Hi there

I am not a native English speaker, sorry for any misunderstanding or if I express myself differently or with errors here and there.

I don't know what "to ebay" means, but I only can guess (I don't find the word in the dictionary, it may be a neologism) - do you mean "to sell things online"? Anyway, what I can say is that in rescue centres, people will not give the most expensive (and of highest quality) food to the cats they are trying to put for adoption, they will also feed the cats with Whiskas, Kittekat, Darling, Gourmet, etc (I mention here the commercial bad product people find in Romania, but some exist in your country as well). You don't have to feel bad for the quality of the food you pass to them, because that's what they get there anyway. For instance, I won a Whiskas promotional package at a cat competition here, of course I didn't offer it to my cats, but I did offer them to the cats outside my block of flats, who have no owners and I am sure that was better for them than eating a day or two in the garbage bins.

I will prepare my evidence from here and try my luck with her.

Thank you, yes it's been hard, especially with one of them, who had gradually passed by herself totally on dry, she is the one that made me totally stop the dry, she would just have starved herself until she got her dry stuff

I am on raw for a longer time, maybe for about a year or so, but it was only at times before I made the big change, and only my boy would have it mostly. Fussy creatures

Things go pretty well now, they must have realized I am not joking.
EDIT: As for your neighbour, you can try, maybe she will listen or try to understand, but don't expect too much and don't ask her to do what you are doing, some are not that open to the new ideas. Believe me, I have tried that myself, all I got was stange eyes looking at me lol (it works only about 5 percent)

In Romania, as far as I am aware of, there's no apparatus to detect the real content of additives in products (human and veterinary), therefore the manufacturers will specify (or not) that the product contains "E"'s (additives), but the percentage cannot be detected, so they may lie as much as they want. "We are what we eat" is my obsession, so our food in the fridge is always prepared by me, from raw products, just like our cat's meals. It's the least step we can do for our health. BUT, I must admit, we buy a treat or two sometimes.
