I am ...As the daughter of a holistic practitioner.. I am always interested in "homemade" versions of things seen on shelves.. especially animal foods and baby food items/formulas (for those of us who were unable to nurse our own children..). I regularly give my cat (and the other animals we've had) nutritional suppliments - though our cat won't eat wet food at all. The only food that isn't kitty kibble that the silly cat will eat is lunch meat from the deli... lol!Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345829142268909884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15282702.post-5215357777647026702007-04-05T14:00:00.000-04:002007-04-05T14:00:00.000-04:00My cats will only eat the dry stuff - one of my ca...My cats will only eat the dry stuff - one of my cats won't eat tuna, one won't touch treats of any kind...

What does the authour say about them? Current, current thinking is that they are not necessary but used as filler in commercial food.<BR/>Please discuss! Enquiring minds want to know.
