So... I have a dilemma and a few questions for you guys. This may be a provocative topic, but..
First, my kitty. There is commonly accepted healthy food, and then there is the food that he likes. Both are two different things. But he is eating well, drinking plenty, and leading a healthy lifestyle.
It got me thinking about human food and human health vs cat food and cat health.
As a human, I do not eat the healthiest food there is. I eat what I like, I cook most of my meals, I eat lots of bread, meat, some of my food is fried, and I hardly ever consume the recommended amount of veggies per day. I am physically active. And as a result, I am an extremely healthy person, barely ever get sick even with cold, and have no excess body weight.
There are people who eat all raw or vegetarian, or gluten free diets, and yet appear less healthy than me...
I know many people do their best to feed kitties grain free diets, raw diets, buy the healthiest brands of food... Talk about how horrible Purina and grocery store pet food is.
The question is... If you feed your pet the best food, do you yourself eat the healthiest food? (that is organic food, nothing deep fried, limited fat, salt and sugar, lots of fruits and veggies, 2 L of water per day, no alcohol, no smoking, etc.) Do you workout at least 45 minutes 3 times a week?
So... Is your kitty healthier than you are? And why (or why not?)
