[quote="Catine";p="738488"]I've never been called out for punctuation or grammar before. I'm amused. :mrgreen:

The only reason I wear pyjamas is for those nights I don't shut the door properly, and the cat walks in while I'm asleep. "Oh, dangly toys!" she thinks.

I'll leave it to your imagination how that one ended.

This is why you get dogs instead of cats.

[quote="adciv";p="738474"]Punctuation, specifically commas, IS your friend.[/quote]
Fixed.
Punctuation is the difference between "I helped my Uncle, Jack, off a horse" and "i helped my uncle jack off a horse"

[quote="KitsuneMusume";p="726385"]Correct me if I'm wrong, but at least in cats, doesn't wet food contribute to obesity? At least that's what I heard. I can't even remember the source, though.[/quote]

We feed our cats about wet food for over 50% of their diet, and the vet has commented that they are some of the healthiest cats she's ever seen. They are the ideal weight. The cats I know on dry food are all super fat, but the owners also just leave them a full bowl of kibble 24/7. Sounds like a kibble company line to me.

Honestly, reading the ingredients on dry food for cats makes me think it is just junk food for them. They are not omnivores, like dogs. The analogy of lobster vs. normal food is better replaced by normal food vs. instant ramen. I know that there are many cats that are allergic to dry food ingredients and can only eat wet food -- these are the cats that throw up often and everywhere. Both my friend and I switched one of our cats each to wet-food-only on the vet's recommendation, and they both stopped throwing up. I doubt rice and wheat taste good to them at all, anyway.

Even when they were kittens they were VERY picky about dry foods. We tried a lot of different stuff, and they definitely can tell what the price is... or rather, how much junk filler is in there. :) However, it’s about $0.90 a day to feed two cats and that doesn’t seem bad.
