https://www.knowbetterpetfood.com/cat_food_u-stew This is interesting, a pre-mix of the vitamins and minerals and then you choose the protein to mix it - cooked. Looks like the recipe is 1/2 cup of U-stew to 2 lbs of meat and 1.5 cups of water. The company also has a powder for raw diets. The...

My house apparently has a sign on it that only stray/feral cats can read. Probably the parade of stray cats who came before.... Now I see two young cats, I'm thinking litter mates who are coming to my deck. They look to be about the same age and I bet they were born this past Spring.  One is...

I've looked at some reviews for Hound and Gatos and can well imagine my cats also walking away from their dishes. I'm always on the look out for new types of canned food to rotate in, but I'm not thrilled about ordering a case of this type of food if the cats won't eat it. In this area we have...

Boo the rescue cat has been inside with us for 9 weeks. After some deep growling and confrontational hissing from the long-term residents (and him in response) the residents have taken to ignoring him unless they are in his path. Then they growl hiss and scamper away.  Then they re-appear and...

Simone, who recently turned 6, has had this spot on her neck that is completely free of fur. I don't notice it most of the time but it becomes more visible when she is curled up to sleep. I had wondered if it was an injection site alopecia (baldness). When she was a kitten, there was a patch of...

Boo is climbing the chair and sitting in the window no problem. He goes up and down the stairs and has no indication of an uneven gate at all. He swishes his tail like a master. However, he's got a stubborn issue with constipation still. I've been doing the miralax thing and then cut back to...

Boo the rescue cat is in week 7 of his recovery. He's been by himself in a downstairs room the whole time with a couple of trips up the stairs (at his own initiative). He's explored all of downstairs and a few of the resident cats have cautiously stood in the hall and looked at him. Boo pretty...

So Boo has been in his bedroom for 6 weeks now. He's pretty much recovered from his broken pelvis and has been neutered, vaccinated and chipped. A couple of the cats go down and watch him in the room (now with the door ajar) and he watches them. He's tried to come upstairs a few times but Etta...

So Boo the stray cat that arrived on my deck with a broken pelvis has finished his 3rd week of quiet time recovery. It will be 4 weeks next weekend! He seems to have settled into a routine of rest in his little room and selects either his purr pad by the closet door or the purr pad underneath...

Hello; I took in a stray kitty that was injured. A couple of vet appointments later, he has a fractured pelvis. The prognosis is good, but he stays in a small room with a soft purr pad to encourage couch potato-ness so he heals.  From the injury he became constipated. The main vet thought it was...

My oldest cat Estelle is very overweight. We adopted her that way and it is very difficult to keep her weight lower. Someone had declawed her and when she arrived she seemed to be tender footed. That stopped after a year but I believe it's always affected her confidence and willingness to play...

Soon, I'll be taking away all the food, sweeping the floor for errant nibbles and closing all the bags of food tight. Then preparing for a night of complaining other cats.

Simone the kitten will be 4 months old in a couple of weeks and so I thought I'd get some Royal Canin Kitten to start mixing in with the Baby cat. I was surprised that the ingredients seemed significantly different at the top. Baby cat: Ingredients: Chicken meal, rice, brown rice, chicken fat...

Simone the kitten had her second set of distemper shots yesterday. Her first shots resulted in a couple of days of extreme sleepiness. So this time the vet gave her a shot of benedryl and a shot of a steroid first. In her opinion, the reaction to the first shot was a problem. Apparently, if a...

I really hate it that cats get groggy after the vaccinations. My kitten Simone had her first vaccination today. She just gave her the combo that covers for FIP and I forget what else. Simone is too little for the Rabies vaccine and the vet isn't enthused about the Feline Leukemia shot if a cat...

Simone the kitten is like a velociraptor. She runs at full speed, launching herself into the air and landing like velcro on my leg. Then she climbs up to my shoulder. This often hurts. She has these tufts of fur on her head, just below her ears that remind me of those hissing,running...

First shots for kitten. My young kitten Simone is now about 7 weeks old. I have to go out of town for 10 days to care for my mom who broke her shin (she's doing well) My fella will be home with the kitties, and I wondered if it would be too long to wait until I got back for her first set of...

I go back to work tomorrow after a nice week off. My kitten has nicely increased her weight and size. Now she's probably between 6-7 weeks old and about 1 lb 4 oz. The trouble is in leaving her food to eat while we are at work. She shows zero interest in the baby cat dry food. And if I leave it...

Great news at the vet today. Simone is free of FeLV so I took down the Great Wall of Living Room. She has free reign now in my baby proofed house. Of course she's sound asleep on the couch and has no idea of the freedom that awaits her. She's doubled her weight in 2 weeks. So she went from...

Has anyone had a kitten that initially tested negative for feline leukemia and then positive for it later? Two weeks ago, the fella brought home a new kitten (without my knowledge or consent) The woman who had the kittens said that she needed to find homes for the "7 week old kittens" because...
