I have had to do it, when Sunny's momma gave birth to another litter (of 8) before I was able to get her spayed. One which was the only other Ginger baby she had, the Vet wanted, even bringing him (his name is Weezer) to the Vet I had tears in my eyes when I handed him over. It's hard to do. The 7 others, I managed to get 2 different no kill shelters to take them , and I worried for them, for weeks, and still time to time think of them and hope they had Good homes & lives.

I have a new kitty who doesn't eat much and even the small bag of dry good seems too much. And yes, dry kibble only is not good, its like carbs to cats. They need the moisture from canned food and the meat.

We started vacuum packing very small amounts with a seal-a-meal! The kitties could really tell the difference! Like you said – like a new bag!<br />One thing about feeding dry food over wet. Vets.sometimes say that without dry food a cat's teeth will have more problems. That is not doubt true but dry food can cause kidney problems later in life. I figure that we can get our cat's teeth clean every year and they can survive any dentil problems. That is not true of kidney problems! So, we try to feed mostly the wet and feel best about that. <br />Thanks for the post,<br />Lily, WA, USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-32014809015776787882013-06-28T19:17:11.188-04:002013-06-28T19:17:11.188-04:00Very true: buy in bulk when you can.

It not only provides nutrients (if the food is of the right variety) and doesn't add as much weight to the cats, but provides much moisture; cats never drink enough water.<br /><br />And I've lost the battle against giving up foster-cats twice.
