Have you ever looked the ingredients of your cat's food...?

The last cat I had developed an itching along her back, she would bite at her back all the time...took her to the vet and she gave her a cortisol shot. Seemed to work for a month and then the itching came back with a vengeance and her skin got dry and flaked something terrible. Took her back again and another shot....the vet suggested a special food and I bought that for her...the shot caused her to swell up like a basketball for a couple months, then she got a tumor on her breast area, and became a diabetic. I had to give her insulin shots and take her to the vet once a week to see what her blood sugar levels were to adjust the insulin levels. She died about 5 months later, her blood sugar never got stable. After this was over I read a column in my local newspaper written by a veterinarian, he was into holistic healing. He said that the ingredients in cat foods could cause itching and other problems. He suggested a diet of protein foods like steamed chicken, yogurt or cottage cheese, egg etc. No cereal fillers or offal... If I ever get another cat I’ll do just that. One of the oldest cats that ever lived in the USA was given a diet of chicken, cottage cheese, steamed broccoli and a cup of black coffee each day and he lived to over 30 years old, his owners called him “Grandpa”.
