Kerry, I wasn't meaning to throw you off w/ my experience, LOL! I just think that after having raised BoyCat & GirlCat, and their success w/ a vegetarian diet, it was something to share w/ the group. Now that I am no longer fostering, and my numbers here are "more" manageble for special meals for all (5 cats, 4 dogs), I have been thinking of converting all diets. I already cook for Midnight, and am slowly introducing the other dogs to veg diet, I am pondering a change for the cats. In my crew, I do have 2 fosters, (although I have a feeling they are officially family, since I had to (rescue)( bring them back from "new" home, they "missed" me...) Apparently in the 2 weeks they were 'adopted", their diets were poor. They are both big, Maine Coone X's over 20 lbs., longhairs.....They came back w/ fleas (!!!) & missing splotches of hair.... So, I am entertaining the thought of diet change for all cats... I'll let you know what I decide.... But, it was interesting to read the "other" side's view..   Patti
