - weighs 2 grams. The contents varied seasonally from blackberries, to nuts, to greens. Therefore, the cat would end up eating about 10 grams (or 2 teaspoons) of plant matter as part of her daily meal of mice, but that’s if the cat actually ate the stomach and intestines, which in most cases they don’t.
So, in the long run, it’s probably best not to let your cat eat fruit and vegetables, or only a tiny bit once in a while.
Preventing And Healing Cancer In Cats
Drugs do not cure cancer, neither does chemotherapy. They may kill cells, healthy cells and cancer cells alike, but they do not address the cause of the disease, nor do they give the body the nutrients it needs to heal.
Everyone, including animals, has cancer cells present at times in their bodies. If the immune system is working properly, these cells are killed or reabsorbed by the defense (immune) system before they begin to grow and threaten our health or the health of our pets.
Unfortunately, our immune systems, and especially those of a much smaller animal such as a cat, are under constant stress from the plethora of ARTIFICIAL SUBSTANCES in our food, water, and environment. All of these artificial substances (man-made chemicals, “vitamins”, pesticides, vaccines, plastics,fertilizers, etc etc) present as foreign invaders (TOXINS) to our bodies. It is very simple to understand that something that is not present in nature is artificial and therefore a foreign substance. Of course there are plenty of toxins in nature too, those that kill and those that give our immune system a workout. That’s enough. The additional toxins from man-made sources are proving to be overwhelming, just look at cancer statistics for both people and animals, cancer is now the number one killer of most domestic animals.
Shirley’s Wellness Cafe has reams of information on actually curing cancer, which seems preferable to putting aniumals through the torture of drugs and chemo only to have them eventually die of cancer, which is what happens if the underlying CAUSES of cancer are not addressed.

Irradiated Food Makes Cats (And People) Sick
Food irradiation uses high-energy Gamma rays, electron beams, or X-rays (all of which are millions of times more powerful than standard medical X-rays) to break apart the bacteria and insects that can hide in meat, grains, and other foods. Radiation creates substances called “unique radiolytic products, that can cause gene mutations, polyploidy (an abnormal condition in which cells contain more than two sets of chromosomes), chromosome aberrations (often associated with cancerous cells), and dominant lethal mutations (a change in a cell that prevents it from reproducing) in human cells. Many mutagens are also carcinogens.
Research also shows that irradiation forms volatile toxic chemicals such as benzene and toluene, chemicals known or suspected to cause cancer and birth defects. Irradiation also causes stunted growth in lab animals fed irradiated foods. An important 2001 study linked colon tumor promotion in lab rats to 2-alkylcyclobutanones (2-ACB’s), a new chemical compound found only in irradiated foods.
Irradiation is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for many human as well as animal foods.
In a study just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) report on cats developing severe neurological symptoms due to a degradation of myelin, the fatty insulator of nerve fibers called axons. Because myelin helps the conduction of nerve signals, when it is lost or damaged there can be impairment of sensation, movement, thinking and other functions, depending on what particular nerves are affected.
When the cats were taken off the irradiated diet, their nervous systems began healing.
I think it’s pathetic that animals have to suffer like this so that inferior quality, processed pet food can be tested. Just feed your cats an organic, raw, whole-food diet and you will prevent needless suffering to lab animals and your pets alike. 
Is it worth it?

Homeopathy For Cats And Other Animals (Including People)
Homeopathy has been around since the ancients Greeks, so it’s a very well-established system of healing.
The modern system of homeopathy was introduced by a German physician, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, in the nineteenth century.
Homeopathy uses extremely diluted natural substances that are derived from mineral, plant, or animal sources.
The Law of Similars (”like cures like”) is the basic principal of homeopathy. Whatever substance produces adverse symptoms in a healthy animal, will actually cure those same symptoms in a sick individual.
As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t make the least bit of sense, but, from personal experience, I know it works, and it’s not the “placebo” effect either. Let me explain:
About twenty years ago I had a friend who swore by Homeopathy, she just thought it was great. Well, my friend was a bit on the looney side anyway, so I pretty much ignored her on this subject. That is until I came down with The Sore Throat From Hell. It wouldn’t go away so finally, after two weeks or so she talked me into going to see her “Naturpathic” physician who would prescribe the exact remedy that I needed.
I ended up with this vial of little white pills that were to be placed under the tongue, they tasted sweet. I KNEW they would NOT work. The whole idea was ridiculous. The doctor (slim, trim and incredibly healthy-looking) couldn’t possibly believe in this stuff, it defies logic. Fully expecting to have to end up taking antibiotics I slipped those silly little white pills under my tongue.
A few hours later, the pain eased up. The next day it was almost gone, and two days later it was gone completely. I still wasn’t a believer though, it took awhile. Since that time I’ve found that Homeopathic remedies worked very well on my kids, and usually but not always for me. The thing is, they have to be matched EXACTLY to your symptoms. Yellow mucous would require a different remedy than greenish mucous for example, so store-bought remedies might not be exactly what you need.
I’ve never used Homeopathy for the cats, they’ve never been sick except for the time that Sumari ate the bee and her throat swelled up, I didn’t know at the time that it was OK to use Homeopathic remedies on animals, but you can go to this site The Academy Of Veterinary Homeopathy to learn more. Here is an excellent book on the subject:
Homeopathy for Your Cat: Remedies for Common Feline Ailments
It makes far more sense to stay healthy in the first place by living in a healthy environment and having healthy thoughts and beliefs. That means cats should be eating their natural diet of raw critters, not processed, refined chemically-laden grain-based kibble. They need fresh filtered water, not tap water with chlorine, flouride and some 50 other toxic chemicals. Artificial chemicals and processed foods destroy the health of people, pets and the Earth.

Big Pharma Takes Over Veterinary Medicine
Mike Adams can be a bit sarcastic, but this article is so important I just copied the whole thing, It’s well worth taking the time to read.
REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION FROM NATURAL NEWS
Big Pharma has successfully completed its takeover of veterinary medicine in the United States and other first-world nations. Knowing that massive profits could be generated through the bodies of pets, drug companies have spent two decades pursuing an aggressive campaign of rewriting vet school curricula, influencing veterinarians and brainwashing pet owners into thinking their dogs, cats and horses need drugs in order to be healthy. It was an easy sell: Most consumers already demonstrate a cult-like belief in pharmaceutical medicine thanks to a barrage of direct-to-consumer advertising funded by deep-pocketed drug companies, and it was only a minor shift to get them to believe animals need synthetic chemicals in their bodies, too.
So today, the majority of veterinarians in the United States now practice chemical-based medicine on pets. At the first sign of any health symptom, they slap the animal with a prescription for expensive, patented pharmaceuticals. Arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, cancer and even depression are now being treated with dangerous prescription medications. Earlier this year, the FDA gave approval for Prozac, a powerful mind-altering drug, to be prescribed to dogs, and many of the most common drugs for people are now routinely used in pets (including chemotherapy drugs for cancer treatment).
(What’s next, Ritalin for puppies? Ten years ago, it would have seemed absurd to diagnose a dog as suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, but today, it’s no more insane than the mass diagnosis of human children with this utterly fictitious disease designed to do one thing: Sell profitable amphetamine drugs to children…)
Pet health is now in rapid decline
The result of all this is that our dogs and cats are sicker than ever. Ask any vet who’s been practicing for more than ten years: They’ve never seen such an increase in the rate of liver disease, nervous system disorders, cancers and diabetes. Ever wonder why? It’s because pets are being routinely poisoned with pet food and pet medicine. Popular anti-flea and anti-tick medications, all by themselves, are so toxic to the liver of any animal that if they were prescribed to humans, their side effects would make the Vioxx fiasco look like a harmless prank.
The idea of actually feeding your dog such high doses of poison that it ends up in the skin tissues where it kills ticks and fleas should be horrifying to any intelligent pet owner, yet most pet owners just buy what their vet tells them to buy, and they feed one chemical after another to their pets, oblivious to the fact that they’re actually poisoning them. (And then they wonder why their animals die of cancer a few years later… gee, didn’t anybody connect the dots here?)
Thanks to Big Pharma influence, veterinary medicine today has become just as much of a joke as the conventional medical system used to treat humans. The goal is no longer to actually heal anyone, but rather to maximize profits by treating and managing diseases without curing or preventing them. Many vets have figured this out, too: If they treat the animals with pharmaceuticals instead of actually curing them of disease (or preventing disease), they benefit from lucrative repeat business! And some of the fees charged by vets now — especially in emergency veterinary care — are just as outrageous as fees charged to sick humans in hospitals. I once spent more than $1,000 for a single day of treatment trying to rescue a sick dog, and half of those fees were for bags of saline solution dripped through an IV. $500 for saline solution? Give me a break. I got ripped off and taken advantage of by a pet care clinic that was exploiting pet emergencies for maximum profits. (There are crooks and dishonest practitioners in the pet care industry just like in the people care industry.)
Holistic animal care practitioners
It’s not all bad news, though. Fortunately, there are more holistic practitioners in veterinary medicine than in human medicine, and it’s fairly easy to find a holistic vet in any major city if you look around. The holistic veterinarians understand nutrition, herbs, homeopathy and other natural modalities. They prescribe solutions and treat animals in ways that are outlawed in human medicine (because they actually work). If you care at all about the health of your pets, I strongly urge you to seek out and work with a holistic pet care practitioner who avoids prescribing pharmaceuticals. Any veterinarian who thinks Fido is depressed and needs antidepressant drugs should frankly have their licensed stripped away and be banished to some distant, isolated South Pacific island overpopulated with sexually aggressive baboons.
Numerous natural products are also available for pet care today. One company I trust and strongly recommend is Azmira (www.Azmira.com), which offers a truly impressive assortment of herbal and homeopathic solutions for pet health challenges. They have a whole line of health products that have been tested and proven over two decades of clinical use to help with things like joint pain, respiratory infections, thyroid function, immune function and much more. See their product line here: http://www.azmira.com/Products.htm
You can also call Azmira at (U.S.) 520-886-1727 or 520-293-6639 (8 am - 5 pm Arizona time, which is Mountain Time for half the year and Pacific Time for the other half), and their knowledgeable staff will actually consult with you over the phone, free of charge, and try to help you explore the best solutions for your pet. Mention you heard about them from NaturalNews, please, since Dr. Lisa Newman has been a strong contributor to NaturalNews and authored the popular special report, Pet Food Ingredients Revealed! (a must-read report exposing the truth about pet food ingredients). We earn nothing from the sale of Azmira products and have no financial ties.
I’ve called Dr. Newman several times and found her and her staff to be incredibly knowledgeable, polite and highly motivated to help improve the health of pets everywhere. Please have patience with them, however. They have more calls than they can easily handle. You may spend time on hold or need to call back later. Please respect their time, as they are providing a much-needed service with the phone consultation. And if you take advantage of their time on the phone, please consider supporting their organization by purchasing some of their naturopathic products.
The future looks dim for mainstream pet health
When you look at the outrageous toxicity of mainstream pet food, and you combine that with the chemical burden of pharmaceutical medicine, the future of health for pets in America looks rather dim. The pet food being sold at stores — even the so-called “scientific” brands — are mostly crap. Only specialty pet food companies offer genuine food. (My favorites are www.Azmira.com and www.TheHonestKitchen.com ).
The way pets are being treated today by many mainstream veterinarians amounts to nothing less than the chemical abuse of dogs and cats by an industry that has, sadly, exchanged ethics for profits and no longer sees its primary mission as helping improve the quality of life of our animal friends. Personally, I’m outraged by the practice of drugging dogs, cats and other animals with synthetic chemicals to treat degenerative health conditions, and I think those who promote or follow such practices are engaged in extremely unethical, cruel behaviors that should be criminalized. Just like in the human health care system, nutrition has been thrown out the window and is now replaced with a system of chemical invasion that can only lead to a worsening of the long-term health of the animals exposed to such dangerous treatments.
The proper use of pharmaceuticals
Some chemical medicines do have a limited role in quality veterinary care, however. Painkillers have a useful but narrow role. Antibiotics, although they are widely abused, can be helpful in certain limited situations. But treating dogs with antidepressants, chemotherapy, diabetes drugs, statin drugs, osteoporosis drugs and other such chemical agents is patently absurd. Most pet health conditions can be easily prevented or cured with good nutrition, and more challenging health problems can be cheaply and safely solved with herbal therapies and other naturopathic modalities. There is no scientifically justifiable role in veterinary medicine for the majority of the pharmaceuticals now being pushed onto vets, vet techs, and pet owners.
Even the pet shelters are being influenced by Big Pharma. When I rescued my pet from a local animal shelter, I was given a DVD sponsored by a drug company. It offered to teach me about pet behavior while brainwashing me into thinking I needed to give my dog toxic pills for preventing ticks and fleas. As this simple example demonstrates, even the animal shelters are now in bed with Big Pharma. There’s almost no organization in pet health today that hasn’t been taken over (or strongly influenced) by Big Pharma.
It’s not enough to drug all the sick people in the world, you see. Big Pharma has to invent diseases and drug all the healthy people, too. And then, they have to drug all the children and infants to make sure those little beings are set up for future organ failure, which is even more lucrative for the drug companies later on. And just to drive yet more profits home, they’ve got to drug all the animals. Now the cats, dogs, horses, birds, lizards and other animals are no longer safe from the reach of Big Pharma. Drugs are posing a serious chemical threat to the health of pets.
There is almost no living creature left on this planet that hasn’t been considered a potential revenue source by Big Pharma, and if they could make money drugging all the fish in the ocean, you can bet they’d come up with a fictitious fish disease and find a way to drop little fish pills into the oceans of the world. Profit is the purpose. Health is irrelevant. And your precious pet is only seen as a vehicle for generating profits by an industry that has zero compassion for living beings (human, canine, feline or otherwise). There is no effort to protect life. It is only an effort to protect (and expand) profits.
What you can do right now
If you’re a pet owner, I urge you to do two things right now:
1) Switch to a healthy, natural, holistic pet food. Read the report, Pet Food Ingredients Revealed to learn the truth about pet food ingredients. And make fresh meals from scratch whenever possible. Pets should not be raised to live on processed foods.
2) Fire your drug-pushing vet and switch to a holistic or naturopathic animal care expert, even if they don’t have the same licensing credentials as the drug-pushing vet. State authorities, you see, are trying to de-license naturopathic vets, and there’s a big effort now to push naturopathic vets out of the industry. Sometimes you have to seek them out yourself and ignore state licensing boards (which are totally owned by Big Pharma, by the way). I’ve found that licensing credentials are essentially useless, and the more credentials some vet has, the more deeply they’re brainwashed into a pharmaceutical approach to veterinary medicine.
If you want a healthy pet, you’ve got to get back to basics: Nutrition, exercise, disease prevention and natural remedies. There is absolutely no rationale that justifies the routine chemical treatment of pets with patented, high-profit pharmaceuticals. Mainstream veterinary medicine, as practiced today, is a cruel, exploitive industry that ultimate causes significant harm to the very animals we should be trying to save.
Don’t be suckered by the “miracle pill” sales pitch. Dogs, cats and horses don’t need meds. What they need is great nutrition and medicine from nature.
Just like people.

Best Cat Site Ever!
Thanks to Anlina Sheng from Abnormal Love of Cats for telling me about Raw Fed Cats, an awesome website! I highly recommend that anyone owning a cat or dog or any pet read it from start to finish, especially if you have a cat or dog that’s sick.
Actually I highly recommend that anyone with KIDS should read it from start to finish. Heck, just send this link to everybody!
And please check out Anlina’s blog, one of the best cat blogs I’ve come across.
Grain In Pet Food
In September 2008, Petco had such deplorable warehouse conditions at a distribution center in Joliet, Il, the FDA and U.S. Marshals seized pet foods and treats due to insanitary storage conditions; rodent and bird infestation was found in the warehouse. Also in September 2008, a pet owner reported to the Consumerist.com website of maggot infestation in their recently purchased Beneful Dog Food. Consumerist.com stated when the pet owner called Purina for an explanation, she was told: “As soon as our food leaves our factory, it is no longer our responsibility.” Petsmart, where the food was purchased, also told the pet owner it was not their responsibility.
Try to avoid pet foods and treats with aflatoxin prone grains (corn, wheat). Every time you purchase a new bag of dog food or cat food, closely examine the bag or can for any tears in the packaging; return the food if the bag is soiled or torn. Examine the new food closely; make sure it looks and smells the same each time. Any variation of color, texture, or smell could be a warning of a problem with the food. Do not feed it to your pet if you have any doubts.
Cats, in particular, are not grain eaters. Grain is only put into pet food because it is CHEAP. The best diet for your cat is raw meat from grass-fed animals, such as Real Pet Food which can be purchased from Slankers Grass-Fed Meats
Is Tuna Safe For Cats?
Tuna can be fatal to cats and is not something to be fed to them…The human variety of tuna fish contains an enzyme that destroys vitamin B1 (thiamine). Cats who regularly eat tuna can develop a vitamin B1 deficiency, which results in neurological symptoms like dilated eyes, loss of equilibrium, seizures and death if this vitamin is not replaced. The scientific name of this disease is polioencephlomalacia.
High levels of mercury can make your cat sick. Albacore tuna has three times as much mercury as light tuna. Mercury is cumulative, meaning that the body does not get rid of it and it just keeps accumulating.
Tuna cans, and most all cans, are coated with plastic containing BPA. BPA is associated with a number of health problems and diseases that are on the rise in the U.S. population, including breast and prostate cancer and infertility. Your cat, being much smaller than a human, should never be exposed to such a dangerous toxin, yet most pet food cans are also lined with BPA containing plastic. No cat should ever be fed any kind of canned food, especially tuna. Trader Joe’s, however, does not use BPA lined cans, at this writing Whole Foods does. 
The high ash content in tuna (and other fish) is bad for cats, especially males.
Yes, cats love tuna, some even become addicted to it, but it is not safe and should never be given to cats,.
“Natural” Pet Food: Is It Better?
If you’ve been trying to improve your cat’s diet by buying “natural” food, you may be surprised to learn that “natural” means absolutely nothing. The food can still be laced with chemicals, by-products and other unhealthy ingredients.

Huge Growth in Dishonest Pet Food Claims
(NaturalNews) Packaged Facts, a market research firm, says that sales of natural pet food in the United States reached $1 billion in 2007; a 50 percent growth since 2003. The dilemma for pet owners is that ‘Natural’ doesn’t always mean natural.
The 2007 pet food recall started a domino effect. Pet owners began to take careful notice of what type of food they provide to their dog or cat; furthermore, pet food manufacturers began marketing to what seems to be selling the best, natural pet foods. http://www.hometownannapolis.com/cgi-bi…
When you think about what ‘natural pet food’ implies, most pet owners think natural means free from dyes and chemicals, inferior risky ingredients, a pet food that is healthy and premium. Pet food manufacturers have paid close attention to what consumers believe ‘natural’ implies, and in turn have developed pet food advertising to match consumer beliefs. Sadly, few have bothered to develop pet food with ingredients that consumers would define as natural.
A trip down the pet food aisle at any grocery, Target, or Walmart will show you many (newer) varieties of pet foods from long time producers; all with ‘natural’ blazoned across the label. Even the packaging colors tend to imply ‘natural’, featuring more earthy tones.
Compliments of pet food rules and regulations, Natural on the label doesn’t have to mean there’s anything natural inside the bag or can. As an example, one popular dog food with ‘natural’ in the name contains the ingredients Animal Fat and Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex. The pet food ingredient ‘animal fat’ was determined by the FDA to be the most likely pet food ingredient to contain a diseased euthanized animal. ‘Menadione sodium Bisulfite’ is a synthetic Vitamin K linked to cancer and organ damage. Doesn’t sound too natural does it?
Another new line of cat food features ‘Natural’ and ‘Healthy’ on the label. Yet the cat food contains the ingredients By-Product Meal, and Animal Fat. The pet food ingredient ‘By product meal’ can be bits and pieces of animal carcass that are unfit for human consumption; such as chicken feet, cow intestines, and diseased animals rejected for use in human foods. Again, doesn’t sound too natural does it?
Both of these new ‘natural’ pet foods sell nationwide at every major retailer. If existing Federal laws were enforced by the FDA, both of these ‘natural’ pet foods would violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, would be considered adulterated, and the sale of and transport of would be prohibited and subject to penalty.
Instead, well intentioned pet owners purchase these foods every single day; believing what the pet food label tells them, that the dog food or cat food is ‘natural’ and ‘healthy’. The truth is far from that with many.
Wishing you and your pet(s) the best,

Is Irradiated Food Safe For Your Cat?
It seems that Orijen Cat Food has caused the deaths of cats in Australia, and the suspected cause is the mandatory irradiation of the food. Here is a very interesting article that gives an explanation of the chemical by-products that are formed when foods are irradiated. CLICK HERE
Considering that more and more of our food supply is being irradiated it’s probably something we should all learn about.
Raw Food: Your Cat’s Natural Diet
I get raw grass-fed Real Pet Food from Slanker’s Grass-Fed for our kitties, it’s $1.98 a pound plus shipping but the shipping goes down a lot as the weight of the orders goes up. If anybody lives near Vernon, CT and would like to share an order to cut shipping costs let me know! I usually order 39 pounds (their minimum) shipping is about $1.50 a pound, but with a 65 pound order shipping would be about $.90.

A Discussion on Raw: Taking Your Pet’s Health into Your Own Hands
by Phoebe Kerr, citizen journalist
See all articles by this author

(NaturalNews) For many, the discussion of feeding your pet a raw food diet can be a scary thing. There is so much work and knowledge that is involved, not to mention all the health factors to take into consideration for both you and your pet. Or at least this is what your vet and mainstream media may lead you to believe. If it doesn’t come in a bag with feeding instructions on the back then can it really be trusted? There may be feeding instructions but there is also generally a list a mile long of ingredients and without a PhD in Veterinary Nutrition you would be lucky to know the purpose of half of those ingredients.
With the veterinary field booming because of illnesses such as diabetes, thyroid disease, obesity, dental disease and a slew of other issues it is time for people to take their pets health back into their own hands. Veterinarians are just like doctors, they make money by keeping their patients sick. Whether or not they are doing this intentionally is a different story, but they are keeping their patients sick. If you ask a vet what pet food they would recommend after they tell you your pet has three teeth that need to be removed due to dental disease, they would generally recommend a kibble or wet food that they also sell at their clinic. If your pet is obese they tell you to cut calories. Who can sit there and watch their poor animal, their responsibility, pout and beg for food because they are hungry? There are some enlightened veterinarians and technicians out there but for the most part they repeat what the pet food reps told them.
Raw food diets are a way to get your pet back to a simpler way of eating. Dogs are omnivores, cats are obligate carnivores and they require species specific food. Dogs benefit from a diet of predominantly raw meats. They do not need grains in their diet. Vegetable nutrients are best absorbed through pulverized vegetables, which can be achieved by using a high-speed blender to make them vegetable juice, consisting mostly of fresh greens, or giving them tripe. Dogs do not have the required teeth for grinding plant material making it difficult for them to get the nutrients and enzymes out of whole vegetables and greens. Cats need meat; their little systems are designed to eat meat. Their teeth are designed for slicing through meat and breaking small bones. Cats do not have any flat teeth for grinding herbaceous material.
One of the major areas of concern when giving your pet raw meat is parasites, bacteria and salmonella. If you are conscious of the type of meat you are buying, parasites should not be a problem. Make sure that you are purchasing meats from a reputable source and if you can afford organic grass fed that is an even better choice. Not everyone that wants to feed raw can afford the cost of organic however, so when you are milling through the meat aisle trying to find meat for your dog, make sure to look at the nutrition labels. The reason is because it is very important to take notice of the salt content. Salt water is pumped into some meat as a preservative. High sodium levels are indicative of meat that has been packaged with preservation being the main concern. Another thing to remember if you are unable to feed organic is a lot of meat companies use radiation to preserve their meat. If you can find a local farmer or raw food co-op that would be your best bet. Even if they aren’t getting organic product you are going to be getting a higher quality of meat, especially if you know the farmer. There are also a lot of internet sites that meat can be ordered from, although this option can become very expensive unless you are doing bulk orders. Salmonella and bacteria are more of a concern for yourself then for your pet. A dog’s digestive system is much shorter than that of humans and also becomes very acidic when food is introduced to it. The stomach acid kills off any bacteria that may be present on the meat. Dogs should not be fed pork or fish products to prevent parasite exposure. When preparing your pets’ food make sure you clean up your area and clean any other service the raw meat touches. This may sound like a lot of work but it really isn’t.
Another concern for many people is stomach or intestine perforation. This is a valid concern but the chances aren’t any higher than your pet choking on food (whether it be junk kibble, super premium kibble, home prepared food or a raw food). Everyone that has a dog or cat has heard at one point or another “chicken bones are dangerous.” Well this is true when you are referring to cooked chicken bones. Cooked chicken bones are brittle and rigid making the chance of breakage higher if consumed by your pet. When cooked chicken bones break they can form sharp ends that have the potential to puncture a pet’s intestinal wall. This is not to say that just cooked chicken bones are dangerous, any cooked bone is dangerous for your pet, even the smoked bones they sell at the pet store for chewing purposes. Raw bones are a completely different story. There is that chance of perforation, but it is a much smaller chance. Dogs systems are designed to process these bones. Softer bones are best for consumption but a lot of people also feed recreational bones, such as marrow (soup) bones, to keep their pet busy or to promote dental hygiene.
This is a very broad topic with many different points to cover. Raw food has many benefits for your pet. The same holds true for pets as it does for people, “you are what you eat.” Pets just have different requirements. By giving your pet a chicken wing or leg a day you will help promote a healthy lifestyle, more energy, healthy coat, pristine teeth and smaller bowel movements just to name a few. There is also the potential to turn your pet’s health issues around by putting them on a more natural diet. They are not little people and do not benefit from grains, legumes, beet pulp (watch out this is probably GM now), sugars, or any of the chemical preservatives that can be found in a generic bag of chow. If you wouldn’t eat it yourself, why would you feed it to your pets?

BPA in Canned Pet Food Linings
Reprinted with permission from Natural News For more information on BPA, plastics and other petrochemicals please go to my other blog at Creating Wealth and Health
(NaturalNews) Bisphenol A or BPA is an ingredient used to make hard, clear plastics and is also found in the lining of many canned products including pet foods. BPA is known to seep into food or liquids. The FDA, in typical fashion has waffled on its stance regarding the safety of BPA but recently the National Toxicology Program of the National Institutes of Health concluded that there is “some concern” that BPA may cause “problems in fetuses, babies and children, including breast or prostate cancer, early onset of female puberty, attention deficit disorder and other problems of the reproductive and neurological systems.”
Quoting NaturalNews.com: “More than 200 animal studies show that BPA is toxic at very low doses, and the explains that it has found BPA in alarming concentrations in 95 percent of patients being tested. The Environmental Working Group (www.EWG.org) recently released a shocking report describing the very high levels of BPA contamination in canned foods” (http://www.ewg.org/reports/bisphenola) .
Needless to say there is no research for the effects of BPA on pets. However, a pet owner can only conclude that BPA is just as risky for their pet as it is for themselves. Many canned pet foods contain BPA in the lining. The current stance AAFCO and the FDA have on BPA is that the small amount of seepage into the food is not harmful to pets. Perhaps this new stance by the National Toxicology Program will nudge the FDA to change its current position.
It’s been very intriguing to me that every pet food manufacturer I’ve asked this question of — which is many — all quickly respond; they are well versed on the issue of BPA. This tells me two things. The first thing it tells me is that the companies that tell me ‘no’ — their cans of pet foods contain no BPA in the lining are aware of the risks, and they have gone to the effort of providing canned pet foods free from the risks of BPA. The second thing it tells me is that those companies that tell me ‘yes’ — are either oblivious to the latest scientific research, or simply don’t care. A pet food company oblivious to science or not bothering to care and make the necessary changes doesn’t leave me with a very comfortable feeling.
The only way to know if your pet’s food contains BPA in the can lining is to call the manufacturer and ask. This information is also provided to subscribers of Petsumer Report (in case you don’t wish to call). As with several other pet food concerns, taking the time to discover if BPA is in the lining of your pet’s canned food is worth the effort.

What’s Really In Your Pet’s Food?
Pets Can’t Lie, but Pet Food Manufacturers Legally Can |
(NaturalNews) You come home from work and notice your dog or cat peeping at you from around the corner, you immediately know something’s up. Regardless whether you discover a ‘present’ left on the living room rug or a broken vase from the cabinet they aren’t supposed to be up on, pets can’t lie — they tell us the truth every single time. Pet food manufacturers on the other hand can lie and keep a straight face about it — every single time.
Changing the name to protect the pet food company identity, here is part of the new advertising for a pet food:
“Healthy Living… Yes, living healthy can be delicious”.
And from the website of the same food company (changing some of the wording):
“Healthy Living Pet Food provides an abundance of tasty, wholesome ingredients giving your pet the perfect balance of nutrition and taste. Your pet will relish the new flavors. The same quality nutrition you enjoy can do the same thing for your pet.”
Now, here is the actual ingredient list from the pet food that advertises healthy, abundance of wholesome ingredients, and implies it’s the ‘same quality’ as your food.
Ingredients:
* Chicken by-product meal
* corn gluten meal
* ground yellow corn
* soybean meal
* ground wheat
* animal fat preserved with mixed-tocopherols (form of Vitamin E)
* salmon meal
* salmon
* chicken
* powdered cellulose
* brewers rice
* animal liver flavor
* soybean hulls
* malt extract
* phosphoric acid
* calcium carbonate
* salt
* choline chloride
* dried spinach
* parsley flakes
* dried cranberries
* dried carrots
* dried cheese powder
* potassium chloride
* taurine
* added color (Red 40, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Blue 2)
* Vitamin E supplement
* zinc sulfate
* ferrous sulfate
* manganese sulfate
* niacin
* Vitamin A supplement
* calcium pantothenate
* thiamine mono nitrate
* copper sulfate
* riboflavin supplement
* Vitamin B-12 supplement
* pyridoxine hydrochloride
* folic acid
* Vitamin D-3 supplement
* calcium iodate
* biotin
* menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of Vitamin K activity)
* sodium selenite.
Every ingredient that is considered risky by many pet food experts is listed in bold. For those that are not aware, ‘By-Products’ and any variation such as ‘chicken by-product meal’ in this pet food are left-over ingredients from the processing of human foods. Bits and pieces of meat producing animals that are not considered safe or desirable as ‘people food’. These bits and pieces can also come from drugged or diseased animals rejected for use in human food. ‘Animal Fat’ is the pet food ingredient the FDA determined to be most likely to contain a euthanized animal; and the drug used to euthanize them. ‘Added color’ is added to some pet foods to make it ‘look’ more appealing to the pet owner; color provides no nutritional value to the pet. ‘Menadione sodium bisulfite complex’ is a very controversial synthetic vitamin K.
Does this pet food seem “healthy”, have an “abundance of wholesome ingredients”, or look like it’s the “same quality nutrition you enjoy”? Me either.
Even though few pet owners would agree that the advertising tactics of this pet food company and many others are fair and honest, the rules of pet food manufacturing allow this. “Unqualified claims, either directly or indirectly” are legally acceptable with existing regulations.
So let me ask you a question, if you were driving on the German Autobahn — the recommended driving speed is 81 miles per hour — but there is no speed limit, would you drive 81 miles per hour? Even if other cars are zooming past you? Very few would (very few do).
Now that I’ve got you thinking, why should a pet food manufacturer tell you their pet food contains ‘an abundance of left over bits and pieces rejected for use in human food’ when they don’t have to? Don’t misinterpret my point, I still think it’s wrong. However, until pet food regulations change, and insist that every pet food producer provide accurate and honest information on their labels and in their advertising, why should they drive the recommended speed when they can drive the Autobahn?
There are over 70 million U.S. homes with pets. If each one of those pet owners sent a message to their Congressman, their Senator, and even to Barack Obama and John McCain and said they are tired of the way things are, and want changes to the regulations of all consumer products — including pet food, things would change. Seventy million emails and/or letters would have a very loud voice. Write some emails, send some letters.
