When I was researching retirement homes for my mother some years ago a volunteer told me that she and others in the community deliver food to low income seniors in the area. She said that there were instances of them eating cat food because it was all they could afford. How ****ing tragic is that? Point being, there are alternatives but it is tough to know what those are without the education you have and my daughter has and affordability is a huge factor. You just can't deny that given the number of people out there who struggle with this issue every day. They aren't all lazy idiots.
Yeah that was the old tale going around for decades. Thing is, certain brands of cat food are quite nutritious and the smell is no worse than a can of refried beans. We feed our pets very well in this country.
