Important Webinar on Cat Food
Here's a webinar worth watching: Dr. Andrew Jones presents the 'real truth' about cat food, what is best to feed, what to avoid, and how to naturally treat your cat with food and at-home remedies. May 9, Tuesday, 5 p.m. PDT, 8 p.m. EDT https://www.thecatsupplement.com/webinar/If you think you'll be too busy to attend, I recommend signing up anyway and then you'll be on the list to get a link to the replay afterward.
