Not to offend others by talking again more about cats than sexual habits of
list members, but...
Price/Pottenger studies: in the 1930's Francis M. Pottenger, Jr., MD, began
a ten-year expirement in which he fed a diet of 2/3 raw meat and 1/3raw
milk & cod liver oil mix to a group of cats. It took those cats 4
generations to become significantly (statistically) healthier than the
control group--which was fed a the same, only cooked dinner (not "processed"
with the many fillers and stuff in pet foods today).
One thing I remember tho was him saying that something like 1 year of a
human diet given to a cat would reduce their health so bad it would take a
minimum of 3 years, if even possible, to reverse. He looked at bones and
teeth and bowels and mating and temper and all kinds of other stuff. I dont
know how many subjects he had, but seeing as they were unfixed, I would
imagine quite a few. Of course the experiment was done for applications to
human medicine, but its heavily touted by holistic vets these days.
As I have said before, my cats preceded me on the paleo diet. Minus milk for
either of us, and I dont eat ground chicken bones except on a full moon.
So I have lots of cat books if someone wants more of the generation by
generation run down.
