    The multicat household- All males, all females or a mix?

    I had 3 cats, 2 girls and a boy. Almost 2 months ago now, sadly the boy, Simba, passed away suddenly from heart problems. Shiloh, the younger girl was bonded with him and misses him. Mocha, the other girl, would hiss and swat at him, but never do that to Shiloh, even though they aren't good...

    For the last 3 years, I have been feeding our 3 adult cats a raw meat (beef and sometimes chicken legs and thighs) diet, which includes 50% cooked chicken livers and sometimes chicken hearts (they don't like these raw) mixed with grain-free canned food.

    Solutions to dirty butt

    I have an 8 year old long-haired female kitty who doesn't have a "will not" problem (stands for "will not come off"). Her problem is that she dribbles a drop or two of pee on her long fur and doesn't clean it because her big belly gets in the way. So dried pee is clumped up very close to her...
