Just a heads up for anyone concerned about kitty health and food/gut problems.
Many cats can suddenly look emaciated and become food fussy.
Long term build up of toxins from these cheap (and sometimes expensive) products can hit all of a sudden.
If a cat gets symptoms like loosing wieght and food intolerance or becoming obese for no apparent reason get the thyroid level checked before resorting to invasive treatment. Zinc overload in pet food can come from the lining in pouches
And packaging.
Return gradually to clean (human food grade ingredients) with far less over-processing.
Learn the terms like the difference between Food Grade and Feed Grade!
Be careful with fish. It can overload the cats system with iodine. However if you look on the ingredient list you will probably find its fish flavoured by-product.
Some cats become addicted to fish and this depletes the needed nutrients that carnivores must have from pure meat.
A cat that only eats one type/brand/flavour of manufactured food will have deficiencies that will build up into health problems over the years.
Or in the case of zinc overload will imbalance the thyroid to a potentially fatal condition.
Remember that nutrition and diet courses for vet students are almost always sponsored by pet food manufacturers.

‘If the food is made from inexpensive feed-grade raw materials (which describes the vast majority of pet food) and is highly processed (the vast majority of kibble has been cooked 4 times before reaching the bag), chances are the food contains high levels of detrimental substances, including oxidized fats and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which in addition to medications that alter the gut microbiome (antibiotics, steroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, to name a few) can prompt the immune system to overreact and cause massive systemic inflammation.’

This notice has been copied from GCCF current notices in adaption to rules.
It is becoming very difficult to book whole litters in for vaccinations, especially if more than six.
With vet check and vaccine etc you need long session.
Also there is a shortage of vaccines.
Earlier during Covid lockdown more time was allowed between ist vaccine and booster.
Its obviously safe to leave 3 months. If the rules have changed there is no need for a complete new course.
When you aquire your kitten just book a slot asap and give the vaccine infromation from the kittens health card.
It is far easier for a new owner to book a 10 minute appointment than it is for a breeder to get a 50+ one for a whole litter.
If you are buying a home bred kitten that has never been near other animals that go outside its pretty safe. Especially if the parents are vaccinated and healthy. Cats that live in outdoor cateos are still house cats.
Just never let a kitten outside or mix with outside cats or dogs.
There is always a prevalent virus etc going the rounds at certain times of the year. Right now its Bordatella. (Kennel cough) kittens pick this up very easily. Doxycycline at first signs can clear this up quickly.

“ GCCF GUIDANCE FOR BREEDERS REGARDING THE CURRENT SHORTAGE OF CAT VACCINES

Unfortunately there is a worldwide vaccine shortage. This is due to the pandemic related production issues combined with an increase in the number of cats needing vaccination.
The Veterinary Officer has contacted all the major UK vaccine manufacturers and they are all giving the same advice to veterinary practices. This is to prioritise primary vaccination courses and delay booster vaccinations for up to 3 months.”

There is currently enourmous controversy over manufactured cat foods causing illness and death of many of our feline family members.
Of course rumours and hate speech follow on and many companies will be suffering great financial loss due to recalling product.
The way we live today is unfortunately centered around profit. Above all things, profit is indeed king.
Go back 50 years or so and the only cat food on the market seemed to be Kitekat.
A revolting stinking glop of grains soaked in dead fish juice.

The first commercial pet food was developed by a guy who watched dogs stealing hard tack biscuits at the docks. Spratts was the biggest pet food producer of the time because someone realised you could feed animals, dogs in particular, any old junk as long as you had the right flavour enhancer, palatability additives.
Today this practice applies to most manufactured foods, even baby food.
The countries in the Far East have this down to a fine art and many of the rich strange sauces we have become familiar with to splash on rice and noodles have been perfected over thousands of years.
Many of these sauces are the products of putrification. Ancient Romans guzzled Garum made from fermented and putrified fish guts. Putrification is natural. Chemical mimicry of the flavours is not.

After the pandeic that has hit profits of every industry it is obvious that a great deal of change will occur.
To manufactur top quality food you need top quality ingredients.
Cats eat meat.They are obligate carnivores.
Top quality meat is really expensive.
Making cheap low grade grain meal taste like meat is tge path to success.

However domestic cats have been around humans for over 10,000 years. It was very beneficial because humans attracted cats natural prey, rats, mice, birds because of the farming and storage of grain. Lizards and geckos because of the warm brick walls of houses. Cats became fat and lazy due to easy prey but the easiest of all was to sneakily pinch the meat rosting on the fire. Especially the lovely sizzling fatty bits around the edges of the carcass.
Anyone with a cat will understand the sneaky paw and claws that come up under the table when the trimmings of your steak are on the edge of the plate.

At no time in history did a feline of any size raid a corn or wheat-field.
The only grain a cat consumned was partially digested by vermin or birds because they liked the flavours in the guts and gizzards of their prey. It would only form a tiny part of the diet if at all.
So why do most of the manufactured
Animal foods we buy contain mainly grain of dubious quality? Go back to the hard tack biscuits, which at the time would have been stored with another Navy staple Pemican on ships making long sea voyages.
The spoilage of these two staples would have been discarded at docks making a free for all for all four legged creatures that were indigenous to ports where cargo unloaded.
The Pemican would be rather pungent, especially if it had gone off a bit after a long wet sea voyage. The smell would permeate the hard tack
And bingo! Palatability. Stray doggie heaven. Mr Spratt’s recipe to fortune.
Humans consume copious amounts of meat and there is always enough to put some aside for a cat. Lightly cooked and minced with a few vegetables added. Broccoi, squash, plus a little scoop of bonemeal ( unless you are like me and keep a permanent bone broth stockpot on the go) will keep your kitty happy and healthy.
After the war my num was always on the cadge for bones from the butcher or fish heads from the fishmonger, ‘ for the cats’
In reality she would cook amazing broths from either of these and make into soup for us as children.
The cats got what was left over. Yet they were the biggest, shiniest, healthiest cats ever. They also worked for a living, in those days bringing in a bucket of coal was no fun when some lumps had long tails and ran up your sleeves!
We had cats that lived in the coal bunker, the outside toilet, the old Anderson Shelter and dad’s big tool box.

It was in the 1950s that the idea of a ‘house cat’ began and from then on billionaire companies have been cashing in on our sentimentality and ignorance. Today with the internet we have billions of ill informed ‘experts’ who would believe butterflies were made of stainless steel if They read it via Google!

Common sense has become the rarest, most valuable commodity in todays society and that is the main reason for all the sufferings of man and his beasts.

If you have made your cat a member of your family and household…. Feed it like one!

Primary needs in a cats diet.
Meat.
Water.

There is plenty of good information about what extra little treats are good for cats in very small quantities and they do not come in packets.
Here are some…

Pumpkin/Squash.
Peas.
Cucumber.
Cooked or steamed. Carrots. Broccoli. Asparagus. Green Beans.
Rice, Cous Cous in tiny amounts
Even a blueberry or two!
Just as with humans, a little of what you fancy. It does not balance the diet… mainly adds fibre but things that might be found in the guts of prey may give trace elements. Adding Keffir to the food will give a natural probiotic which the juices of the gut from prey would also do.

Lovely summer kittens.

Kitten tips for new owners.

Giving new foods to recently acquired kittens will cause tummy upsets very quickly. Always listen to advice given by the breeder. Kitten food only in first year and any new varieties introduced in regular food in tiny portions at first.
If you do not see your kitten drinking regularly add half a cup of water to wet food.
