I think we can all agree that cats are carnivores; that they are meant to eat meat and not plants, even when we feed then non-meat products in their food, like corn. So, why do both of my cats love to attack, and consume, my plant that has grass like leaves? I'm afraid the plant is almost dead because it has so few green "leaves" to produce energy for the plant to grow.

We should put all pets to sleep, starting with cats telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/climat... Clearly, the carbon pawprint from our fuzzy little buddies is partly responsible for global warming. A medium size dog has the same impact as a 4x4 driven 6000 miles per year. Al told me yesterday that he will continue to eat meat but that since I am not among the liberal loyalty, I must become a vegan.So today (I'm not waiting until the New year)....today I am a vegan...... I am taking my beautiful dog to the SPCA to be put down.

Though I am crying right now, because he is so loving and loyal and truly a member of my family.....I was told by the PamP libs that many species with go extinct because of global warming.....people in the 3rd world will perish..... Al told me that NYC will be under water in just 13-14 more years.... The polar ice caps "during summer" will be gone in just 5 ten or fifteen years..... We will see massive hurricanes and storms...and our pets are partially to blame. So I am becoming a liberal. I cannot stand being a flat earth "denier" any longer.

Join me and we can get Barry O a 2nd term. Maybe we can get him to keep a promise or two. Not only am I now a vegan....(that tofu turkey sandwich I just had was awesome!

) I am also going to eat only RAW foods...... Cooking your food requires energy and makes you the devil! Energy consumption will kill off countless species and I will not be a part of cooking my food....how insane! I do not own cats but I have several friends that do own them.....they are "deniers" so I'll have to catnap or kidnap their pets and have them put to sleep as well..... We must save the earth.

Please.....everyone......stop eating meat, put your pets to sleep and really......heat and air conditioning are so "20th Century" .....bundle up you pussycats! Eat raw food (locally grown as well) and we should have this global warming thing cleared up in just a few 10 or 20 years...... Also, if you are reading this and you have children, you are really, really EVIL. Think of all the diapers, and countless other resources that are wasted on procreation.

I say we establish a "one child" Federal law in the U.S. And really ramp up abortion. Imagine the amount of CO2 emissions we could offset if we simply exterminate our pets and children. Lastly, I sold my truck and purchased a mountain bike.... It doesn't work well for our family vacations but I must be really EVIL if I travel around this awful nation of ours....traveling is really taboo unless you are jetting off to a climate summit... then its OK....

Cats lack the gene for detecting "sweet" and thus lack the ability to taste carbohydrates. This is why cats are carnivores: other foods do nothing for them. On the other hand, cats also seem near-genetically driven to eat grass (to induce regurgitation) when they feel ill (or have a hair ball?) I think your solution here is to let your cats out to consume outdoor grass and move your plant to an unreachable location (hang it mid-air?

) .

Cats r omnivores meat n grass is normal. The green stuff has protein too. Try some wheatgrass or barley for you cat.
