About a month ago, I posted asking for some help and guidance on getting my cats on a healthier diet, and then I kind of disappeared (sorry!). I've been working on getting my cats transitioned, I think I'd like for them to go 100% raw eventually but here's where we are today: I've been mixing...

Thank you so much! That was very informative! I could add the Hare today supplement to the chicken base I posted earlier yes?  The local group list serv I'm reading has a cat food recipe that that base was made for.  Their recipe is basically that chicken base, water, egg yolks, fish oil, husk...

Hi I have 3 cats I'm wanting to transition to a RAW diet.  My cats are 7 years, 6 years and 3 months.  My 7 year old female has a history of FLUTD and everyone (except the kitten) is currently eating the Prescription U/R kibble with varied canned food.  I'm getting everyone switched over to...

Hi! My big reservation with switching to raw is my fear of doing it wrong.  I'm working on researching it and want to make sure I'm doing it right.  I really need some sort of feeding guide to follow (something like feed this much of this food).  Also I'm worried about getting everyone to eat...

Hi I currently have 3 cats: Tora, Tigger and a new kitten Waffles.  Tora has FLUTD and has been on the prescription food for about a year.  She's currently eating UR kibble and rotating canned food (so 50/50 dry to canned right now).   Every time I've tried to switch her to a better quality...

#17 is wrong because ostriches don't stick their heads in the sand ever.

Hi All My male cat Tigger is about 4 years old. I've had him since a kitten. He has been a chronic vomiter since he was little and recently diagonsed with IBD. We've tried several medications and diets but nothing seemed to work. I finally seem to have found a balance that works. He is...

The dollar store has a very reliable pregnancy test. If you are worried about pregnancy, and you have a dollar store around check it out. A couple dollars could buy you some peace of mind. Good luck

Program is a vet prescribed medication, like Revolution and Frontline. My vet carries it and recommended it to me when I mentioned the problems I had with the top spot products, was just looking for other peoples experiences, if any. Thank you though, I will look at Revolution as well

Hi I tried searching the forum and wasn't able to find much recent information on this product. My 2 cats are indoors only and we do not currently have a flea infestation but fleas are a pretty serious problem where I live. We recently got a dog and I worry that fleas will be more of risk now...

i really like http://forum.goodpaws.org/ it's a great site, been around awhile but membership has been dwindling. Could really use some new members. Lots and lots of experience and knowledge and a good board for all animal issues but especially dogs.

My cat Tora fetches certain toys when she's in the mood. Both kitties jump through a hoop on command, sit up, spin, target, touch an object with their paws, crate up and sit on a scale on command. We're working on meowing on command and rolling over. Yes, I really do spend time training my...

Thank you everyone, you've helped me immensely. We're considering getting an Aussie or Border Collie or mix of those breeds. I've grown up with those breeds and spent a lot of time with them. My husband wants a shih tzu so we will probably get one of those also in the future. We want an older...

My two cats are clicker trained You can train anything with positive reinforcement and operant conditioning. I've trained alligators, chickens, possums, bats, cats, dogs, horses, cows and monkeys with operant conditioning. Something to keep in mind is that the noise from the clicker might...

You can show me 100 "facts" about how big cat ownership is beneficial to conservation and I can show you 100 "facts" about why big cat ownership is detrimental to conservation. There is good solid research about this but the truth of the matter is, everything will boil to down to biased opinion...

I have a close bond wiht all the animals I work with at the zoo and the sanctuary, but I respect the animals for what they are and what they are meant to be. I don't enter their homes and I don't treat them like pets because that is not what they are. My animals know who I am and enjoy...

Thank you! I don't plan on leaving her unattended. We have a beautiful deck and I want to sit outside with her but not have to follow 6 feet behind her all the time. I think we're going to order one for the crazy cat and see how she does
