He was diagnosed with a brain tumor and heart condition a year before he died. I am certain that his diet is what kept him going that last year, right till the end. Then to start the new year off, I was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency. Let me tell you, it really sucks! Luckily, I was diagnosed immediately.
Many people have these crazy symptoms heart palpitations, erratic blood pressure, erratic pulse, fatigue, depression, anxiety, aches and pains and many more symptoms and their vitamin D levels are never checked and they are misdiagnosed with depression, MS, lupus, autoimmune disease, etc. Go get yourself tested. I have been feeding my cats a homemade raw diet for over two years now and the changes they have experienced are great.
Well, if an ancestral diet is good for them, then of course, I reasoned it would be good for me. Dietary therapy has been considered important in the management of many feline gastrointestinal disorders. Low fat diets were for a long period of time the major recommendation for feeding cats with acute and chronic diarrhea. However, a recent double-blinded clinical trial showed that dietary fat did not affect the outcome of diarrhea in cats.
Holiday Safety Many substances are available to cats during the winter and holiday season. Just a few sips from an antifreeze puddle on your garage floor or the licking of paws after walking through a puddle can produce symptoms within 30 minutes such as staggering, vomiting, weakness, listlessness, frequent drinking, and urination that could be followed hours later by coma and death.

After four hours, the ethylene glycol in antifreeze causes severe kidney damage that is irreversible. If treated without delay, the veterinarian will induce vomiting, administer activated charcoal to bind the antifreeze in the gastrointestinal tract and give the cat intravenous ethyl alcohol ethanol for three days or longer.
The ethanol works by competing for the enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase, that metabolizes ethylene glycol into toxic components. The Winn Feline Foundation has just released a study that showed that cats lack a glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide GIP response to glucose.

Through millions of years of evolution, cats have developed unique characteristics of anatomy, physiology, metabolism, and behavior indicative of obligate carnivores. Many cats survive on these dry, supplemented, plant-based diets but they do not thrive. This book will discuss basic feline anatomy and physiology explaining how a cat's body metabolizes nutrients coupled with interpreting pet food labels which will help you make healthy selections whether choosing to purchase commercial foods or making a home-prepared raw diet to feed your cat.

I trust my coworkers and started feeding wet food after that discussion, but after reading this book, it's looking like I'll be switching over fully to wet cat food. This is an extremely thorough but highly technical nutrition wise book to read. I highly recommend it to all cat owners!!!! I judgment on your current feeding practices, but this book could potentially save you a fortune in Vet bills.
