Did you know that when animal digest is listed on the label that means material resulting from clean and undecomposed animal tissue, and may consist of hair, horns, teeth, hooves, and feathers in trace amounts, also known as manure? Also when chicken by-product is listed it consists of the ground, rebdered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered chicken, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines. Please check the label before you buy cat food. If you want to read it for yourself, look up animal digest on google or another search engine. On google, click on the third article listed called "What's in My Pet's Food?"

I think that is pretty gross. I know a lot of people who are so concerned with this they have switched their cats to a natural raw food diet. Sometimes I think the contents of cat food can't be any worse that the kind of things that they would eat in the wild. A cat in the wild might kill and eat a mouse and that is pretty gross. But I know that there are some things in cat food that can cause digestion problems just like half of the processed foods we eat.

The same goes for meat by products. It is all the intestines and other part of animals that are not fit for human consumption.

Yes, I did now that! That's why I feed my animals top of the line pet foods. If you go to http://www.petfooddirect.com, you can select natural pet foods from their lists. It is a little bit more expensive, but with these higher quality foods, there are less fillers. That means that your pets will eat less. And always remember...whenever you are switching your pet's food, do it slowly by mixing the foods together before totally switching over.
