This article really p----s me off.  I would like to know where these people came up with their "facts".  Did they bother to really find out what part of fish goes into pet food?  Im guessing its the throw-away that no one else wanted.  And why dont they address over-fishing, climate change & poor fisheries management which are probably more to blame for dwindling fish supply than cats are.   Angry

P.S.  If you dont want to get really p-o'd, dont read the comments at that site.   Angry

I think you can tell from the title of the article (never mind the pet hating reader comments) that there is a bias in the reporting.  We all know that most cat food doesn't even contain but a crumb of fish and that's just throwaway stuff from the human fish industry.  What's next?  Kittycats to blame for global warming?   Roll Eyes

Edgar Winter is madly in love with Sophers Cheesy

Every time I bring her pic up on the screen, he chirps and brrps and tries to talk to her.

Does Sophie like older distinguished gentlemen? Wink

LOL Peg.  Sophers hasnt been around any boy kitties so I wouldnt know what she would think.  She is very partial to her dad, she is definately a daddy's girl, loves him to pieces probably more-so than her mom who picks on her all the time with toofie brushing, medicine, mat clipping, nail clipping, etc.  I suspect she might think Edgar is the cats meow!   Grin
