    Switching to Raw - Picky Eater NIGHTMARE

    Good call out in going slow. Tonight I tried mixing a tsp of raw with 2 tbsp of her regular wet and she ate most of it! Gotta love cats with expensive taste.

    Switching to Raw - Picky Eater NIGHTMARE

    She was on fishy food (Weurva mackerel & chicken) I think it's also texture she turns her nose up at pate and raw food is basically pate. I've never heard of churu or tiki sticks I'll have to give them a shot.

    Switching to Raw - Picky Eater NIGHTMARE

    Hello there, I'm in the process of switching my cats to a partially raw diet. We are still putting some kibbles down during the day (not a lot. We picked up a commercial version (Savage) just to make sure I wasn't going to spend hundreds of dollars just to beat my head against a wall. Well...

    Question about food transition

    We have been feeding our four cats, ages 9mo - 3 years, Costco (Kirkland) cat food. They all love it buuuut they started getting chunky. I consulted my vet and she said there is nothing wrong with the Kirkland food but its cheap and you get what you pay for, high carb and filler low on the...

    Naping in the litter box

    She doesn't like cardboard boxes which is weird. But I ordered a large cat house / box off Amazon maybe she'll take to that.

    Naping in the litter box

    Hi there! My 15 month old tabby girl cat has always had a love for her litter box. Since she was a baby she would roll in fresh litter, dig in the box for no reason, and nap in it. The vet told me this is pretty normal for kittens. Well as she has gotten older she's not "dust bathing" as much...

    Help! Cat diarrhea after food change

    Good news, 24 hours later and the diarrhea is 100% cleared up. No probiotics or other addins required, just putting him on the old food. Hooray! I'll keep his diet steady for a few more days before considering a food change. We are also due for our annual check up so I'll talk to the vet about...

    Help! Cat diarrhea after food change

    No food changes before itchiness. Having said that our Minion cat (who has passed as of Wednesday RIP) was on a whatever he wanted diet since we knew he had only a week or so left and Nandor may have gotten a hold of stuff. I contacted his rescue too and the gal said San Diego has very high...

    Help please!

    If it's clean and dry I'd just let it heal. Maybe use a warm damp cloth to clean any litter from it and give it a few days. If it won't heal calm your vet.

    Help! Cat diarrhea after food change

    My kitten (7 months old) was having a really intense itching reaction after eating his wet food so I changed brands suddenly. I know WORST idea, but I was so worried about the itching. It's been 3 days and he now has full blown diarrhea. I have some of his old food left over should I try mixing...

    How to feed my kittens

    We just started our seniors on wet food, one has a completely rotten tooth (which is getting pulled in a few weeks) so it's the only thing she can eat. We tried to stop free feeding and our old man stopped eating (he's a jerk) BUT good thing is we do feed them wet food. Unfortunately those...

    How to feed my kittens

    Nice to meet you! Glad you asked about the vet, I forgot to mention it, during our wellness exam she did recommend some wet food since I can't get them on kitten formula dry food, but begged me not to use any fish flavors. She advised in her experience it's the #1 cause for cats rejecting food...

We have adult dry food (Canidae Ancient formula) all day and I'm feeding them Petco Whole Hearted kitten food in the evening. But I'm not sure how much wet food I should offer given they have...

    Good news the bump is 100% gone. So that's 27 days post vaccination for it was resolved. It took about 10 days for me to notice it and about double for it to go away. I share this so if anyone searches for help they see the timeline. My vet confirmed that this not an uncommon reaction and I...

    Lump on kittens leg

    Thank you for all the advice! This was on vets orders she recommended the liquid but we can only find it in flavored syrups and Nandor was having NONE of it. Called back to the vet and she also said 1/4 or a tablet every 12 hours for 48 hours and try to sneak it in food. He sniffed the pill out...

    Lump on kittens leg

    Nandor's vitals came back great and the vet catagorized him as a vaccine reactor. He got a dose of benadryl and we are going to monitor for a few weeks for any changes. Vet does not think it's an abscess and while ISS can happen she hasn't expressed immediate concern. She said everything says...

    Lump on kittens leg

    Some good news, I checked Nandor's (that's my kitto's name) leg after work and there is a noticable shrinkage in the lump!! (I had my roommate check it too just to make sure it wasn't just wishful thinking) Going to hold the vet appointment until tomorrow morning and see if there is continued...
