Seems there is a little bit of prejudice

Day before yesterday I drove to Hillsboro (23 miles) for some particular things. I also wanted to go in the brand new shiny farm store. I like farm stores--Orscheln, Tractor Supply, and others. Lots of good stuff. I had seen in their ad that I could get a good quality high protein cat food for half of what I pay per pound for Purina Cat Chow Complete at Wal Mart, or should I say I could get twice the cat food for the same price. I looked at everything, and came to the pet food. Here is where the prejudice comes in. There were huge sections of things for dogs. Leashes, collars, dishes, grooming supplies, food and treats. Less than half the amount of goodies for cats. There were even goat snacks, and Hog chow, and chicken scratch and wild birds seed in bulk. Home made, baked organic dog treats.Coat conditioner for sheep. On farms dogs are more highly valued than cats, although farmers do like to have barn cats. Often barn cats are considered a disposable commodity. . . mostly feed themselves by catching rodents. No petting and pampering. No special grooming. Coyote kill them, that's okay, we can get more. Tiny rant. I did get my forty pounds of cat food. I think I will keep it in the deep freeze to keep fresh. After all, I am feeding four mouths. And I have a punch card. Once I buy ten bags I get one for free.Take that, Purina, Hills, and Iams. Wish they had had a decent size package of kitty treats. Cats can be sensitive to dietary changes, so I got it in time to mix with the old food. Angel and Bitty have shown their approval..Lady and Tinker are outdoors right now. Likely protecting my property from rodents. They will eat their share.
