I've been reading and reading all the links available on the forum regarding diets and nutrition, and to be honest, lots of info to digest and process. As I read, this is what I understand so far - I am going to put it succinctly in bullet type of form: 1. Raw is better than cooked, but even...

My relatives got a 3month old kitten and would like to provide the best care they can, but don't know much. So here are some questions: 1. Should a 2-3 month old kitten be allowed to eat however much she wants? And only once she reaches adulthood, will her menu be rationed to prevent extra...

He is overweight. We've been to the vet and he weighed in at about 14-15lb, but the vet said he should be about 10lb. So, there are 4-5lb to lose. I've read the articles here, but they weren't very helpful because they all recommend regular vet visits, vet monitoring and so on. Unfortunately...

Hello all, Question 1: Once in a while he poops outside his litter box. Granted it is not all the time, it happened several times for the past month, but don't want it to become a permanent problem. So, would like to stop it before it becomes a habit. The litter box is cleaned regularly...

Something just came up and we may have to drive with a cat, so need all advise I can get to make it as smooth for him as possible. 1) if we DO end up having to travel, it will be from CA to NY (not kidding - from West Coast to East Coast) 2) the little guy is a rescue, very sweet (knock on...

HI all, Being an absolute newbie, I've got questions about feeding a cat. 1) how many meals per day and how much per meal should a cat be fed? (don't know if it matters, but it's a regular size cat with short fur - sorry, being so new to this I don't know what info might be helpful). In the...

Hi all, As some of you might have read in the intro, I am very new to cats - my family rescued a sweet guy and now we have all sorts of questions. Here are my questions: 1. As a result of the abusive and unloving circumstances of this cat's previous place of living, he became used to sleeping...
