I've been feeding my 2 cats Natura Evo (weight mgmt and chicken/turkey formulas). I've also been supplementing canned Evo. Last week, after feeding some canned Evo, both cats got diarrhea. It's been about a week now! (They're still happy, active, etc..been giving natural remedies, pumpkin, plain yogurt to try to cure it) They have never had problems with it before. I spoke with the pet store employees, and they believe the formula was changed after P&G bought Evo. (Someone else's dogs, who never had problems with Evo before, suddenly got diarrhea, too.)
I'm certain the batches of dry cat food I have is just fine, but I will be switching to another brand when I run out...then comes the question:
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good, very low grain, high protein cat food? (Evo has really been helping control one of my cat's blood sugar levels...it's a shame they were bought out!)
Answer
Evo did that to our cats too, the dry and the canned. They absolutely refused to eat the canned Beef version as well.
Try any of these--
Indigo
Blue Buffalo
Wellness
Wellness Core
Royal Canin Siamese 38
Wysong Vitality
Prairie

Our diabetic cat did great on the RC Siamese 38 (dry) with Fancy Feast 'feasts' with no added gravy. The chart for food comparisons for diabetic cats is available online, just do a google search for Janet & Binkys Food and you'll find the comparison tables. We watched for high protein, low fat and low carb. He did really well with them.

Who actually realize that The Rock draw higher ratings than Austin for WWE+BQ?
Johny
During Austin's run Face of WWE in 1998-1999, he drew ratings 4,5 - 6,5. The only time rating peak into 7,2 during his run is Owen's memorial show.
On the other hand, when The Rock was Face of WWE in 2000, he drew ratings 5,0 - 6,8. And at some point, ratings can peak into 7,1 and 7,4.
BQ : How much can Ric Flair draw ratings for TV Show? Is he in the level of Rock and Austin??? Or can draw just 2,0-3,0 ratings like pre-Attitude Era and PG Era today??? Or even as low as TNA only 0,5-1,0???
Additional: And in 1998, during Austin's run ratings are mostly 4,5-4,8. It was just in 1999 when ratings peak into 5,0-6,5
But, during The Rock's run in 2000 most of the ratings are 5,5-6,5.
Answer
I don't pay much attention to TV ratings, and never have. But if we look at a comparison chart between RAW and Nitro we can analyze it and explain why The Rock "drew higher ratings" than Austin.
By the time WCW had acquired Eric Bischoff to re-make WCW (especially it's TV shows) the WWF had reached it's peak creative-wise and were stagnant. Bischoff, Hogan, and the nWo jolted WCW out of it's doldrums and ratings took off for WCW. WCW was building and promoting new stars such as Jericho and Eddie Guerrero, and enticing WWF stars to "jump ship" to WCW; the WWF was trying to maintain what they had with the stars they still had left.
The Montreal Screwjob created the ultimate evil corporate tyrant heel in Mr McMahon at the end of '97. Austin was just starting to become really big around that time, too. Their feud turned things around for the WWF and TV ratings started coming back up. BUT. WCW was beating the WWF in the ratings, consistently week after week. Austin vs McMahon was an awesome feud but the nWo shenanigans in WCW was the bigger ratings-grabber.
In mid '99 things started unraveling in WCW, with the fans starting to tire of the endless non-stop nWo, a lot of the WCW wrestlers tiring of the politics backstage and Hogan pushing only his friends and lackeys, with some of them leaving WCW to join the WWF. Ratings started dropping until the WWF finally regained the lead.
When The Rock was the big dog in the WWF WCW was on it's last legs until it finally melted down and self-destructed. And The Rock led a WWF that didn't have any opposition at all. The WWF also gained some viewers it didn't have before as WCW fans still wanted wrestling but WCW was no longer on TV.
The ratings don't tell the whole story here. The Austin-led WWF had WCW to contend with and the WWF lost. The Rock-led WWF didn't have any opposition and wrestling fans had no other choice. It was either the WWF or nothing at all.
BQ: I don't know what TV ratings Flair pulled in. Before the Attitude Era, TV wrestling shows only attracted wrestling fans and Flair was as big a ratings-draw as anybody has ever been. Georgia Championship Wrestling (before it was called WCW) drew bigger ratings when Flair appeared (as NWA World Champ he traveled the world so he wasn't a regular on TV every week).
But the inflated ratings the WWF and WCW drew during the Monday Night War was because of "bandwagon fans" jumping aboard to watch the fight between WCW and WWF, not because they were wrestling fans. After the War was over, the "bandwagon fans" got bored and left, and the ratings start falling until they leveled out in the 3.0 range where they normally stay for prime time network wrestling shows.
Flair in his prime in WCW and the WWF could have out-drawn Austin and The Rock. WCW screwed up big-time in not pushing Flair as the opposition to the nWo. Hogan wasn't about to let ANYBODY take ANY of his spotlight so he and Bischoff did everything they could to make Flair look old and useless (they also took Sting off of TV and changed his gimmick; and they squashed and buried just about every WCW wrestler on the roster). WCW fans (not "bandwagon fans") hated that. Vince was pretty good to Flair but he was pushing Austin and The Rock.
With the team of Flair and Sting opposing the nWo WCW could have had a better and more interesting show and they could have drawn even higher ratings in the War. But Hogan's ego and insecurity wouldn't allow that. Flair was always the bigger star in WCW, even after Hogan and Bischoff tried to make him look old and useless, so Hogan did everything he could to turn the fans against Flair. As a result WCW didn't use Flair in any positive capacity and just put him in idiotic storylines.
In Flair's prime he was one of wrestling's biggest draws ever. Easily on the same level as Austin and Rock.
