This page (click on the link that says "by-products" to scroll to that section) explains why I don't love them but why I also don't preach too hard against them

If it's a choice between something I know is not good for them and something that might or might not be -- well, the cats say it's good eating. At least, I don't know of any recalls on Sheba, and there are meat by-products in the Friskies Medleys I usually feed them, too.

Well I had a fun little morning on Metro North. Nobody got hurt and that's really all that matters, of course.

First we stopped and they told us there was an out of service train ahead of us that had to be moved. Then WE lost power and were an out of service train that had to be moved... and that another train would be coming along shortly to push us to Harlem.

It didn't work! Naturally. They came through and released all the breaks by hand. The car was getting colder. We're underground so its pretty dark when the rest of our power goes. People were getting antsy... aaaaaand the woman in the seat next to me said she'd been in the crash at Valhalla.

It took forever and a day (ok, about 2 hours) to get us out of there. She held up like a champ. On the train that took us from Harlem I heard other people saying they'd been on the train that wrecked. They always said what car, it was interesting. "I was in the second car..."

So its been A Day and I just got to work! Good times... good times...

[link] I didn't actually put the link in that post. Let's chalk that up to exhaustion. Yeah, the by-products are a wayyyyyyyy better choice than corn starch.

Trudy, I'm glad everyone is ok, and especially glad that that crash survivors weren't too miserable from fear.

That sounds like it could have been a total meltdown point for a lot of those folks. Good thing everyone kept their cool. ::ba-dum-bum::

Trudy, how awful. I'm glad everyone is okay.

The uti is being stubborn. I have to go on another antibiotic to clear it up and then a third as a maintenance antibiotic for the remainder of my pregnancy. I'm trying not to focus on the fact that utis can lead to miscarriage, but it's hard not to.

Hugs to everyone, spring is coming, hang on!

Andi, thanks for that list, there are some more foods I haven't tried them on yet! We have yet to find the "perfect" food - one that makes me totally happy and all three cats enjoy it. I have tried them on Soulistic and Tiki; they liked them but didn't eat it all. I don't like wasting food. I wish I had a pig.

The last one I had hung on like death. Hopefully, you can get rid of it,sj.

Can I take a nap? Is 5pm too late for a little nap? It is, isn't it.

ltc is not a fan of Chinese food.
