I was wondering why there aren't many threads on making cooked cat foods, I recently read "The Whole Pet Diet" by Andi Brown, forward by Richard Pitcairn. I then started making the chicken stew for my girl who won't eat raw. It is simple to make, is cheaper then a good canned, and my girl...
I forgot to mention, others things that might have made the process easier was I pilled them when they were really hungry, and I made them exercise beforehand. I thought maybe the hunt would get them ready to swallow big chunks of gelatin.
You might consider giving Baycox in case he has coccidia, you only have to give it once and it kills the parasite. I put my 2 kittens who had coccidia on albon for 28 days which didn't work so I then tried baycox. The first two times I tried it at the recommended dose didn't work so I doubled...
I recently had to give baycox to my cats, which is a liquid med that my cats absolutely hated. I decided to put the liquid in pills and it worked great. What helped was I fed them a bit of food with gravy prior to pilling and I coated the pill in gravy. After the second or third pill even my...
I found giving them a bit of food with gravy seems to coat their throat and gets them ready to swallow a pill. I also coat the pill in the gravy or butter.
I had problems with coccidia as well. I treated my kittens with albon for 28 days, after about a week their diarrhea came back. I then treated them with baycox which is suppose to kill the parasite, after each of the first two treatments I thought it worked but the diarrhea came back, I then...
Here's a great site for making cat food, and most of the supplements can be purchased at any vitamin store, I wouldn't spend the extra money to get a premix.

I fed it to my cats for a bit, they didn't like it too much. They prefer Nature's Variety Raw and their favorite is homemade raw. When I was feeding it, I kept two in the refrigerator, one defrosted and one defrosting. To serve, I'd just pull down the plastic a bit, cut up how much they'd eat...
I flush the solids down the toilet, and I put the pee clumps in a step-on biohazard trash can, which barely smells even after a week with 4 cat. I don't think it has to be a biohazard trash can but they'll last a lifetime and won't tip over. And I use Dr Elsey Precious cat which seems to...
I usually get rid of the guard, for these since I couldn't I just bent the guard a bit and turned it so it would fit tightly against one of the handles.
I just tried these, they cut much better then my other 3 scissor type clippers, and it was much easier to do because my cats didn't feel the cutting as much. On the negative side, these aren't the most comfortable and the grips come off too easily, I'll have to tape those on. Thanks for the tip
If I remember correctly, Frest Results is just like Nature's Miracle which is pelleted like large grains of sand. I found it tracks more then the usually litter and had a strong smell which bothered me. Have you tried Swheat Scoop? It doesn't clump as well as WB and is a bit sticky but isn't...
