After much fiddling with different dry cat food brands, including some über expense brands, I have decided to go with ProPlan. Some snobs may tell you that it’s not as good as raw or specialty brands but they’re a pain to find and cost 4x as much. Cats are primarily carnivores and require lots of protein for good health. In fact some experts say cats can’t process fillers (carbs) hardly at all. So at the end of the day I made by decision based on the ingredients. ProPlan has far and away the most protein (40%) per serving than the other dry foods at PetSmart. No marketing or fancy packaging needed to make this call.

Littermaid has never really had what I would call and enviable track record when it comes to customer satisfaction. It pretty much be summed up as the lesser of all evils. Six months ago I thought this was about to change with the release of this newly engineered model. Fast-forward to today when my wife explains, “this thing is more pathetic than the last one.” It seems others think the same way.

Forgiveness is between them and God. It’s my job to arrange the meeting.

Back at the SAAB dealer, again. This time they are fixing a broken button on the steering wheel and replacing the speaker clips in the doors. That should fix the ‘bass rattle’ issue.

On the way here an ominous warning message came on: “Steering lock malfunction, make a safe stop and contact SAAB Dealer.” Of course they will have to fix this some other time.

Don’t get me wrong. I love my car and love this dealership in all its Swedish goodness.
