Ducks and Cat Food?
Comments (4)There actually IS a book called that Can't recall the EXACT name my friend lent it to me. OWNED BY DUCKS or something like that. I have a small flock and they are EXTREMELY demanding. They come and stare thru the glass doors sqwauking "Get out here and feed us!" I chase them back to the pond but they turn right around and follow me to the house.They also run into the garage the minute the door is open and eat catfood(we have a garage cat loooong story),birdseed etc. til we chase them out. We put it up now but some dribles on the floor plus they remember. I try to feed them goodies DOWN by the pond Y know salad castoffs ,lettuce tomatoes and they also get fed egg layer crumbles.We have turtles who come up out of the pond and eat with them TOO cute.One red slider actually gooses the ducks and works his way into the dish of food.Fills up with 3 BIG bites. Goes to the pond to drink and the smaller turtles,fish etc eat what escapes from his mouth and turtle lips(?) Your ducks are beautiful! The place where my dad lives is SR housing. Nice pond and ducks and geese. They only feed their ducks cracked corn and the residents(elderly) toss them bread and cheese and all sorts of CRAP. No matter what anyone tells them but the ducks seem to be doing well I have visited them for 5 years now! Ducks are so funny,our flock got up to 21 and I was going crazy so we gave away more than half and are down to 8. Tanya...See MoreDried cat food as fertilizer?
Comments (17)I had no idea cat food could be used as a fertilizer!! Would it have to be the high quality expensive stuff? Could I add it to my compost pile? Any quality of protein can be used as an organic fertilizer. The lowest quality that is commonly available is probably corn meal and used coffee grounds. The highest quality is probably blood meal. I use corn meal all the time as my only fertilizer, so even the worst thing I can think of is pretty good stuff. Blood meal has several other issues that make it not so good as a direct fertilizer. But as to cat food, any cheap cat food will be much better than plain corn meal and will not have the issues that blood meal has. You can certainly waste put perfectly good fertilizer in a compost bin. Or you can use it directly in the garden. A heaping handful under the canopy of small plants works wonders. Or you can scatter it around the lawn. After you apply it is a good idea to moisten the kibbles so they will soften and/or melt away. You don't have to wash them in. You only have to moisten them and they fall apart the next time anything touches them....See MoreThe history of dog(and cat) food (by the Pet Food Institute)

Comments (6)Not sure how well all the hairball control cat foods work since there can be several factors that cause cats to throwup hairballs. I have 4 cats and 3 of them rarely throw up hairballs....maybe 2-3 a year. My fourth cat throws up about twice a week but that becomes even less when I remember to brush her. I believe another reason she throws up so much is because she has lost all her teeth, due to disease, and she tends to gulp air when when she eats. I managed to reduce her throwing up from daily to a couple times a weeks by feeding her small amounts of food thru the day. She eats mainly wet, with about a tablespoon of dry daily....See Moreparty_music50
