I wouldn't say bacon and eggs was totally abnormal for a cat.
bacon is full of salt, but its still meat.
Eggs are recommended, especially following operations. Our cat was neutered a couple of weeks back and we were told that following the op she should eat scrambled eggs. and that she may not feel like eating anything but scrambled eggs for a few days. When I asked 'wtf? scrambled eggs for a cat'?!' I was told that its actually really good for them. Which sounded odd to me, surely cats should only eat meat (and maybe veg). Same vet actually told me off for giving her milk as a treat, as apparently it knacks their tummies
So not sure if vet was just being weird or what but I listened to her. Cat did go back onto normal catfood day after operation though. Shes fully recovered now, if anyones wondering
Went a bit off on one there. But I thought cats only lived til like 10. Not ****ing 40 :S
I know 38 was the oldest living cat, not normal age. But...if a cats usual life is 15...then one being 38..well. Its like over twice the usual expectancy. Apparently the average age of a human is 79. So that cat is the equivalent of a human reaching 200!
