Indoor vs outdoor cats I grew up in the country, and we didn’t give a second thought to letting our kitties outside.  They loved finding sunny places to nap, chasing bugs, birds and squirrels, and spending time in nature.  We had a few neighborhood dogs that would come around and try to stir up trouble, […]

One of the premises of optimal health for cats revolves around feeding them a biologically appropriate diet. If you think about it, it’s really no different for people!
