Okay, so the holidays are coming, critter pals. You know what that means, don'cha? Yep. It means extra treats. A little turkey under the table is expected and greatly anticipated. Part of a baking powder biscuit that falls on the floor is great for pooches. I know you guys snarf it down. That's for sure.
Us kitties are a little more particular but not all that much more. We're prone to gain weight also. That's the downside of all the holiday eating for food humans and their pets.
In January, with the holidays behind us, we start that New Year's Resolution Diet--just like our food humans do. If we all ate like animals, that yucky diet might not be necessary this year.
I'm not talking about the animals ("anipals" to some of you) that we are. We're domesticated and many of us have taken on the eating habits of our food humans. It is a delicious way to live, but the extras have lead us astray.
No, when I say we should eat like animals, I'm talking about the animals in the wild. Granted, they have to hunt their own food, but have you noticed that our pals are not chubby. No, they are sleek because they only eat what they need for fuel and they run through the woods like the wind.
We could learn a thing or two from them and maybe we'd lower the frequency of feline and canine diabetes and obesity in the process.
Think about it, critter pals, and leave a comment on how you plan to you stay slim during the holidays and any diet and nutrition tips you have for others in 2010. Yay!

Hiya Max! So great to meet ya! We chatted with you a bit on twitter and thought we'd check out your blog. Great post, by the way! This is why our mom was trying to get us to eat raw food. Two of us are exhibiting IBD symptoms and she read that a raw diet is very good for that and allergies. She just wished we had all taken to the food and not just two of us, MOL. Maybe with time, we all will.
Please come by and check out our blog if you get the chance. We love company!
I don't know what to do!!! You are so right about being healthy and lien, but Max, I'm a treats addict! My Mum is trying hard to get me off my addiction.

Great comments. Yes, treats are addictive. There was a time when I had HH's mom charmed into giving me treats several times a day when HH wasn't looking. Those were the days.
Alas, health is more important, isn't it? Doesn't taste quite as good though.
Thanks for the comments. Let's hear from more of you. Suggestions?
Max
Max you are absolutely correct. We believe in food that is as natural as possible. As for doesn't taste quite as good? I disagree, a kill that's still warm is better than all that stale canned tuna shite.
And I hate all that "I can Haz Cheezburger" stuff. Real cats don't do Mcdonald's ugh!
