Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey, you love done to the censure? Wow for you you.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe
Man W four c Y Radio and this is our
Positively Pipeman segment with the Pet health Guru and Man.
We're gonna talk today about cat nutrition. First thing I
have to ask you Bill right off the bat is
(00:40):
why is it that dogs like to eat cat poop.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Because it's more nutrition than dog food?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Wow? Wow, that's wild.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
So tell us a little bit about cat nutrition because
I think most people don't even really know.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
They just give their cats.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
They buy something off the sh they don't even know,
and they just give it to them.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, that's the problem. That's the biggest problem. I mean,
commercial pet foods, of course, have been around for about
seventy five years now, and it's just a convenience food
as all it is. It's no you know, it's not
nutritionally sound. It's not going to provide them with an
ultimate sense of health or anything of that nature. The
problem with cats, they're very unique animals in that they're
(01:25):
obligate carnivores, which means they can only basically break down
animal fats and proteins, so that you know, with that
being said, they need a meat diet. They're also they
originated in the desert, and because of that, they have
to get all their moisture from their food. They don't
(01:45):
drink very well out of a dish or anything of
that nature, so they're always when you're feeding dry food,
they're always in a state of dehydration, and of course
that creates all kinds of problems with the kidney and
the liver. That's why we see so much diabetes, why
we see so much kidney fail your UTIs and cats.
It should just be a raw meat diet. And when
(02:07):
we stop and think about it, we're the only creature
on the face of yours that cooks our food. And
you know, if your choice was only to have dry
cereal every single day of your life, just not to
think about that, how long would it take?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Only if it was Count Schocula, then I'd be good.
I could deal it Count Schocula the rest of my life.
But he gave me cheerios for the rest of my life.
I might become a serial killer.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
There you go, right now, right?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I didn't you know? You said that? And I was like,
oh crap, I did that and didn't even notice.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I did that. Uh So, here's a question I have
for you.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I don't see it nowadays, but you used to be
that cat owners only gave their cats milk, not water.
Why is that and is there a reason why it's
not as popular today.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Well, first off, our melk gets you buy in the
supermarket is no longer milk, so the animals quite often rejected.
When it used to be whole raw milk, that was fine.
It was actually very nutritious because we're doing it as
part of the overall feeding program back then, and so
what nutritious foods did we wanted were animal based and
milk was happening to be at the top of the list.
(03:36):
Of course, our water today too, is so highly toxic
with chemicals and that sort of thing. That's what again,
why these animals will not drink the tap water because
it's just really horrible. You know, we have to keep
the body hydrated, so we do need good water. Living
water is found in live foods, and that's that's what
(03:57):
you know. Raw meat basically is a living food. And
the other thing is you have to do variety. You
have to do a rotational diet. Every day should be
something different because every food brings different nutrients to the table,
and it also food is a dual transport system. It's
bringing in nutrients, but it's also taking out very specific toxins.
(04:20):
And of course, with our animals living basically in such
a toxic environment, I mean it's not something they live
on the floor and you're using all kinds of you know,
deadly chemicals on your floor. It was funny I maybe
mentioned it on the previous show, but when we look
at even the dishwashing detrogens and that sort of thing
(04:41):
that we have, the toxicity of that that leaves a
film on the on the dishes and on your utensils
and all of that. So every single day you're just
getting more toxins, more toxins, more toxins. And then you
know people go around sticking these supid you know, send
things into their plug. They make the room smell goodness
(05:01):
right at nose level for your cat or your dog,
and so they're breathing in the fumes every single moment
of every single day.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
And I want to add to this because I'm sure
there's people out there listening or watching that like think
that it's being dramatic and like what's the big deal
or even people would reference what we did when we
were going, Oh, we drink a garden hose, what's the
big deal? And we know what the big deal is today.
But here, here's the thing is, like you you're toxifying
(05:36):
these animals and they don't even have a choice. That's
number one right now. Number two, I'm gonna give a
perfect example of what you talked about the dishes. Okay.
So I was in Bali, as you know, for like
two to three months, and they have what's called their
Bali belly, which is the same as Mexico Manzuma's revenge.
(05:59):
It's basically, don't drink the water, okay, and otherwise you
get food poisoning. What's interesting is I and I did
have Bally belly like three times while I was there,
and I was extremely careful. Here's the problem. If one
drop of that tap water gets on the plate of
(06:22):
the food you're eating, you get Bali belly. And that's
how it happened to me.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
One time.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
It was like basically there was probably just a drop
of water on the plate. There was nothing wrong with
the food, there was nothing wrong with anything else. It
was from washing the plates.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, absolutely, And you know the thing is that you
get all these build up of all these different chemicals
and they all interact completely differently. You know, the EPA
lists something like one hundred and twenty thousand different chemicals today.
But good news is that it is say nine of
them are safe. Yeah, a good government, you know, really
(07:00):
on top of things. But that's just it. I mean,
there's so many different chemicals that are involved in this,
and of course the number of what they've actually did
a number of years ago they were actually testing the
cats for toxins, and the number two toxin that they
found in their body was flame retardant. Because you love
the lay on the carpet, love the lay on the furniture,
(07:23):
all of which has been treated, you know, with all
these toxic chemicals, you know, to prevent a fire. So
when so we're going to prevent the house from burning
down if it does catch fire, and in the meantime,
we kill everything in the place, you know.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
So I just thought of something.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I'm kind of curious, and maybe other people are curious.
I'm highly allergic to cats. Question is could that chain
and could that also be part of what they're being
fed and if they were fed properly and with the
right nutrition, maybe people allergic to cats wouldn't have such
a problem.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Is that true, Yes, that's true. Basically, cat dander, of
course is part of the cause of that allergen because
it's a dust like particle. But the basic part of
that is that the skin is a major detoxifying organ
so all the poisons that are in the foods, in
the environment, everything else that went through the cat's body
(08:21):
are coming out in that toxic as a toxic dust
basically is what it really is. And of course we're
exposed to it too through the you know, through the
same chemicals that are in our environment that they're living in.
So now you're kind of getting a double dose or
a concentrated dose of it. So, you know, if we
detoxified and we make sure that our cats are being
(08:44):
fed clean, not being over medicated, all of that sort
of thing, most people that were allergic to cats no
longer are.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
They just go away, Wow, and you know, to go
off the subject of nutrition for a bit, and but
stay on the cat thing.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I wanted to know.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It just came to me, what's your opinion of the
hairless cats?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Another genetic wreck, that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Thinking that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
It was like, that's man mad science, Frankenstein stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Right, that's what it really is. Unfortunately, you know, we've
with all of our pets. We keep trying to you know,
we love the dogs, we love the cats, but let's
change them. What that made makes no sense to me
unless you were doing it for an economic reason, you know,
like when we breed cattle. Of course we're breeding dairy
(09:37):
cattle for melt, you know, it's one characteristic, you know,
beef cattle obviously we breed for heavy muscles, so we
get good steaks. That's a little bit different. That's a
lot different than you know, most of the dog and
cat breeds, especially cat breeds, because cats, really, except for
farm cats, you know and pharaohs that are keeping the
(09:59):
mouth population and rat population, the lizard population down, they
don't really have a functional job. I mean, what functional
job can a person cat really have? They can't. It's
lucky you can clean itself.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Well, let's talk about that a little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
What is the difference between the different cat breeds and
what their nutritional needs might be.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
That and you know, the basic needs are going to
be the same. But when again, when we look at
commercial foods, they're deficient to start with. So you know,
you take a long haired cat obviously needs more fatty acids,
you know, you aminos and stuff like that, and more
protein collagen to grow a good heavy coat. You know,
(10:49):
same thing with that. Animals that live in you know,
the more northern climates, you know, they're going to be
able to build that winter coat. So they need the
high amounts of good animal protein and to maintain that.
And you know, when we talk about fats, everybody thinks, well,
if I feed them too much fat, they're going to
get fat. No, they burn fat, they don't burn sugar
(11:09):
like we do. But yet commercial pet foods are nothing
but carbohydrates and sugar, and cats are very very addictive.
You know. That's that's one of the reasons why when
you try to switch the diet from X y Z
you have trouble. Cats are finicky, Well, they're not finicky,
they've been hooked on drugs basically. Yeah, yeah, that's the
(11:32):
synthetic sugars, you know, the aspartains and neotames, all of those,
and so each company has its own so that therefore
the cat will not accept a competitor's product.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Well, and to validate that point, my youngest daughters. I've
said before on the show, she has gotten big time
into cats recently and how's our house? And she's very
into researching what they can have, what she's like ocd
about what they can have, what they can't have. But
she does give them one thing that in a very
(12:04):
small amount. Did I watch these cats freak out when
they see it, like just freak out and that.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
And then eating it? Whipped cream?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
What is it in whipped cream as driving these cats nuts?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
It's the sugars. It's a synthetic sugars. They're addicted to it.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Huh, that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Cream is in whipped cream anymore? I mean, you know
most of the whipped cream supposedly on the market it
doesn't have any cream in it at all.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I know, right, that's weird. It was.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
It was like I saw and analysis on I think
it was Subway on their tuna subs and they tested
the tuna fish you know that they put on the
subs itself. There was zero percent of tuna, actual real
tuna in that slurry of whatever they put on there.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Wow, that's wild.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So what other sage advice can you give our listeners
about how they should be feeding their pets and what
they well their cats and what they should be doing
to have a healthy, long life for the cats and
stop giving them poison.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Well, the main thing is that feed them the poisonous
commercial foods. That's number one. Number two, that rotational diet,
so every day they're getting something different. It should always
be wet, it should never be dry. Do not leave
the dry food down there for them the munch on
and graze, because what you're really doing is upsetting the
whole that just a system. And the reason that they
(13:37):
you know, they have a tendency to graze a little
bit at a time is because they know that's not
what they're supposed to have. You know, they're just trying
to stay alive. And of course the other thing is
you know, environmental tops, you know, make sure you've got
good cleaning products, they are safe and you know, essentially
then you will have a healthy cat. You know. And
(14:00):
when you notice that something is off, correct it, then
don't run to the veterinarian because they don't know anything
except it's just going to make that body more toxic.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I say they should run to Bill at my Paleo
Pet that's.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
What I say.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
That's what I say too.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Would they how would they do that? Well?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
They can. They can contact me obviously through my Paleo Pet,
which is our retail store and our website for commercial stuff,
and the numbers are all up there on the website itself,
also through Pet Health Cafe, which is my podcast, educational
every single week, brand new episodes available twenty four to
(14:42):
seven on YouTube, and a number of other venues when
you go onto the website as well. On the my
Paleo Pet one there's also a media center for the
number of hundreds of magazine articles I've written over the
years on all of this, so you you've got the
topics there. And of course a lot of this also
extends on to the pet parents. That's an important thing.
(15:05):
If we don't keep the pet parents healthy, you know,
they don't have any understanding them and you know you
see it in their kids. You know, they just keep
getting fast food. That's what pet food is, fast food,
and they don't thrive. You know, cats should be living
twenty thirty even longer in a good state now where
if a cat hits like fifteen, they think it's a
(15:27):
major major accomplishment.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah, I know somebody in their cat just passed away
at seventeen and they're like, Wow, what long life the
cat had.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It's really not. That's really not a long life. And
you have to wonder, you know, because of the cat
foods and that sort of thing, how much of that
was what we were, you know, like an ultimate state
of health where they're not in pain, where they're not
you know, having digestive issues, you know, going blind, going death,
you know, all these things are all signs of toxicity.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah, yeah, totally. Well, you are a superhero for our
pets out there, and everybody's got to go check out
mypaleopet dot com, check out health Cafe, wealth of information.
Tune in next Monday on the Positively Pipemin segment of
the Adventures Pipe Man, where we will now switch gears
(16:20):
to dog nutrition and talk about that. Thank you for
listening to the Adventures of Pipemin on w for CUI Radio.
Hey, you love done to the censure? Wow for you you.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe
Man W four c Y Radio and this is our

Speaker 3 (00:56):
They just give their cats.
Speaker 2 (00:58):

stay on the cat thing.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I wanted to know.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It just came to me, what's your opinion of the
hairless cats?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Another genetic wreck, that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Thinking that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
It was like, that's man mad science, Frankenstein stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Right, that's what it really is. Unfortunately, you know, we've
with all of our pets. We keep trying to you know,
we love the dogs, we love the cats, but let's
change them. What that made makes no sense to me
unless you were doing it for an economic reason, you know,
like when we breed cattle. Of course we're breeding dairy
(09:37):
cattle for melt, you know, it's one characteristic, you know,
beef cattle obviously we breed for heavy muscles, so we
get good steaks. That's a little bit different. That's a
lot different than you know, most of the dog and
cat breeds, especially cat breeds, because cats, really, except for
farm cats, you know and pharaohs that are keeping the
(09:59):
mouth population and rat population, the lizard population down, they
don't really have a functional job. I mean, what functional
job can a person cat really have? They can't. It's
lucky you can clean itself.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Well, let's talk about that a little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
What is the difference between the different cat breeds and
what their nutritional needs might be.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
That and you know, the basic needs are going to
be the same. But when again, when we look at
commercial foods, they're deficient to start with. So you know,
you take a long haired cat obviously needs more fatty acids,
you know, you aminos and stuff like that, and more
protein collagen to grow a good heavy coat. You know,
(10:49):
same thing with that. Animals that live in you know,
the more northern climates, you know, they're going to be
able to build that winter coat. So they need the
high amounts of good animal protein and to maintain that.
And you know, when we talk about fats, everybody thinks, well,
if I feed them too much fat, they're going to
get fat. No, they burn fat, they don't burn sugar
(11:09):
like we do. But yet commercial pet foods are nothing
but carbohydrates and sugar, and cats are very very addictive.
You know. That's that's one of the reasons why when
you try to switch the diet from X y Z
you have trouble. Cats are finicky, Well, they're not finicky,
they've been hooked on drugs basically. Yeah, yeah, that's the
(11:32):
synthetic sugars, you know, the aspartains and neotames, all of those,
and so each company has its own so that therefore
the cat will not accept a competitor's product.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Well, and to validate that point, my youngest daughters. I've
said before on the show, she has gotten big time
into cats recently and how's our house? And she's very
into researching what they can have, what she's like ocd
about what they can have, what they can't have. But
she does give them one thing that in a very
(12:04):
small amount. Did I watch these cats freak out when
they see it, like just freak out and that.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
And then eating it? Whipped cream?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
What is it in whipped cream as driving these cats nuts?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
It's the sugars. It's a synthetic sugars. They're addicted to it.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Huh, that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Cream is in whipped cream anymore? I mean, you know
most of the whipped cream supposedly on the market it
doesn't have any cream in it at all.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I know, right, that's weird. It was.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
It was like I saw and analysis on I think
it was Subway on their tuna subs and they tested
the tuna fish you know that they put on the
subs itself. There was zero percent of tuna, actual real
tuna in that slurry of whatever they put on there.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Wow, that's wild.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So what other sage advice can you give our listeners
about how they should be feeding their pets and what
they well their cats and what they should be doing
to have a healthy, long life for the cats and
stop giving them poison.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Well, the main thing is that feed them the poisonous
commercial foods. That's number one. Number two, that rotational diet,
so every day they're getting something different. It should always
be wet, it should never be dry. Do not leave
the dry food down there for them the munch on
and graze, because what you're really doing is upsetting the
whole that just a system. And the reason that they
(13:37):
you know, they have a tendency to graze a little
bit at a time is because they know that's not
what they're supposed to have. You know, they're just trying
to stay alive. And of course the other thing is
you know, environmental tops, you know, make sure you've got
good cleaning products, they are safe and you know, essentially
then you will have a healthy cat. You know. And
(14:00):
when you notice that something is off, correct it, then
don't run to the veterinarian because they don't know anything
except it's just going to make that body more toxic.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I say they should run to Bill at my Paleo
Pet that's.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
What I say.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
That's what I say too.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Would they how would they do that? Well?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
They can. They can contact me obviously through my Paleo Pet,
which is our retail store and our website for commercial stuff,
and the numbers are all up there on the website itself,
also through Pet Health Cafe, which is my podcast, educational
every single week, brand new episodes available twenty four to
(14:42):
seven on YouTube, and a number of other venues when
you go onto the website as well. On the my
Paleo Pet one there's also a media center for the
number of hundreds of magazine articles I've written over the
years on all of this, so you you've got the
topics there. And of course a lot of this also
extends on to the pet parents. That's an important thing.
(15:05):
If we don't keep the pet parents healthy, you know,
they don't have any understanding them and you know you
see it in their kids. You know, they just keep
getting fast food. That's what pet food is, fast food,
and they don't thrive. You know, cats should be living
twenty thirty even longer in a good state now where
if a cat hits like fifteen, they think it's a
(15:27):
major major accomplishment.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah, I know somebody in their cat just passed away
at seventeen and they're like, Wow, what long life the
cat had.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It's really not. That's really not a long life. And
you have to wonder, you know, because of the cat
foods and that sort of thing, how much of that
was what we were, you know, like an ultimate state
of health where they're not in pain, where they're not
you know, having digestive issues, you know, going blind, going death,
you know, all these things are all signs of toxicity.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah, yeah, totally. Well, you are a superhero for our
pets out there, and everybody's got to go check out
mypaleopet dot com, check out health Cafe, wealth of information.
Tune in next Monday on the Positively Pipemin segment of
the Adventures Pipe Man, where we will now switch gears
(16:20):
to dog nutrition and talk about that. Thank you for
