    Cat food!!! That's funny. Cat food does have a lot of protein in it because of the Fish. If you feed less than <10% treats, your girls are fine. Make sure they have Free grit such as oyster shell. It sounds like your doing everything right. Now, you have to FIX and heal that Bumble Foot ASAP. My...
