The furkids get wet, natural food. But they also get to snack on dry. Mostly PJ, the Burmese, because he has a yet-to-be-diagnosed condition by his vet (they’ve done test after test) in which he can easily lose .5-1 lb a week. [He is averaging 8.5lbs.] He’s no overweight guy & he wants food ALL.THE.TIME. So, apparently…I’ve heard…that giving cats dry food is the equivalent of giving “kitty crack”. Well, okay, I hope so. That’s not my beef. My beef is that no matter HOW the natural dry is stored– usually in an air tight, ant-proof container — within a week or two it will be full of moths and moth larvae. Not fun. Not cheap -either for the food or the replacement costs as we repeatedly throw it out.
Does this ever happen to you?
What’s the solution?

A bit of administrative news:
I’ve decided to take to the BLOG when answering some of the general email questions I receive, from now on. 99.9% of the time…I don’t receive further contact or acknowledgement from the original person. Perhaps others can benefit too from the responses I give out.
I have to say that this is very disheartening to me. I really want to know if I’ve been helpful, and I’m really curious as to what transpires with these folks.
I stopped taking long-distance phone calls a few years back & put up a little blurb about it on the “contact us” page. The sole reason was because I was spending HOURS every day responding, counseling, advising (in general) people who called to seek my expertise. People I didn’t know and would probably never get to know. The more I did, the more I…well…did. For free [& sometimes not if I returned the call].
I wouldn’t dream of doing this to the professionals I need assistance from every now and then, and yet here I was.
