Lovely grub! More on Feeding Elderly Cats
Written by peter   

Some elderly cats are real good eaters - but, no matter how much they stuff themselves, they stay a little on the thin side.  Other senior cats seem to get excessively fat.    So, no matter how much advice there is on the side of cans and packets, the main thing to remember is that your cat is an individual - and the only way to judge the right amount of feed is by condition.

 

But why feed from cans, packets and pouches?   The contents are hardly fresh are they?  We don't even know exactly what's in them, except that it will most probably include 'animal by-products'.   Not food fit for human consumption.  And the latter is what we should feed all cats, especially those who are getting on in years.  If you are meat eaters yourself, it's even easier.  An extra portion for the pusscat please.

Let's stop the intensive farming of turkeys

A turkey in his natural surroundings enjoying the sunshine

 

Turkeys are native to North America and at up to 4ft from head to tail, they are the largest birds found in the temperate parts of the world.   These are birds of woodlands and while they spend their days foraging on the ground for something good to eat, at night they roost in trees.   The typical diet of a turkey includes grubs, insects, spiders, seeds, grains and berries and, as they consume large quantities of pests, their prescence is of great benefit to the environment.

 
Horse meat back on the menu in France
Written by peter   

Up until the 1990's the number of horse meat shops in France was on the decline.  Now new ones are opening up every day.  Suddenly new shops are opening up and this ghastly trade in horsemeat is on the increase.   The origins of eating horses come from the siege of Paris in 1870 - it became a staple diet for a starving population.  Now it's seem to be a cult food and is priced accordingly.  People like to try something different , but eating horses is taboo and should always be considered so.
