Even cheese she has a preference, she'd eat black diamond but not...

    Kittens and raw chicken

    agree, i won't keep meat in the fridge for more than 2 days. and remember don't slice the meat until you serve it, the smaller you slice it, the faster it goes bad becuz of surface area. When you just starting out with meat, you can cut the meat as small as you want. If you include bones...

    How do I get a urine sample? Needed SOON!

    You can try using fish tank gravel as litter, it will not absorb the urine, so you can tip the litter box and pour the urine into a container and bring it to the vet.
