actually, some specialists that I've talked to in the past have told me that dogs and cats don't really need grains, primarily they just need meat and vegetables, preferrably raw wherever possible. think of what cats in the wild eat.....they might need about as much grain as they would find in the stomach of a mouse.....that's a very tiny amount.

and, yes, I've read that tuna isn't so good for cats. besides being hard on their livers, it is also kind of addictive - once they start eating it they often won't eat anything else.

didn't seem all that complicated when I was doing it - except when we were going to go on vacation and needed someone looking after them.

Unfortunately, the cost is too much with our limited budget these days. I'm asking the universe to help out all the kitties and doggies and keep them healthy even though the food supply is so tenuous.....

Hugs and butterflies,
