yeah, this is why i just put in an order for about 8kg of argentine beef at my local store, i had it in my house for 2 weeks and consumed about 4kg of it but it was surprising how little i actually needed, and it helped my cat feeding it to him a lot also

the cat has been living out here in a very clean, mostly poison free environment, except for a bit of insecticides, and his blood test showed that he was fine except that his gingevitis was slowing his food intake enough that it showed he wasn't getting quite enough food... he's getting surgery to clean up the mess at the back of his mouth soon and i'm quite confident that between feeding him beef regularly and keeping him indoors most of the time he will be fine, i do want to get him a harness and leash so i can take him on walks around the area to get sunshine and air but i think that will be enough to keep him in tip top shape... there is a lot of nasty ticks in this area that i have many times picked off the stray cats and dogs that hang around local shops and i just don't want to have to deal with a cat with paralysis ticks again, after losing one a couple years back... and the cat's biggest problem was it looked like he was stealing shitty food, leading to the dental problem, so, again, food is the best medicine

i've also been looking at some herbs that can help, one notable one is fennel, which has a mild anti-insect effect, i assume that it's probably quite a good medicine for keeping the bugs away with that stuff... and it's coming to summer time now and there will be mosquitoes and other things around, but medicines are always second to good diet
