A few words from Alan Francis - Page 3

I have it from my vet, because I used to base my diet mostly on catfood when I started with garters... She followed courses on this and saw this explicitely in one of her courses. I've never backed it up by digging in the literature, but I trust her.

I'm sure she is right, I also trust her!

It's a shame, as cat-food would make a very cheap staple diet. It seems that no artificial diet is without it's problems.

Well, just as an experiment I tried my Garters on cat food today. I couldn't get lamb or beef, someone said they didn't go for the fish, so I tried rabbit. None of them took it, a few investigated it, but then recoiled. In a few days time I'll try lamb or beef, if I can find it.

So, anybody want to buy some cat food?

Maybe you'll just have to adopt a cat.........

adamanteus · 12-05-2007, 12:34 PM

Actually, we're looking for one.

I can send you the nice boy who moved into my house the other day. He's all fixed now. :-) :-)

Just stick him in an envelope then, Lori!

Lori P · 12-05-2007, 01:22 PM

(Cramming him into envelope, jumping up and down on it to get it sealed, taping it madly, stamping it with "FRAGILE" all over, poking air holes with a sharp knife, shaking it to make sure it's sealed)

On the way James!!!!!!!

Great. I'm sawing a cat-flap in the door as we speak!

I heard they have cats in England
I know for a fact they have 'em in Wales and Ireland
I mean I've seen them there

I wonder whether kittens in the UK are "over the hill" at five month old or whether that's something to do with the American media culture
