*excellent* cat food - ZEFRANK.COM

As some of you know - one of my cats has been experiencing really poor health, for which we tried different medications, blood tests, stool tests for worms, different kinds of food - all with no result, no indication of diabetes, thyroid problems, cancer - nuthin'. We were starting to get really worried - the little guy was thin as a rail (though hungry all the time and eating like a horse) and starting to lose his fur, lying around all the time, chronic diarrhea. It was really horrible - not sure who it was worse for, him or us.

Well - the bf did some research - and came across a description online of a cat who had the same symptoms and had also had all the tests with no result. What finally worked for this cat was a raw diet - turned him right around - all symptoms overcome. We figured - what the heck - we'll give it a try.

We've been feeding Merlin this food for about a week now - and for the first time in - well, forever - he's had normal stools and is acting like the little silly guy he used to be - seems really happy, loves the food. His fur is growing back, he's putting on weight - it's *amazing*.

If anyone is interested - here's a link to the company who sells the food.

Hi, LaLa!

I am so happy to hear you've found something that works for your little Merlin. What a relief! There is nothing worse than worrying that something seriously wrong may be happening to a pet.

I have a cat and she has chronic colitis...some kind of parasite that she picked up as a stray is the cause. They said that cats get it from drinking dirty puddle water and that people in 3rd world countries get it, too! But the result is a "low residue" cat food...it doesn't cure her, but is supposed to make her poop less so she experiences the symptoms less. I wonder if this food would help address the actual symptoms?

I'm gonna read up on it and ask my vet!

Awww... poor little girl. That must make her so uncomfortable...

It certainly won't hurt! It's more work - you have to buy raw meat & cut it up (or you can buy ground, though I just feel like it's better for Merlin to have to chew the food thoroughly, since he usually just snarfs it down) and mix in the powder - but it's SO wonderful to see him savoring the food, his fur coming back dark and soft, and his little skinny back filling out - it's totally worth the extra effort!

Oooh! OOoh! I have a question...

What if, just supposing, the only food that made your cat better was raw dolphin, and you could buy it from a black market tuna fisherman, would you buy the illegal dolphin to feed the cat and make him better?

This gives me an idea for a thread......
