Question-- When making a home-made diet for my Asthmatic Cat, instead
of Chicken or Turkey, what would you suggest for a protein? Ive been using
Chicken breast, steamed, mixed with brown rice and spinach. All blended
together finely in a food processor to make an easyily digested meal. Since
he reacts to most holistic vitamin additives, we dont add them anymore. He
isnt deficient in any, except for EFA's, and for that, im only adding a light
touch of Olive Oil to each meal... is this alright in your opinion? He's
totally exhausted most of the time too... seems to really mirror my CFS
symptoms. Its really quite amazing how much he does that.

Thanks !!!! hugs, Kelly
