"Hi Trina
and Jeni! After we received our first shipment of Home Made 4Life at the beginning of
January, I wrote to you that Lupi was going NUTS
over the HM4L, and that she was "gobbling down each meal with gusto." If you
recall, we switched Lupi to raw in order to cleanse her of all the
antibiotics and other medications she's received over the past four years for Feline Viral
Rhinotracheitis with accompanying "chronic snotty nose." Lupi has now been on
the 100% raw diet for a month, and we've already noticed both mental and physical changes.
"Lupi has always been a friendly, affectionate, talkative little girl, but her
vocalization and chatter, activity, and general interactivity have increased considerably
since she's been eating the raw food. She's running and leaping around more, and is
forever calling Paul, Mickey and me to her "new discoveries" - her favorite
chair that seems to be missing her fleece blanket, the heavenly bathroom radiator,
invisible ghosties flying around the room and residing in different places on our living
room wall... She's much more persistent when she decides its time for a good rubdown from
her Daddy, chasing him around and hunting him down, leaping to his shoulder
when he least expects it! Physically, her beautiful, dark eyes, have a new
"wildness" to them. They're wide open, crystal clear and alive.
"Lupi has always been a tiny cat, topping the scales at no more than six pounds. She
has always been muscular, but very trim in her physical composition. She's always eaten
voraciously, but never had that "healthy layer of cat fat" that is always
recommended, and she was forever hiding in their bedding to stay warm. We got the
impression that she was using so much of her energy staying warm that little was left over
to support her immune system. Since switching her to raw food, we've noticed a slight
weight gain, and a more "solid" feel to her body, and she's spending more time
out in the open, with well-insulated Mickey, who, by the way, has trimmed down and toned
up a bit since we started adding the raw food to his diet. He's looking less "pink
and mushy" and more "pink and athletic"!
"Our thanks to you for inspiring us not to be satisfied with the status quo. You've
been so helpful to us, and we are eternally grateful for the care, knowledge, and support
you selflessly provided as we took the plunge into natural feeding. It's obvious we're on
the right track!"
