Question
Hi Karen,
How are you?
may I ask for your help?
I have an 18 month old Persian indoor cat (girl) she is fussy about her food, I've tried most of the brands available (Nutro, Royal canin, IAMS, ...etc.) she only eats (Friskies dry food from Purina).
as for the everyday increasing list of recalled food I'm so scared! I've tried many home reciepes but she never accepts any.
well, she is eating acceptable daily amount of Friskies but my concerns are:
What if this was not the best choice for her?
What if there was any risk?
What if she gets bored with it?
does this have enough and complete nutrition ?
Can you tell me if this food is safe for my cat??
then I saw this web site about " Natural Pet's food" I don't know how good it is ??
www.hillspet.com
Or follow this link

What do you think ???
I really can't thank you enough.

Hi Fayza,
This is real funny. I too, have a purebred Persian who will eat only dry food. I feed him Purina One. He loves it.
Dry foods are not affected by the recall. I use this food because, for the money, it is one of the better mass market cat foods.
I don't like Hills Pet products. She most likely will make the switch over to Purina One from Friskees with no problem. And as for being bored, mine has been on it for 8 years and won't eat anything else. Hope this helped. Good luck.
Ciao, Karen

Some thoughts to carry with you.
A Cat's 10 Commandments
My life is likely to last 15-20 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
Give me time to understand what you want of me.
Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainments. But I have only you.
Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
Before you swat me, before you strike me, remember that I have teeth that could draw blood. And claws to strike back. And yet I choose not to attack you.
If I don't act right then have me checked to see what is wrong.
Please take care of me when I grow old. You too will grow old.
On the difficult journey, on the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Because I love you so.
Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would be a much duller, less joyful thing without God's critters. Pass this on.
