Having re-read this thread through, I'd have to agree with Tink about the Taurine, I wouldnt have thought that there would be much if at all in cooked white fish. Maybe a taurine supplement would be a better idea. http://www.provet.co.uk/Nutrition/protaur.htm |

Had a quick chat with one vet today, and he thinks fish should have enough taurine in it, I then did a quick look in google and have discovered cats need, specifically, taurine, arachidonic acid, vit B12 and vit A, all of which are in fish, but I don't know if they contain enough. Interestingly, it also said that it wasn't good to give cod liver oil and liver as, if fed to excess, the vit A can cause fusion of the neck bones. So, I guess I need to get more time to quiz the vets and do a bit more research. I did read somewhere that turkey and salmon are thought to be the closest meat to a cat's natural diet- what do you think. I'm looking for ideas, I told the vet that I want Misty to reach 30, and it is his responsibility- no pressure on him then.  |
