So there I was, standing in the pet food aisle at the supermarket, staring down the bags of dry cat food. Since dry food is not the main part of his diet, I just wanted to find something to hold my kitten over until I made it to Whole Pets (like a natural food store, but for pets!). It didn't matter if it was "natural", "wholesome", "real food", "heathy bites", "complete nutrition" etc. etc., all of them had the same first 3 ingredients: not meat, not meat and not meat. Well, ok, I guess they all had chicken meal in them (i'm not quite sure of what that is). Also included were: by-products, bone meal, fat-type things that sounded scary, wheat, corn, soy...I want to be careful because I'm trying to figure out if Luna is allergic to anything (wheat and soy in particular) so I am VERY hesitant buying that stuff.
Anyways, this got me to thinking. Why do I care so much about what my cats eat when I'm notorious for pigging out on fast food (tonight I had Wendy's)? Is it because they don't really have a choice on what they eat and they do not know the consequences for eating junk food? I definitely try to eat healthy in general, work out etc. especially if I regress and eat junk food occasionally. Does anyone else hold their pet's food standard above their own?
