Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 this is good to know... although I will be really sad if I have to get rid of my plants... although Imay be able to move things to a different room... we plan to keep her out of the office.. that way if we have anyone visit that has cat issues, they can sleep in there.. and we plan to keep her out of our bedroom, but I'm doubtful as to how long that will last... =) my MIL has pet insurance... I'll have to ask her about that... wouldn't it be funny (not ha ha.. odd) to have pet insurance, but not have health insurance for my family! lol On Wednesday, October 12, 2005, at 02:27 PM, PuterWitch wrote: > My two eat any plant.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Does anyone have any pertinent recipes for cats? My cat can't tolerate wet canned food. I really hate to cook meat for her which doesn't fit in with her diet. She gets low protein crunchies from the vet's office, which I gather contains the nutrients she needs, plus she mooches off me for peas, carrots, etc. She is on a low=protein diet. She had the iodine cure for hyperthryoidism, but the vet seems to think that a low protein diet will reverse the damage. She's doing great at this point and putting on weight but she wants some variation in her boring diet. Any recipes would be appreciated. ~Melanie ________________ Ask a question on any topic and get answers from real people. Go to Answers and share what you know at http://ca.answers.
