I'm pleased that you transitioned your older cats to raw food; it's never too late!  And I heart you about "gotta get as much kitty love" as possible. It is fine to mix wet food with raw food for cats.  Course the less wet...

I do think this is an e-vet situation. I'd call your vet back and stress the urgency of the situation.  If your vet can't see her, I'd call around until you find another vet who can see her.  And then change vets....

Welcome to The Cat Site.  And good for you for feeding them more wet food. A change in color, smell and sometimes consistency of poop is common with a change in diet. As long as the poop isn't too loose or smelly (as...

Sorry your cat isn't feeling well and is peeing at inappropriate places.  You must first rule out medical reasons.  How did the vet test the urine--there are several ways, one or two of which aren't real reliable. I'm...

Around two months ago, I put her on Prozac because I was doing all the other things recommended including:  feeding a natural (low preservative, additives) diet (I fed raw); use Feliway plug ins; she never has really liked to play...

Ritz--abandoned, lived on the streets for the first four to six months of her life--was an incredibly picky wet canned food eater.  But when I switched her to raw, that changed 100%:  she'll eat any kind of protein I put in...

Oh, Lily's Mom', don't beat yourself up for what you didn't know 13 years ago; you did the best you could with the information you had. Sometimes it really is Them, you You. I agree with the other posts, keep her in her own room,...
