I know a lot of people dislike pigeons. I don’t and I don’t see why we should dislike them. Perhaps it is because they are good survivors. Quite pushy. They can become annoying and lack ‘etiquette’ for want of a better word. They don’t like queuing for food, put it that way. But then …
I decided to use two different AI computer systems to see if they cross-checked in responding to this question: What are the three best selling wet cat foods in the US? The two AI systems were Bing’s Copilot and Google’s Gemini. They both agreed that Sheba Perfect Portions and Fancy Feast Classic were the …
This is a commonly asked question and I’ve not yet seen a really good answer. When you ask how long a domestic cat can survive without food you are presuming that the cat has access to water and therefore you are asking for how long a cat can survive on water only. Technically, the …

I am happy with this infographic which I hope explains in a clear way how to compare the protein content of wet and dry cat foods. It can be puzzling. The protein content is important as protein is the most important nutrient in cat food. From time to time a cat caregiver might want …
Do you aspire to that cat caregiving utopian ideal of no wet food waste left in the bowl after a feeding or even after five feedings? Well, I’ve achieved it. I’m boasting but I’ve done it through precision feeding. The Infographic explains the MO but I will add a few words. There are perhaps …
Taurine has been discussed a lot on the internet in the context of the domestic cat’s diet as it is an essential nutrient. For cats a diet lacking in sufficient quantities of taurine can lead to taurine deficiency the symptoms of which can include feline taurine retinopathy, or more commonly, feline central retinal degeneration …
I don’t believe that we can entirely trust the cat and dog food we buy in the UK to be safe for our companion animals. I have just watched a BBC programme about ultra-processed human foods which might harm us. In the UK the FSA (Food Standards Agency) regulates the food industry including pet …
