There's good advice here, thank you. It comes down to finding ways to live with the allergy. I'm not sure I can convince my partner to do this and I'm not sure I can do it. It is my fault for bringing her into a home that had allergic people in it. I fell for the hypoallergenic pitch. Siberians...

I've had my Siberian kitten since last August 2014. I've always had allergies to cats and hoped it wouldn't be the case with her fur. I was wrong but mostly ignored it - I lived alone and just sort of put up with the red eyes, sneezing and waking up with water in my eyes. I trained her to sleep...

Ground raw is certainly better than no raw or canned, but it is well known that taurine content degrades with oxygen, which grinding exposes the meat to. Ground meat also tends to have supplements which are not necessary if you feed a complete raw diet. My cat eats about 5 to 9 ounces a day at...

It's great you are helping ferals but think of it this way: by letting him out unneutered you are just creating MORE ferals that may one day end up hurt or dead (as you say). Most cats will go outside if you let them.  Most will complain loudly if you do not comply.  But they all stop this if...

It's certainly better than feeding vegetables, agreed.  Cats have no use for vegetables. IMPORTANT if you really are only feeding your cat vegetables with meat/fish occasionally your cat will develop a taurine deficiency which is likely to cause nervous system damage.  Especially if you are...

Just keep your doors closed.  If you need to use your doors, pay attention to where he is and don't let him out.. you know he sneaks so you can keep an eye on him.

I have a 9 month old siberian now and am thinking about getting an F3 savannah for them to be friends. My girl is female and new kitty will be male. Need honest opinion on whether getting second cat is good for my first one and if my first kitty will be stressed out. She wants to play all the...

100 percent raw, not ground no kibble no wet is best. Should be appropriate diet with organs and bone as well. Lots of resources online.

You can also try feeding her by hand to get her comfortable with you and to learn that good things come from you.  You also want to play with her much more, that will get her moving around and also more comfortable with you.  How many play sessions do you have now?  If she is chasing a wand toy...

I've read that cats can start reacting to their hormones as early as 6 months.. despite some of the behavior getting worse now, I think it is impossible to distinguish what is caused by hormones and what is caused by something else.  On top of all that, you don't know how calm they will be once...

I would suggest feeding prey model raw instead of grinding and supplementing. There are many sites that have more info and I'm happy to help if you want to pm me. You can leave raw food out it'll only get dry and the cats don't seen to mind. 12 hours is not a problem you can just feed 2 meals...

I use to have one and it was fine. The kitty used it without issues but she is good about that. I took it out and put in a larger box because she was getting too big. If the space is large enough I would do it since it sounds like you know what you're doing with the high traffic areas. If you...

That's the cutest thing I've seen! I wish my kitty had a friend to cuddle with too.

That's cute. Some kitties just like water, the savannahs are most famous for that. Getting them to take a bath can still prove difficult though..

What a cutie!
