The Boy often cooks the cats a separate piece of chicken as a treat when he's cooking for us. He's good about spoiling them like that!min hushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460666548836420815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-5404798647246640832011-10-26T20:09:59.922-07:002011-10-26T20:09:59.922-07:00Is fresh meat ok for your cat with diabetes?

My cat adores minced kangaroo (probably not an option for you in the US) and rabbit - although he's not diabetic - and if you gave them some fresh meat maybe you could cut down on the number of cans.From the lion's mouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269847882599124126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-24592340289049224592011-10-06T16:38:54.810-07:002011-10-06T16:38:54.810-07:00Yup, we go through a lot of cans.

So three cats eating only canned food = a heck of a lot of cans.<br /><br />ECL - I still have a mental block about going TP free, no matter the number.<br /><br />Jennifer - Um, now I feel even stupider. I toss all my can lids without a single thought. Doh!<br /><br />I suck at recycling.min hushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460666548836420815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-34710168134053691672011-10-06T10:56:07.037-07:002011-10-06T10:56:07.037-07:00Wow, that's a lot of cans!

I used to have a block about recycling the lids to her cat food cans, for some reason. After I thought about it, it made no sense whatsoever. I'm so happy to hear about your new recycling habits!Jenniferhttp://noteasytobegreen.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-25971456741298467542011-10-05T19:29:01.105-07:002011-10-05T19:29:01.105-07:00You've totally made my day!

Not because of the recycling thing, but because there's actually somebody out there who goes through more cans of cat food per day than we do!<br /><br />I used to fight with recycling them too, but now I just run them under the water and give them a quick swish with the dish brush, then into the recycling they go!<br /><br />And don't get grossed out by this, but my duh moment came after reading "No Impact Man" and they referred to the fact that they didn't use toilet paper, but refused to offer details as to how this was accomplished. I decided to make an experiment of it... and found that for number 2, there's really no adequate substitute for TP, but for number one, a quick rinse with some water and dry with a towel is easy and clean, plus it saves a TON of money on TP. And hey, every man I've ever been intimate with simply uses the "3 shakes" method, so it couldn't possibly be less hygienic than that!EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-78732625378989690422011-10-05T17:07:33.149-07:002011-10-05T17:07:33.149-07:00I threw away 4 empty cans today.
