Thanks for alerting me to the usefulness of your comments right off the bat. yes dear, I explained this in my first post on the issue.  Actually, the animal protiens in kibble are already pretty processed. Thats why the litter box of a cat fed a high quality kibble smells much less than that of one fed a more raw diet... Though long, the digestive tract of a cat is still ineffecient. (hence why dogs like cat food even after the trip. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> )Because we are the people and they are the pet... specieist, I know, but thats life. Thats why we change the evolutionary design of our pets reproduction and social structure. Why we force socialize dogs to live happily with cats and cats to be nice to the guine pig. Why we take something as biologically basic as the emilination of waste and fit it into our socially accepted structure. And why some people may want to extend their boycott of the meat industry to the leftovers found in pet food. All of the above can be done badly and hurt the animal. The last is hardest to do right, which is why I recomend against it constantly to curious customers*. But I have seen it done well and mention that out of honesty. As absurd as surgically altering your cat to impose your political and social views on overeproduction on it? As absurd as making a "bathroom" for it and getting upset if it breaks your social mores? You are not making an argument consistant with the rest of pet ownership.*oh yeah, I've worked in veterinary and animal care environments for the better part of the last 7 years. Please don't try to educate me on animals - its good for the amusement value but not much else.Kahuna burger</blockquote>
