I stumbled upon this cat nutrition site and then as I was reading the PDF version of her main argument, I came across a link to this other cat nutrition blog.
After reading, I am grossed out AND stressed out, because apparently I am supposed to be feeding my cats a diet that, as I figured it, would cost me around $4 a day. Yikes. Most days I don't spend that much on my OWN food. Which is actually another problem for a different blog...
In other news, I recently watched the 1975 documentary Grey Gardens, and Little Edie at the end talks about being lonely, concluding that although she loves animals, "cats and raccoons get boring after a while." (She feeds the raccoons that live in her attic - a loaf of Wonderbread and a box of Cat Chow - probably not an approved meal for my cats.)
I agree with the statement, but it must be remembered that cats and raccoons also don't forget about dates you've scheduled or insist on buying the ugly furniture because it's cheaper.
