I have been reading them since they started and I get each book the day it comes out. I reread the 1st series over 3 times and the second one twice. the power of three i didnt reread. I like the special edition books on firestar and bluestar. and the clan and code guides. I dont read the manga. does anyone know when the 1st book for the newest series comes out. what is it called? the last apprentice? i think thats it. i cant wait till it comes out.<br /> although i feel like the books have gotten less exciting. there is alot of filler. the first series was full of action and the second series a bit less and the third a bit less. But because I love cats so much I love the books and cant put them down all the same! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17906#post-395985 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 12:22:03 +0000 snickers0801 395985@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I want all of the books soooooo bad!!

That was a great link, and I think I'll stick with Wellness and Innova. I just bought some Innova today, and of course 4 of my cats LOVE it, while Charlie sniffed it and walked away... Maybe because he wants more Tuna? lol I don't know.

I found a site that sells Innova at a decent price, but I'll be adding $20 for shipping, but even still I can get 12 days worth of Innova for only $10 more than I pay for 12 days worth of Wellness. (My last reciept shows the cost for 36 cans of wellness)</p> <p>I have one more question though, and I might just google it later, but I'd rather hear real people's thoughts... Is it okay to feed tuna/fish every day?<br /> Solid Gold is solid Tuna, and all of my cats love it, but I don't know if I should be giving it to the every day for one of their meals. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16684/page/2#post-384079 Thu, 21 May 2009 15:09:25 +0000 Furbabes 384079@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Nutro cat food recall - I just saw this on another website and wanted to give a heads up to anyone who may be using it. Not sure if this is the right place, but it is the dry food. </p> <p>From the FDA -<br /> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Franklin, Tennessee (May 21, 2009) -- Today, Nutro Products announced a voluntary recall of select varieties of NUTRO® NATURAL CHOICE® COMPLETE CARE® Dry Cat Foods and NUTRO® MAX® Cat Dry Foods with “Best If Used By Dates” between May 12, 2010 and August 22, 2010. The cat food is being voluntarily recalled in the United States and ten additional countries. This recall is due to incorrect levels of zinc and potassium in our finished product resulting from a production error by a US-based premix supplier.</p> <p>Two mineral premixes were affected. One premix contained excessive levels of zinc and under-supplemented potassium. The second premix under-supplemented potassium. Both zinc and potassium are essential nutrients for cats and are added as nutritional supplements to NUTRO® dry cat food.</p> <p>This issue was identified during an audit of our documentation from the supplier. An extensive review confirmed that only these two premixes were affected. This recall does not affect any NUTRO® dog food products, wet dog or cat food, or dog and cat treats. </p> <p>Affected product was distributed to retail customers in all 50 states, as well as to customers in Canada, Mexico, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Israel. We are working with all of our distributors and retail customers, in both the US and internationally, to ensure that the recalled products are not on store shelves. These products should not be sold or distributed further.</p> <p>Consumers who have purchased affected product should immediately discontinue feeding the product to their cats, and switch to another product with a balanced nutritional profile. While we have received no consumer complaints related to this issue, cat owners should monitor their cat for symptoms, including a reduction in appetite or refusal of food, weight loss, vomiting or diarrhea. If your cat is experiencing health issues or is pregnant, please contact your veterinarian.</p> <p>Consumers who have purchased product affected by this voluntary recall should return it to their retailer for a full refund or exchange for another NUTRO® dry cat food product. Cat owners who have questions about the recall should call 1-800-833-5330 between the hours 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM CST, or visit <a href="http://www.nutroproducts.com." rel="nofollow">www.nutroproducts.com.</a> </p> <p>And here is a link to Nutro's website and statement -<br /> <a href="http://www.nutroproducts.com/press-recall/affected-Products.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nutroproducts.com/press-recall/affected-Products.html</a></p> <p>Edited to post as separate thread. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16684/page/2#post-383865 Thu, 21 May 2009 09:15:51 +0000 furryfriends50 383865@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>the innova looks good to me too. i wonder about the dried egg whites because uncooked egg whites can aren't good for cats but i think that if they are dried that must mean that they were cooked so they should be good.</p> <p>i think Carrageenan would be the one to avoid over the fruits/veggies. carrageenan is harmful to cats but fruits/veggies they just can't digest...i think that fruits/veggies are better since they are at least not harmful. </p> <p>innova is better than most brands that will put both fruits/veggies and carrageenan in their foods. </p> <p>in wet food it is probably easier to digest the veggies. dry food is harder to digest anyway overall, and since in wet the veggies at least have a high water content it is better. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16684/page/2#post-383417 Wed, 20 May 2009 15:38:30 +0000 Niki and Charlie 383417@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Alright, Petsmart's site's a bust since they don't carry anything I'd buy...</p> <p>I don't care who answers these questions, but from looking over the different ingredients of Innova and EVO, I've found one or two with NO carrageenan, but they have cranberries, and other fruits and veggies... I found some with carrageenan, but less fruits and veggies...<br /> What's better to avoid, Fruits/Veggies OR Carrageenan??</p> <p>Here're two flavors of Innova that don't appear to have Carrageenan, would you say they're good? They look okay to me, and if I can find an online store at a decent price, Innova may join the family!</p> <p>Chicken and Brown Rice Stew Ingredients:<br /> Chicken, Chicken Broth, Turkey Broth, Dried Egg Whites, Potato Starch, Brown Rice, Carrots, Apples, Oat Fiber, Natural Flavors, Guar Gum, Whole Eggs, Sodium Phosphate, Herring Oil, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate, Salt, Dl Methionine, Choline Chloride, Taurine, Potassium Chloride, Butter, Tricalcium Phosphate, Vitamins and Minerals</p> <p>Beef and Barley Stew Ingredients:<br /> Beef, Beef Broth, Lamb Broth, Dried Egg Whites, Potato Starch, Barley, Peas, Cranberries, oat Fiber, Whole Eggs, Natural Flavors, Guar Gum, Calcium Carbonate, Herring Oil, Sodium Phosphate, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate, DL Methionine, Potassium Chloride, Choline Chloride, Taurine, Sunflower Oil, Butter, Salt, Vitamins and Minerals </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16684/page/2#post-383406 Wed, 20 May 2009 15:13:13 +0000 Niki and Charlie 383406@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks a lot Furry!! I exchanged some Wellness that my cats decided they no longer enjoyed looking at from Pet Supplies, and before I left I took a list of wet foods to look for... they only had Solid Gold (it may be the other way around) and it's tuna... I'm thinking my cats wont like it since they haven't enjoyed past fish food, but I bought two just in case. I didn't see GO! Natural, Innova, or Felidae. I'm about to check out Petsmart's website... it's just so far away from my house, that it would be a pain to have to drive there for my cat food... maybe they have shipping deals... hehe well I'm just saying thank you for all of your information!<br /> Are you studying to go into a career with animals? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16684/page/2#post-383197 Wed, 20 May 2009 11:06:43 +0000 2 Popoki 383197@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I agree AV - FF50 has been a wealth of information! </p> <p>I'll be switching my girls away from Iams here shortly. I am finishing up an 8 lb bag. I'll be switching to either Orijen or Indigo Moon. I set out a separate bowl for testing the samples. They went for both of those equally enthusiatically... as though I had put treats in the bowl ! The EVO and I forget the other one, I'm thinking it was Innovation or something like that. - not so much </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16684/page/2#post-383191 Wed, 20 May 2009 10:58:23 +0000 AV 383191@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>... actually looking at the bag, it is the dry Wellness Core.... Abby is a kibble addict, I have tried until I've pulled my hair out to get her to eat wet, but she absolutely won't touch it!.....</p> <p>.....I purchased the Wellness Core at Petco..... I can't remember if PetSmart here had it too, I know they had the Blue Wilderness there..... I was in PetSmart one day looking, trying to remember your post, so I went home and printed the list, but then went to PetCo. because it was closer to where I live.... I just assumed they would both sell most of the same brands.....</p> <p>again, thank you for the education!..... up until now, I had only bought pet food at the Publix..... I feel much better now, knowing Abby is eating better.... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16684/page/2#post-383183 Wed, 20 May 2009 10:46:41 +0000 furryfriends50 383183@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>"FF,<br /> This post has been so helpful to me, I finally have Abby on Wellness, and she likes it......I couldn't find some of the best brands on your list, but I can be the Wellnes at the local PetCo &#38; PetSmart.... I like the fact that it's first ingredients are real meats/fish...... Thanks again,"</p> <p>they have wellness at petsmart? the best they have here is the blue wilderness anymore. now i only get the friskies wet from there which is in addition to the raw and dry that mine get. petco seems to have more decent foods than petsmart for some reason but their friskies wet is more expensive. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16684/page/2#post-383180 Wed, 20 May 2009 10:44:33 +0000 furryfriends50 383180@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>both wet and dry wellness CORE are better than regular wellness. the CORE fits more into the top five dry foods than the regular wellness which is farther down the list. so yes core is better than regular wellness :)</p> <p>the regular wellness wet food they put lots of veggies/fruit in which may be good for people but it isn't good for cats. also since chicken liver is the second ingrediant it could end up being to much liver. I know for raw that liver/other organs should be only 5% of the food, and i think that the wellness would be higher than that for sure then. </p> <p>wellness is getting really expensive though and if you can get EVO wet it is cheaper and better (especially the 95% meat ones). wet food btw you can rotate flavors/brands all the time and cats don't have a problem with that. it is dry food that you have to switch much slower. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16684#post-383077 Wed, 20 May 2009 08:58:42 +0000 AV 383077@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>FF,<br /> This post has been so helpful to me, I finally have Abby on Wellness, and she likes it......I couldn't find some of the best brands on your list, but I can be the Wellnes at the local PetCo &#38; PetSmart....
