Review on Purina Friskies Pate Chicken Dinner by Akane Rajakumar

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Affordable carnivore diet for our furry little predators

I have been rescuing cats - wild and abused - for several years. Now I have four left which is great for me but not acceptable. This is backstory. Like many wild animals, struvite crystals are often found here. These are genetic forms of crystals that are not only associated with stress, although they can be aggravated by stressors. I learned more about struvite crystals, which is a very common and often overlooked problem for cats. So, my little wild cat mother and her two kittens - three of the remaining four - have struvite. I finally found the easiest way to control struvite and now they don't get it. All it takes is a consistent diet of canned gluten-free foods. That means no "gravy" or other gluten. My favorite is a mix of liver and chicken pie mixed with chicken pie, with the addition of salmon pie once a week. Putting her on a pure pie diet completely eliminated any possibility of struvite crystals. Godfather alone also puts kittens on a carnivore diet. , these are cats. Unlike dogs, who are omnivores like us, their bodies prefer a protein diet. Those on a carnivorous diet claim that the cat's body is not designed to digest carbohydrates, especially difficult carbohydrates like gluten - you know those delicious sauces for chunks, flakes and slices of meat that are sold to our cats. . They also say that the normal amount of carbohydrate a cat eats in the wild is the grass that's in the stomach of a mouse that eats it. Now mine are a little different than these and if I plant them some good quality weed they will eat it. They will eat chunks too, but they are meant to survive even though they won't eat chunks, no matter how much they love them. , the coat is shiny and my fat cat has lost almost two pounds by feeding her unlimited wet food twice a day. That's great. My little feral cat mom, only 7 pounds, is 12 years old, but she passes as a 6 year old. It's the same with boys. They are more active and play more, although the youngest, two boys, is 11 years old. I'm all for the pie diet if you want a healthier cat. And since I can't afford $25-$30 for 12 cans of "top brand" wet cat food, I trust Purina to feed all kinds of livestock and pets longer than any of us.
