    We lost Bogey this morning.

    Bogey was blessed to have you taking care of him and loving him to the end of his life here. His spirit will always be with you and he will always be grateful that he found wonderful you. Thanks for all you did for him. I'm sorry you have to go through this pain of his loss. It is the price...

    Finally! The First 100% STARCH-FREE/Grain Free Kibble is Launched!

    As far as other quality dry foods, just follow the links on the site of the review linked above. Of course that site may be all wet. You have to decide who to trust, and that is not easy. I'm not saying this is a not a good kibble. But I have problems with the company for a number of...

    Finally! The First 100% STARCH-FREE/Grain Free Kibble is Launched!

    The food may very well be no starch. But that hardly matters because the food still has digestible carbs that are just as bad as starch. It's like human food labels that says that a product is "cholesterol free" when it is something made entirely of plant products, which never have...

    Finally! The First 100% STARCH-FREE/Grain Free Kibble is Launched!

    I just read the review again and that is what it says, 10% refined sugars. This is no better than starch. Digestible carbohydrates is the issue, and they are playing games with the words. And the "mistruth" about the percentage was said, by the company's representative, to two people who...

    Best way to cook dried beans!

    As a vegetarian, I cook beans often. I do soak them overnight, but cooking them does not take hours, and they don't turn to mush. Maybe adding salt too soon was the problem. You can't add salt until the beans are cooked soft. The salt prevents them from softening. Robin

    Finally! The First 100% STARCH-FREE/Grain Free Kibble is Launched!

    If you read that review linked, it says that this food, which has been out for some time, is actually 14% carbs, and 10% of that is refined carbs - not the undigestible plant fiber that is of no concern. According to this source, the manufacturer, Wysong, is misleading the public regarding the...

    My doctor said a strange thing to me!

    Never took it for a sore throat. Took it specifically after a bout of nausea and vomiting. It was the first thing my mother would let me try to consume after the vomiting seemed to be over. If I could keep a little 7-UPdown, then I could have some other thing, like dry toast, in a little while...

    My doctor said a strange thing to me!

    When I was a child and sick with an upset stomach, my mother, a RN, gave me 7-UP for a cure. It settled the stomach, but I hate the stuff ever after because of associating it with nausea. I always thought it was the carbonation that helped. When my mother was a child, her mother gave her...

    When do cats get their full coat what month? And how do medium hairs go? Like hair care? Will I have

    Don't know where you live, but where I am it is spring, and unusually warm, so cats are shedding more than usual. If you live in the U.S., I recommend two products to control shedding, both available at Petsmart. One is a little, kitten sized, slicker brush that is a Petsmart house brand...

    Innova Prime! New Grain Free dry food with no Fish Meal or Potato products.

    Thanks for the info, Seven Wonders. Only one formula of the Young Again has no carbs (no digestible carbs, but some cellulose). The other formula is very low carb. I didn't want to give the wrong information. Robin

    Innova Prime! New Grain Free dry food with no Fish Meal or Potato products.

    It's confusing because there are two formulas. One is for diabetic cats (but I have none of those) and it has zero digestible carbs ( some cellulose). But the other formula has less than 5% (or 7% if you want to use the DMB calculation) which is from potato starch and tomato pomace. I didn't...

    Compensating for Lack of Self-Care and Not Cooperating

    If she is matted, I'd find a good, experienced cat groomer (not some groomer at Petsmart or Petco who does cats and dogs, but find a real specialist) and let that pro do the dirty work. It will save your relationship with Precious. Maybe, a cool lion cut is in order now? Robin

    Innova Prime! New Grain Free dry food with no Fish Meal or Potato products.

    Well, I'm interested in how this goes for you and your cats. After about 1.5 years on Wellness Healthy Weight, I'm transitioning my cats to Young Again. It has no carbs. They love it, so far. I'll report back. Do your cats only eat kibble? Mine get canned food, also. Robin

    cat ate a lizard!

    She's just being a CAT! Bless her! Perfectly fine and natural, I'd say. She's finally "got a life!" Let her out on the lanai more often, I say. What a lovely kitty! You do love her, don't you? Robin

    My Grandpa just died..

    I'm sorry for the loss of your grandfather. It is difficult. So much family history with grandparents. Mine are all long gone for 30 years or more. But I still am processing their loss, and I miss them. There is much I wish I had asked them, or talked to them about. Robin

    Any kind but pâté style

    Oh, I didn't think it would be so far to a Petco in NW Iowa. I love Iowa, by the way. One of the secret treasures in this country (and I've traveled 46 of the 50, and lived in a few). And Iowa people are the BEST! I hope you can order a small amount, to sample. Robin
