The article can be found in the right sidebar of the catinfo.org website. (It's a pdf, otherwise I would post it directly)Perhaps suggesting the Pottenger study to the friend might help as well. I can't recommend feeding raw to cats (and dogs) enough! I have witnessed true miracles of healing since starting several years back. One ol' gal who was IBD at the time on a premium grain free canned food completely resolved and lived to be 24 years old. I had her bloodwork done at 23yrs just to check up on her and all her values were perfect. She passed peacefully of old age with no ailments. I have an 18yr old who still jumps 10 feet from the floor everyday to lay in his favorite bed and a 15 yr old that insists that he keep all the younger whipper-snappers in line. All animals should have the chance to be so vibrantly healthy. For me, honoring their nature is the easiest way to do that.
