Thank you. Nice of you to say.

i know this is a bit out of the topic - but do any of you cat people out there have contacts to Santa Fe, NM? I'm looking for a cat sitter in Santa Fe, who's a true cat person and will be on top of the demands of their raw diet. shot in the dark, but it's amazing how hard it is to find this, so...

oh thank you! i feel better now.

It was straight pumpkin, which I've often used successfully for diarrhea. Interesting it helps either way. And despite my discomfort with miralax, because propylene glycol being 'foreign to the body is a toxin', I went ahead and got some today, because I couldn't get ahold of guar gum to try...

Oh i know, it's so much to take in! And strangely, I had read that and f dismissed it/forgot it  because I have only one cat that needs to lose weight and one that doesn't, so I'd decided to just give her less. I thought when I read that other person's comment that they were saying Dr. Pierson...

Thank you. That part I'd found. I was wondering about the skin removal.

Thank you again! I seem to have missed that part completely, about removing the skin (50%). Mind pointing me to that in her site? Just wondering how i missed it.  You've been very helpful. I appreciate it.

Thanks so much. Any idea how much with the skin left on? And curious why you remove it...

I found what I was looking for regarding the removal of a % of bone. That's 25% of the chicken thighs. Still seeking calories per oz.

I'm following Dr. Pierson's recipe for homemade cat food using chicken thighs. I notice she says to count calories not just ounces, and gives alot of info on canned cat food as to calories per oz, but nowhere mentions how many calories per oz. her recipe is. No disrespect. She's done an...

Just wondering what made it "too abrupt" a tranistion. Was there any connection to stress-induced UTIs and the transition?

Hi, I know, it's stressful. I've been giving my cats wet food along with raw, until I can get a meat grinder and do the raw myself. For now, it's commercial raw and wet, and i have a cat who almost always pees just once a day, but it's a giant clump.  While I think it's fine, I can't tell you...

Is anyone using Dr. Pierson's recipe for partially cooked homemade cat food? I see that she cooks it some so she can leave it out "longer", but I don't see anywhere, how long it's safe to leave out. I also saw that "free-feeds", but maybe that was back when she was doing wet food. I couldn't tell.  

Good to know. How'd you find out he was allergic to chicken?

My cat's neck and chest were greasy. I put her on a raw food diet, and it's going away! She's suddenly very perky, too. And no stink to the poop. Can't say anything bad about this switch in diet. And can say plenty bad about the dry food (for sensitive stomach and skin, no less - gave her...
