RE: [feline-hyperT] OT:Natural Balance-Melamine
Hi Patti and the gang! I hope everything is going better for you guys! I can't offer much advice since I've been feeding the same thing to these guys with no problems (Science Diet C/D Multicare Dry). But, it's scary considering that canned food has been recalled by Hill's. I can't feed my cats canned food since Bandit ultimately vomits it up. Anything too rich or too new or too exciting makes him chuck. He's also the one with the urinary tract problems, so I just give them all C/D since it's impossible to feed them separately. Since I'm new to the pet health thing, I'm probably doing something wrong. You all seem to know much more about what to feed your pets than I do. The vet said it was okay to feed them all C/D, so I am. But, I think I'll try cooking for them occasionally. One of my babies will not eat people food, but the others would be delighted. Patti-hang in there! I know it's frightening not being able to control a situation-I'm a control freak, so I understand! My only advice (since I'm not an expert on feline health!) is meditational breathing! :-) It won't give you the answers, but it might give you peace amongst the chaos. In fact, I'd better get back on the yoga track myself! I've been having daily freak outs as well! You're not alone! But, seriously, yoga/meditation really is a great way to calm down and deal with the things we can't deal with. If that makes any sense.

Re: [feline-hyperT] OT:Natural Balance-Melamine
Patti, please don't feel like you are alone. I get upset too. I get so mad that what we are feeding our babies might poison them. I have several cats and 2 dogs. Many are on different diets so it seems like I am constantly rechecking labels when something new comes out. I just switched the dogs to California Natural I hope it is O.K. I am like you I do research and try to find a good safe food but now days who knows! I am having a problem with getting the cats to eat anything new. I am going to just continue feeding them what I have because so far nobody seems like they are sick. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I worry about all the food that I am feeding. I know how upsetting it is but please know that everybody knows how you feel. Hang in there. Cindy Reasoner --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No replys???

Re: [feline-hyperT] OT:Natural Balance-Melamine
Dearest Patti, Please take a nice long breath sweetheart. I actually did respond to you, I just didn't end up sending it because after I thought about it, it wasn't very constructive to restate the obvious or interject my fears and suppositions. We're all scared and feeling helpless right now. Like so many on the list, I have more than a few mouths to feed and cooking homemade meals for everyone is prohibitive. What I'm doing is feeding what I've been feeding, (since no one has been acting sick), but less of it and supplementing with home cooked foods. I'm continuing to look for food sources with as few additives and grains as I can find, keeping as informed as I can, and praying that we'll weather the storm. I wish I had the answers that would keep us all safe. Unfortunately, you of all people know that is not always possible. Please come climb down from the edge. I know it's easier said than done, but stressing out over things that are not in our control will only add to our burdens. Hugs to you, Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No replys???
