Thank you for your never ending support Pookie. Transitioning her off kibble wasn't really that difficult, she has always preferred canned food (with the exception of the c/d canned, of course). Finding a food that didn't make her sick, either with vomiting or aggravating the struvite issue, was the real challenge.
I am too afraid, because of her struvite issues, to make her food. I would have no way of knowing if she was getting too much phosphurous or magnesium, for example. I don't trust recipes for home made food any more than I trust the PFI. There's no pleasing me, is there?
However you give very good advice and I am not dismissing it. I WILL start reading more about homemade cat food (cooked/supplemented). Maybe, the more I read, the more confident I will feel about trying it. For ALL of them.I love my vet but lets face it, she is not a nutrition expert. She is an excellent diagnostician, and knows a ton about senior care, and specific diseases. She does beautiful dental work, and I feel my cats are as safe as they can possibly be under general anesthesia, with her. But when it comes to feline nutrition, what she knows, she's learned from me. <sigh>
I am trying not to borrow trouble, until I hear back from my By Nature CSR contact. Maybe the food I am feeding IS the new formula, and the web site hasn't been updated. I don't remember if I every actually read the ingredients list on the website for the Organic, when I first researched By Nature I wasn't planning on feeding the organic at all, so when I first picked some up it was at the feed store, where I went by the ingredients listed on the label. THEN I bought a bunch of cases of it.
But with all the encouragement I am getting here, I will work harder at being more open to home cooking for them.
PS catinfo.org and catnutrition.org have only raw food recipes. This is just not something I am prepared to do. I may never get there, or maybe I will, but raw is not happening now. I do have an older copy of The Natural Cat by Anita Frazier. But it is outdated (1990), so I don't trust her recipes either.
