I recently decided to take my cat Style off his hard cat food diet. I had been reading about how bad grocery store cat food is for cats, as it contains high amounts of grain in it. Cats are obligate carnivores and derive 100% of their nutritional needs from meat of prey, even a large amount of their water needs. The bones and organ meat of the animals they eat are important as well, not just the muscle meat. One cat elegantly named Creme Puff lived to be 38 on an all-meat diet.
Anyway, I decided to do some research. I quickly surmised that canned food was much better for him, but which one? I eventually found myself at www.catforum.com in a quest for the answer….
God help us
Now, I knew there are crazy cat people. I really like my cat as is evident by my wanting the best food for him. But I don’t like him enough to create this:
This signature collage is particularly good because with a name like "andiecat_signature_final" you know it went through multiple revisions. I hope to god Andie is a girl.
That is an example of a signature that is appended to all posts. Over at that Cat Scientology forum most of the users create a signature collage of all the cats they currently own, or have owned. Take a look at this signature:
RIP every cat ever.
That woman must go through cats like most of us go through toothbrushes.
By reading through the site in wide-eyed horror, I found that you can put a virtual cat funeral / grave site on rainbowbridge.com : http://rainbowsbridge.com/residents/PUMPK021/Resident.htm
RIP Jiskefet. Notice the rainbow in the background symbolizing the rainbow bridge path to the cat afterlife, and Jiskefet gazing it at indifferently, much as he probably did in life to everything
Here is a real post by a man who had just lost his kitty to the eternal nap:
I know that cats have an afterlife….a spirit/soul…..but she died at the vet…not at my home. Because she never went outside I am not sure that she will find her way to me. I only live a couple blocks away from the vets but will she know the way?
Indeed..how will she know the way? I recommended smearing your door with mouse blood (from virginal, pure mice of course) and lighted candles glued atop the tiny skulls of various rodents and birds via melted wax for the desired effect.
Now let me add, I know the pain of losing your pet, and that it is not nice to make fun of how others grieve. But jesus christ on a bike, if you put it up online for the world to see, you are fair game.
Here is a great post from a popular topic regarding kitteh watching you shower:
“Both of the cats that I have been bonded to have watched me while I showered. Little Missy would even try to get in with me sometimes. Grim just sits outside the tub and waits until I’m done almost every time I shower. Sometimes he meows at me, but I have no clue what he wants.
Anybody else experienced this behavior?”
And if you have any questions whatsoever regarding cat poop, boy does catforum.com have a plethora of feline fecal wisdom for you. A search turned up HUNDREDS OF POSTS with that very topic. Here are a few good subjects:
- red poop!?
- White Poop?!
- Very Dry Poop
- mystery cat poop
- praying for a poop
- What should optimal cat poop look like?
- My sister in laws poop problem
- Cosmo can’t poop!!
- This could be the next best-selling heartwarming children’s book about a constipated cat
Oh and what cat food should Stlye eat? I chose Evo 95% meat for now. But I should post a topic on catforum.com to confirm it is a wise choice. As soon as I finish reading “What color is you cat’s nose?” which is riveting and full of keen insight:
Prince’s is pink, but I’ve recently noticed that some of my strays have orange colored noses…and I think one has a black nose
Assuming they’d allow it, this would definitely be my signature:
This would be my signature on catforum.com
