Oh, ick, I hate all this stuff~~all the uncertainty about what to
feed our fuzzers, and now it's is ANYTHING safe? I just got back an
hour ago from taking my unhappy boy Billi Bi into the emergency vet
to be catheterized~~again~~so he's going to have that operation! So
much for my hair appointment on Friday!
Fortunately I ran into my holistic vet at the emergency vet (she owns
it) and she'll be giving me info on feeding the little guy (Billi Bi)
so I won't have to feed him the Rx junk with the icky bi-products in
it. Thank God!
Poor Bailey, Poor Koda.

I started feeding raw about 2 months ago, and now i'm having some
second thoughts. I'm just not sure about it yet. It sounds so
much healthier, and i'm hoping my two older, fatter cats will lose
some weight on the raw. Most of my cats love the food more than
they ever liked canned/dry, but then I read about Salmonella and
intestinal parasites that could be in raw.
Plus Koda died a month ago of organ failure due to unknown causes.
She was old and diabetic, but I have that lingering uncertainty
that possibly the raw food may have harmed her.
I'm still trying to read more info on the raw, but it is the same
as everything else, you have people strongly for or against it,
both with good arguments. I just want to do what is healthiest for
my babies.

I've never seen a green cherry tomato, but that aside and this is
my opinion only why tempt fate when dealing with an already
compromised immune system. Yes it may be safe for most cats, even
positive cats, but I would die if my cat was the one cat it wasn't
safe for. It just isn't worth it to me when it can be left out.
To be honest with you I will always wonder if Bailey didn't get
sick because of the raw food I was feeding him, yes he did very
well for about 6 months, got chubby, seemed to feel good but then
he got very sick and and less than 6 months later was gone. He had
NEVER been sick in all his 11 years before that, so was it just a
coincidence ... possibly, but I will NEVER know for sure and I will
never feed raw again, just in case.
I believe, from all the other info out there, that it is the GREEN
tomatoes, stems and leaves that are the poisonous parts.
The red/ripe tomatoes thet we normally consume and that are used
in tomato
juice contain only trace amounts of Solanine and are not poisonous.
