Murfsmom, no, I would never do something like that to you.............here kitty, kitty, go see Murfsmom, here's the address..........

Her response was: "THAT....is one LUCKY kitty!" ha

It has its own cooler in the pet food aisle at our grocery store. It must be refrigerated and used within 2 days of opening. Duke likes it so much he licks the bowl. And it must be good for him---his eyes are clear, his coat is soft, and he has lots of energy. Does anyone else have experience with this brand of cat food? freshpetselect.com
