I know that introducing red meats, some cats do fine - others, like my Sheldon, can't keep them down.
It took a while to VEEEEERY slowly introduce him to red meat. We have not been able to progress past the point of his eating a meal that is 50% red meat / 50% white meat.
And I just found the most interesting article - apparently there is a correlation between tick bites and red meat allergy.
In 2007, Sheldon suddenly had very weak back legs. We took him to the vet, who could find nothing wrong, no reason for it. And it resolved inside of 3 days. After that, he always had a slight... head "blink." A little "bobble" from time-to-time, always when he is relaxed. Many of you know I work with an animal communicator. A while back, when we were having her do some work with a few of our cats, I had her ask Sheldon about this event. He said he felt a quick sharp "pinch" at the base of his spine.
I'm wondering if there was a tick, and he got bit. ????? Is that crazy?
