christie had some really interesting stuff to say about cats and changing
diets last night, and i've got to try to grab her and get more info--about
how cats, as a species, imprint on "food" and "not-food" when they're very
young, so it's much harder to switch them from one to another as adults.....
the other book that christie recommends--and she flat-out REFUSED to give
any recipes last night, instead telling people where to go to find their own
information, as every cat's needs are different--is strombeck's....
when the transcipt is available, i'll post it!

I've never used AOL to speak of. I look forward to using the
pethobbyist.com site for information and really appreciate the work put
into anything that provides good and accurate information. Dixie is the
first FeLV+ cat I have ever had and is one of the healthiest, happiest girls
on this planet. She is extremely hard working and takes all of her jobs
very seriously. Get the idea that I am totally in love with this former
throw away????????? I want to keep her just as she is.
Again, thanks for the information. I look forward to the home-made food
recipes. I have the Pitcairn book and have started cooking for her (she is
still thinking about that) but can use any input I can get.

if you remember back when aol was starting out, their PetCareForum was set
up and staffed by the Veterinary Information Network (VIN).... then when
aol went to a flat-rate service, rather than pay-per-hour plan, they dumped
a number of their more popular forums, so VIN took back their staff and
chats and message boards onto their own servers. they really weren't set up
to be a "consumer" site, tho, so after a year or so they decided to go back
to concentrating on their professional side.
so we put up a, "free to a good home," ad: trained, knowledgable staff of
chat hosts and message-board monitors..... and the pethobbyist.com family
of sites took us in!
some of the hosts have been together for close to 15 years now; i'm a
newbie at only 7. christie keith, who did the cat-food chat last night, is
one of the folks who has been there all along, through AOL and VIN and now
pethobbyist.com. many of our chatters have also been regulars for 10 or
more years, so it truly is a family--very safe place, with LOTS of good
people and great information.
the main difference is the element of real-time--we have chats monday
through saturday that are either open for just fun, or on a topic, as well
as pet-loss-support chats EVERY NIGHT of the year, including holidays.
unlike a list, during scheduled chat times, you KNOW you'll find SOMEONE to
talk with! as hosts, we are trained to deal with problem people (usually
teenagers), and we have tools to mute people who are disruptive, as well as
those to kick them out and even ban them from the site if necessary.
