We are redoing the fireplace and painting so there's a lot going on that could be stressful. All the litter boxes are in the 2nd bedroom. It's only a 2 bedroom townhouse, so not very big. I was thinking of moving one into the laundry room. You have to pass through the kitchen to get to it though...

She last saw a vet around August of last year, maybe earlier. I've been through 3 moves and we finally moved to this townhouse in January. Last time she was in it was for a UTI. No blood work has been done in 3 plus years. Not sure exactly when since Mom has the paperwork for this...

Let me start off by saying this cat has always been a very picky eater and prone to UTIs. She's 14 years old now and the oldest out of the 3 I own. I switched her over to all wet food during the past year. She was eating fancy feast classics until recently when she decided she wasn't going to...

Thanks for all the advice! I ended up getting a stainless steel comb and a pin brush for her. Is there a specific way I should be brushing her teeth because her face is so flat?

An ace comb is plastic and it's not holding up to her chewing. :( This is a picture: I'm not planning to show her at this time (or more likely not at all), not even sure if she is show quality. I just want her to look her very best. :) She does have the temperment for it though, not scared of...

I'm wondering what the best comb is for a Persian cat. I have heard that the Chris Christensen and greyhound ones are both very good (someone also mentioned Liz Paul). I comb her daily and bathe her once a month. Right now I am using one of those cheapy $2 ace combs from Walgreen's, but she's...

Around the end of last year I purchased a purebred Persian. She is now 5 months old, but only weighs about 3 pounds. I'm wondering if I should expect her to get much bigger or not. Is it typical for Persians to be this small? Is it safe to get her spayed at this weight (vet said we could discuss...

Thanks again for the helpful advice! Are the primal grinds and/or mixes the same for dogs and cats? What about Bravo Baiscs? I'm just thinking if they are the same and I have so many dog stores around me maybe I can get it that way and then try adding a pre-mix for cats as a start. Also price...

Still sounds promising. The problem I've been running into at the pet stores is that they only sell frozen stuff for dogs. I have been shopping here: http://www.krisers.com/ Since they are the only ones that I know of so far that carry a wide variety of cat food, even their selection I sometimes...

I didn't realize they took requests. I'll look into that. Thanks!

So far with shipping charges added, it looks like I am better off with commercial (used hare today and pet food direct for chubs). Unless, I can find a local source. Do any chain stores carry raw meat that's antibiotic free, etc.? Maybe whole foods?

I'm in IL, if that helps. It seems like I need to look into pricing, I think that will be the determining factor. So adding a premix to meat from Hare Today or a chub would be a complete diet? I'm thinking that might be a good place to start or maybe I can find the balanced diets cheaper...

Hi again! I'm looking for some advice on feeding commercial raw. I wanted to try making my own raw food, but my husband won't hear of it. He doesn't like me spending an hour or more in the kitchen for the cats and would rather spend the extra money. Is there a way to do this and cut down on the...
