Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / November 2004Cats on diet
Like human, like animal The Atkins diet may be a fading fad, but the low-carb lifestyle is making its way into pet-food stores nationwide. at http://www.washtimes.com/culture/20041111-111158-2042r.htm > Like human, like animal > The Atkins diet may be a fading fad, but the low-carb lifestyle is > making its way into pet-food stores nationwide. > at http://www.washtimes.com/culture/20041111-111158-2042r.htm One thing I think makes sense for people and cats--if you are not eating what you want, you will eat too much of what is around, trying to find satsfaction, and get fat. I think Buddha's high-carb dry diet cat food is partly to blame for her obesity. >From: "Mary" crazyaboutfelines@yahoo.com >> Like human, like animal >> The Atkins diet may be a fading fad, but the low-carb lifestyle is [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >satsfaction, and get fat.

I know it does with myself :( As to the article, when Mickey and Meesha were kittens, when I first got them I was feeding them Halo's Spot's Stew. It looked exactly like beef stew for people (of course with cat appropriate supplements added). I don't know if most cats would like it though because it wasn't stinky like typical cat food.

They do best on a high protein low carb diet in general. > Like human, like animal > The Atkins diet may be a fading fad, but the low-carb lifestyle is > making its way into pet-food stores nationwide. > at http://www.washtimes.com/culture/20041111-111158-2042r.htm |
