My kitty is 13 1/2, so I am with you on that one. I don't have all the furballs I used to have and have decided that once Miss Mika "Moo" is gone, that is it for me. As much as I love cats and dogs, I won't be getting any more.
I don't use minute rice. Never have, though I have tried five minute rice and did not like it. The texture was like plastic. Parboiled rice is not minute rice (despite some remarks made here). It still takes about 20 minutes to cook if you are cooking it alone on top the stove.

Why does parboiled have to be enriched?
Also, how long do cats live?
I thought cats were like goldfish and didn't have a long life span, but my daughter said something crazy like 20 years? I said that's impossible! I cannot have these cats around for 20 years!

I don't know why any rice needs to be enriched, whether it is regular white rice or parboiled. I don't know what the enrichment process is either... but now that you mention it, I am curious.
The oldest cat is 26 years old. The last "oldest cat alive" was in its 30's when it died. Average indoor cat lifespan is between 12 and 20 years.
Aren't you glad you didn't get tortoises?

I'm wondering how Ferd knows what cat food tastes like. I'm also wondering what brand and flavor of cat food he is comparing parboiled rice to. I know I certainly don't feed my cat the junk you can get at the grocery store and I know some people who cook for and raw feed their cats.

My youngest daughter bought the kitten Fancy Feast, and that stuff smells like a mile of "Get Back."
That kitten gobbled it up though.

My kitty is a picky old lady. Not sure if she would touch Fancy Feast, though she loves their Broth treats. I feed her Earthborn Holistic. Right now I have two bags of it -- Primitive Feline, which is mostly turkey and chicken, and Wild Sea Catch, which is the seafood one. Guess which one the cat who was rescued in a fishing community prefers... Yep... Seafood.

In short it means they destroy the food's nutritional value and then add vitamins back into it by an artificial process.

Yeah, wait till a baby tortoise gets stuck somewhere, and they drag that thing home!
No, no, no, no, no, no, and NO!

I feed them dry food and they eat it all up like it was chocolate covered cherries.

You can always leave provisions for the tortoise that outlives you in your will. Bequeath the thing to the kids and your grandchildren. LOL
