This website was born in 2003 out of determination and exasperation. 

I had just discovered, after years of frustration, that my beloved cat Duke - who had suffered for years from a digestive disorder labeled "IBD" - was cured of what I'd been told was an incurable disease.  What cured him certainly wasn't medication.  And it definitely wasn't the prescription food that I was buying at the veterinary clinic. 

Mind you, I'd hardly made a shocking new discovery.  The simple fact that cats are obligate carnivores was amply documented.  But the staggeringly wide gap between this one simple scientific fact and the conventional wisdom on what a cat should eat - at least as far as nutritional advice from many veterinarians and what was being sold everywhere as 'cat food' - was too wide. 

I was thrilled at Duke's recovery.  And I was deeply affected by the hundreds and hundreds of stories I was reading from people like me online who had an identical experience:  once they took the plunge and started feeding their cats like the carnivores they are, their animals "mysteriously" recovered from all kinds of ailments such as inflammatory bowel disease, urinary tract disorders, diabetes, and more. 

To make a long story short, I wanted to spread the word.  And so I started this website.

I'm delighted that you found your way over here and my fondest hope is that you'll find something helpful here to help your cat.
