P...Hi CK! The points you make here are good ones.<br /><br />Pet nutrition is definitely not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. Growing up, I had a kitty named Kitty who ate Purina Cat Chow until she was 18. She developed kidney disease, but I don't think that was from the food - kidney disease is so common in older cats. <br /><br />Both Carmine and Milita ate a high-quality food, but Carmine still got sick with FLUTD. I think some cats are predisposed to certain conditions, and sometimes, despite our best efforts, they develop them no matter what we feed. <br /><br />All that being said, I do think it's important to feed a high-quality diet to your kitty. :)Fur Everywherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064329146430899790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130826477942021081.post-87628426393328142172015-06-23T05:05:13.113-04:002015-06-23T05:05:13.113-04:00What makes AARP think they're experts on anima...What makes AARP think they're experts on animals anyway?
