- Right - another reason I cook for my cats. You don't have to worry about the
- food coloring or preservatives found in "kitty quick food" (ie, dry cat food).
- I have suspected food allergies in my kitties for a while, and we are doing
- much better with home prepared food. BTW, other day I was cooking a panfull
- when my son came in; he said, "Mom, hmmm, what are you cooking? It smells
- great!" I told him it was kitty food, but he was welcome to a bowlful - it is
- as clean and edible as human food, and besides they wouldn't mind sharing with
- him.
