I beg your pardon? My vet did not recommend kibble, and I never said he or she did. You have the right to your opinion, but that does not take my rights away. And it is not in accordance with the rules. I'm quite disappointed; this sort of post is what keeps many people away from this particular forum. Many good members leave when not treated with respect.
Rule 1b. Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users.
Cat Forum : Cat Discussion Forums - Announcements in Forum : The Lounge
My animals are pets, members of my family, and I love them as such. I do what I believe is best for them. And you are welcome to do the same. I feel sorry for feral cats who have to kill to eat. So, we disagree. In fact, I moderate the feral forum, and I thank God for those who care for them.
The Cat Forum does not belong to you or me. We are only granted the privilege to be a member here, or serve here. The reason this particular section of the forum is here because I answered a request from Muzby and presented the idea to the owner, who was Catman (at that time.), and he complied with her request.
Vets can read, and have common sense. I would not go to one who recommended only kibble. In fact, I have
never gone to a vet who recommended kibble. These men and women are intelligent, educated people. I think the ten or so years they spend studying their subject speak for that. Most, I'm sure, realize that an hour or two lecture by a representative from a cat food company is not sufficient!
You mentioned the word "recently." That's true. My mother's cats were fed bread and milk and scraps, and so were most cats at that time, but mine were fed canned from the time I was married and had my own cat.
Of course, as you said, you don't listen to anyone else. Are you here, then, only to represent your own views? We have some intelligent members. I know that I am still learning, and that learning is a lifelong project. I guess we disagree on almost everything. I'll leave it at that.
