    New Ways to Entertain My Intelligent Cat?

    Yeah. He was neutered before I adopted him.

    Anal glands?

    So I was grooming my cat today. Brushing his belly. All of a sudden he spattered out some brown fluid from his bum. I'm not sure if this is normal. He's on a raw/wet food diet. I brought him to the vet earlier today to take care of his recent eye infection flare up (he has feline herpes). He's a...

    New Ways to Entertain My Intelligent Cat?

    Hey guys. I've got a playful, food motivated, intelligent orange tabby boy turning 1 year old this April. :-) He's an awesome guy. I was wondering if anyone had experience with a cat that regularly seeks new stimulation---he tires of his multiple toys--from da' bird to a whack a mouse game to...

    How do get my cat more comforable being outside on his harness?

    He's used to the harness. I'm not letting him freely roam. I just want to be able to make him more confident outside with the harness.

    How do get my cat more comforable being outside on his harness?

    Hi there! My cat Wally is about 11 months old and is terrified of being outside. It does vary. Last summer he enjoyed being outside on his harness so long as it was warm, not too windy, no noise (lawn mowers), and a limit of a couple meters away from the house. It's been warmer out lately, so...

    Are my male cats nipples looking normal?

    So I had a Seresto flea collar on my cat and he was scratching because of it. I've since taken it off. He doesn't have fleas. It was more of a preventative thing. I've since taken it off ( it was on him for two days). He scratched a bit of fur off his face. And I noticed today he's missing a bit...

    I've read all of the articles and would like to start feeding fresh raw!

    Right I understand that, but with vitamin B complex it's a mixture of different vitamin B types. Unlike a bottle of say, vitamin B 12, it doesn't give you a certain amount of milligrams. Instead, it may say "300 mg of B13, 200 mg of B4,".., etc. This tells me that I would have to empty the...

    I've read all of the articles and would like to start feeding fresh raw!

    How much of the Vitamin B Complex do you use per 5 lbs batches? I'm confused as to how much I should be using! Do I weigh it out?

    Hmm ok! How many eggshells do you grind at a time? Also, I regularly bake eggs--can I just use the shells of these as I eat them? Haha

    I've read all of the articles and would like to start feeding fresh raw!

    Thanks for the response! How do you make the eggshell powder? And do you feed any sort of raw bone for dental health? Yeah I'm going back to hare-today. My pet carnivore shipping costs are astronomical. They ship it to a nearby gas station near me so I have to go pick it up if I buy there! They...

    I've read all of the articles and would like to start feeding fresh raw!

    I'm aware of the mixed supplements. However, id prefer to make it myself. I currently buy rad cat raw food from an independent pet food store. It costs 10-14 dollars for 1.5 lbs. If I order online from the website I mentioned, the same amount of meat would cost me around around 1/4 of that price.

    I've read all of the articles and would like to start feeding fresh raw!

    Ok so I saw hare-today. There's also a site mentioned by Feline-nutrition.org called mypetcarnivore.com. It's based in Indiana, and is quite a bit cheaper than hare-today. Also closer, so I'm assuming it'll be less shipping. Also comes in fine-ground option for cats and puppies. Can you tell me...

    I've read all of the articles and would like to start feeding fresh raw!

    I have a number of questions, but let me first tell you what my male orange tabby, Wally, of 10 months is currently eating. 1. Fussie cat chicken and chicken liver canned. 1 can (2.82) @ 42 cal per day. 2. Party Animal Tom Cat Turkey canned. Half a can (2.75 oz) @ 72 cal per day. 3. Rad Cat Raw...

    Seasoned Declawed Bengal Cat

    Haha. When I first got my Wally, he was being fed Royal Canin wet and dry. He had diarrhea every single day. Once I switched him to a grain free food (Wellness Core initially because it's widely available) the diarrhea stopped within a few short days. Cats are obligate carnivores, unlike dogs...

    Seasoned Declawed Bengal Cat

    Does she enjoy play time? I bought my cat a hexbug nano cat toy. It runs around on a hardwood floor and can turn over if he bats it on its back. I turn on youtube squirrel videos every night for my cat. Catnip is nice for them too. Buying or building a cat tree that has platforms she can easily...

    How much should I be feeding my cat at ~8-9 months old?

    I did start feeding him fussie cat (chicken with chicken liver). Definitely not what he was used to. As it's basicly solid shredded chicken in a broth (he's used to pate and looser pate) But within a few days of mixing it in with his other food, he loves the stuff! At less than 15 calories per...
