Paul,
I for one believe you can take as many chances as you wish...just don't
promote them with your credentials. The notion of carnivore feces being OK
in your compost heap has a STRONG caution from those knowledgeable about
such practices. No matter how close family-wise you feel towards your cats,
you do not know where they have stepped or contacted parasites or diseases
that could infect others. Even if your cats are 'never' let outside on the
ground, I"ll bet that you can't rely on that 100%. The point here
is...don't take crazy chances. Especially, don't advocate procedures that
those that may not be as careful as even you may purport to be might follow
to their demise.
Also Paul, ultra-violet has nothing to do with heat per se. It is another
kind of reaction.
Sincerely,
Louis Mensing
