  ......as far as "messy" that may have been one of the reasons modern man changed the feline's diet ......it's more convenient to open a can or pore from a bag...but it's kinda like if we ate MickeyD's every day...as kids we could probably do it but once you are older the effects show up.....I use indoor/outdoor carpet in the kitchen and both kitties and doggies clean up nicely so I have found ways to eliminate the messy....if you believe in something you find a way........as far as the "phobia" you should not feed your babies something you do not totally believe in....do your research on whatever you feed them.....maybe go to a friend's who has a cat over 5 and feel through their coat to make sure they have no sores....if you like what you see research and go for it.......if the cat is fat and lazy don't do what they do......  |
