10. At the risk of reigniting the cat food wars...

We feed ours raw ground turkey from MyPetCarnivore.com, with a little added taurine.

So far, our last 7 cats have lived to 17-18 on this diet. We currently have 4-, 10-, and 21-year-olds on the same diet. We are fortunate that our veterinarian's office is good with it. I'm tired of the others telling me I'm going to kill my cats feeding by feeding them a diet they thrive on. An added benefit is that their litter box doesn't stink.

They catch mice too, when one is stupid enough to find its way into the house, but they generally don't eat them. Maybe a taste here and there. Then again, if they ate the whole thing, how would we know?
