Cat Forum / General Topics / February 2007My Cat Loves Vegetarian Baby Food
Dee adores Earth's Best Summer Vegetables and some of their other vegetarian products. Of course he loves meat. But he also loves veggies. That's good!

It does not have the necessary biological functions to processes veggies. This is why I hate the new Fancy Feast foods. They promote the 'fact' that cats "need veggies".. but if you really listen to their ads, you'll see they are pandering to the public who doesn't know any better, who have been taught for years that veggies are good for humans, so there for they MUST be good for cats. They aren't. http://catinfo.org/#Cats_Need_Animal-Based_Protein_ <- run by a vet. > Dee adores Earth's Best Summer Vegetables and some of their other > vegetarian products. Of course he loves meat.

Veggies aren't even necessarily good for humans....After all, their food value comes from starches, since they contain no fats or protein. You can easily substitute a vitamin pill for the good they do you.....Most people get them in pizzas and hamburgers nowadays, anyway........ > > why do you think that it is good that your cat loves veggies?

I think you're both wrong. My cat gets "plenty" of protein. He's polishing off some chicken livers even as I type. I wouldn't be so crazy as to put him on a vegetarian diet----he'd die, but cats can successfully digest both starches and vegetable matter. And Dee dotes on vegetables. I'm glad he does, because they provide him with anti-oxidants, which are absent from meat. Humans can do great on a vegetarian diet. Our body, in fact, is far better designed for vegetarianism than heavy meat-eating. I'm not by any means a total vegetarian, but neither of you have your facts straight.

As to cats, I really don't know....I never said that eating veggies is bad for cats....Only that I don't think it's particularly good for them. I give my cats anything they want....They climb up on our dining room table while we are eating, and eat whatever they want right off of our plates. If they wanted the veggies, they would be welcome to them, but usually, they only taste what we are eating, "just to be polite" and then jump down and go for their kibbles.......

I'm sorry, but that is completely disgusting. Oh Fluffy you just licked your a.s with that tongue? Oh that's okay, have some of my dinner. Not. > "William Graham" <weg9@comcast.net> wrote . >>I give my cats anything they want....They climb up on our dining room [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Oh Fluffy you just licked your a.s with that tongue?

But, to each his/her own. In general, I prefer cats to humans anyway, and that includes the inside of their mouths...... >> "William Graham" <weg9@comcast.net> wrote . >>>I give my cats anything they want....They climb up on our dining room [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > his/her own. In general, I prefer cats to humans anyway, and that includes > the inside of their mouths...... I'd be more concerned with dirt from paws. I've never seen a cat wipe its feet before jumping on to the table. I say, if it makes you happy, go ahead. >>> "William Graham" <weg9@comcast.net> wrote . >>>>I give my cats anything they want....They climb up on our dining room [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > I say, if it makes you happy, go ahead. That's true....Their paws are something else. But our cats are very polite. The keep their paws out of the food. They are very hesitant to eat our food, even though we don't discourage them. And, when we have dinner guests, they keep off the table without us having to tell them to. Even the feral cat is unbelievably polite....Of course, when we have guests, he is nowhere to be seen....... >I give my cats anything they want....They climb up on our dining room >table while we are eating, and eat whatever they want right off of our >plates. I see nothing wrong with that. In fact if you check out one of my pages at http://users.ameritech.net/lestark/page2.htm you will see them on the microwave, in the cupboard, going accross the sink, in the linen closet. An yes they always check out what is on my plate although they don't like it mostly but they still have to check it out. I am a bit like the most of you...My thought is, what you do in your own home (with your cats...within legal limits) is your own business. My 7 are like my kids...when company comes, they are to be on their best behavior.

The only real problem we have is with their tails....My cats don't seem to know where their tales have been, or where they are now, or where they will be in the future....So, they are likely to drag their tails through your soup if you don't watch out for them....:^) On Sun, 25 Feb 2007 17:52:49 -0500 "~*Connie*~" <no@spam.com> Kissed my a.s and whined: >why do you think that it is good that your cat loves veggies?

My hand in your pocket? I doubt it - it's too full of your own self-importance for anyone else to get so much as a look-in. Faggot? Well, it's good to see that you have kicked the closet door open at last and recognise your own kind. Had you taken that step earlier in your purposeless existence, you wouldn't have had all those years of angst and anguish living in terror that your secret would be exposed.
