Thank you all! Bruce - good to know about the grind...we re-grind the local pre-made food we get (their grind is too course as well)...so if you have experience with this and it's "boney" then, I'll take you word for it and preemptively regrind.  In terms of muscle meat, what are you adding...

Wondering what others think of this: https://www.mypetcarnivore.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=50&virtuemart_category_id=2&lang=en Seems like the added hearts and gizzards should bring down the bone content...does this seem balanced for kitties to...

Well...she needs to be hungry.  Is she eating dry food on a meal fed schedule?  If not, make that switch first.  Start with 1/4 cup twice a day.  If the bowl is empty each time you go to feed and she isn't losing weight, you've got the right amount of food.  If she's losing weight, add more to...

I've been trying this for a while now and I've come to the conclusion that feeding raw is a big headache.  So many people say it's so easy once you get the hang of it...but...maybe I'm deficient because it's not getting any easier....have been feeding raw over a year now. I thought I had it all...

I have the heated cat cup - $49.99 I have SEVERAL of the heated pads from DrsFosterSmith.com, large AND small sizes. I have the $14.99 one from collections etc. Guess which one my elderly Kitty loves? Yep, the cheapest. I'm also Majorly bummed that the no longer carry that one. I would buy...

Some kittens are SO slow. Tre would clean and clean and clean himself...except he'd be cleaning his arm, face, stomach while he had chunks of poop stuck to his butt. He finally figured out proper grooming techniques...but it took a while. I don't think he was a REALLY good cleaner until...

It's funny that so many people mention the issue of deeper bowls and whiskers touching the sides. My cats don't like to see an empty spot in the bowl. If one part is empty, they seem to think there is no food. I did what a previous poster suggested. I bought a cone style bowl. Which is...

I don't know but it's REALLY annoying! I've been experiencing the same thing. The shredded chicken is my cats favorite too. I've been wondering what was going on with them. I've been buying the 4 packs, instead of the individual cans. The new 4 packs have 1 can of each flavor...

Ah, it won't really be a problem. My mom is the cat sitter. I was embarrassed when I showed her what to do, but...I know she'll do as I instructed. Almost wish that I had a hidden camera so that I can watch her go through this embarrassing process of doing everything these goons ask her to do.

Tre frequently sleeps on the linoleum floor near my garage door. It REALLY bothers me. We're all in the living room and he's in the other room on the hard floor. I think it's just his preference...so, I leave him be for the most part. I do make him accompany us to bed when it's time to...

Tre makes a sound that I swear is a bark. So...it's possible!

450g....so, about 15 ounces???? That's a LOT of food. Then again, at that age...they do tend to eat a lot. I remember when my kitties were little *sigh*, Tre was seriously ALWAYS on the rampage for more food. (actually, that hasn't changed too much). He would eat as much as I would let him...

Since you've had the chair for over a year and this just started...it's probably not the chair itself. Hmm...Can you try putting a scratching post or one of those cardboard scratching pads next to the chair? Is the noise the problem? Maybe try putting it next to the chair at first and then...

I'd just keep trying a variety of dishes. Put them near the plant and see if he decided that he likes another one of them. He may not like the current location of his water dish either. So, that one may be fine...it's just in the wrong spot. My Kitty always went through different...

I get my Feliway at Petsmart.com for $15.99 for a refill and $27.99 for the diffuser with a refill. I generally order enough to get free shipping and then anything I don't end up needed I can just return to the store. You shouldn't have to use it forever, you'll know you can quit buying it...

You can also call the local humane society or shelter. I know that in some places, they will put your pet up for adoption without you actually bringing it in, i.e. you keep it until they can find a home for it. You also might want to add something to your post here that lets people know where...

That's okay. My cats have trained me to spoon feed them their wet food. Luckily, I only have to feed them a few bites, then if I put the spoon in their dish, they keep eating. But if I take the spoon away, they stop. How am I going to explain THAT to the cat sitter coming later this week?

Clavamox? Kitty had clavamox last time she was really sick. What a pain. It causes her to foam at the mouth, apparently a common issue, according to my vet. I would put a towel on the floor. Put Kitty on the towel and then sit down behind her, with her body between my knees. Then with...

I think it's pretty standard for kittens that age to still have a few potty cleanliness issues. Although it sounds like they are a little behind (given the severity of the issue), which is most likely due to their sicknesses and the blindness. I'd give it time. They should grow out of this...

If it doesn't seem to be working, put the second box right where she's been pooping (in the bathroom). Then if she starts going in there. Slowly move it where you want it...over the course of several days/weeks.
