Sukie, did cat food in the seventies and early eighties have a vastly
different list of ingredients as today?  Particularly the first five
ingredients.  I was just wondering, because my ferrets sure were big and
healthy back then for being on such an "inadequate" diet.  What was the
protein content, etc?  I sure don't remember.  And did people back then
also give their ferrets meats, and scraps on top of it?  I didn't, but I
gave an array of treats through the day.  If the ferret wanted a lick of
my milk, etc, I let him.  I was nine, I didn't now any better.
 
I do remember a high amount of fitch mixed into many ferrets.  I forget
why, but my mother surely suspected it way back then in some of the
ferrets sold at cheaper prices in tiny petstores, and flea markets in
South Jersey.  I had forgotten all about that until you brought it up.
