    At a loss and need some advice

    I began feeding my two 100% raw January 1st.  All had been going very well until about a week ago.  I had noticed one of my two cats slowly needing more and more toppers to eat any of her raw, unless it was plain meat only (no calcium supp).  Well, Thursday night I got home and realized she had...

    Bone %'s in Whole Ground Prey?

    I have searched everywhere for this and can't find it, so I apologize if it's buried in another post somewhere.  I couldn't even find it on a google search and I'm usually good about finding these things! Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone knows what the average percentage of bone is in various...

    Vomiting from feeding digestive enzymes?

    Now that I'm transitioning my girls over to a raw diet, I thought it might be best to start introducing some digestive enzymes to ensure a smooth transition.  They've actually been eating raw for about 2 weeks (with lots of toppers since they're still not 100% sure ) and one of them (Allie) has...

    Best litter for asthmatic cats

    I tried searching but there is a lot of scattered info on this topic so I wanted to just ask straight out. If you have an asthmatic cat, what litter do you prefer and why? I have a newly diagnosed cat and I'm trying to figure out what our options are. Thanks in advance!

    Suddenly no longer covering up in litter box

    My 2.5 year old has always been immaculate when it comes to tidying up the litter box, until about a week ago. Now she has suddenly stopped covering up anything. My older cat never covers anything, but they have lived together now for over 2 years so that shouldn't be a new learned behavior...

    Suggestions for CRF cat not eating food, only treats!

    Aussie has been getting slightly worse over the last few weeks. I've already talked to the vet and she'll be getting her bloodwork done again on Saturday to make sure nothing new is going on, but I'm pretty sure this is primarily nausea related. She's been going through cycles where she'll eat...

    Long-lasting cat grass?

    Is there a variety that is safe for cats to eat and lasts a while? I get so tired of either buying them every week or trying to grow my own which seems like a lot of work for such a little time for them to enjoy it. I'm looking for some other alternatives and have yet to find anything. Thanks!

    Help with Sub-Q's and Aggressive Cat

    Aussie is not doing well and is in the late stages of CRF. As a result, she now requires very frequent sub-q's. The problem is that she does NOT handle them well so I'm hoping someone here has a tip that will help until the restraint bag I bought arrives next week. Here is what I've tried so...

    Aussie's gorgeous eyes!

    Aussie's eyes have always been my favorite feature of hers. Unfortunately, I've never been able to take a great picture to really capture the color until today. I borrowed my BF's very nice digital camera so I took this when she was outside with me this morning. Her eye color reminds me of...

    Aussie Update - Still Having Problems (Bladder Stones)

    Just to recap, Aussie had bladder surgery a month ago to remove a ton of calcium oxalate stones that were just ripping up her bladder. Since then, she has been doing okay but continued to have a slight tinge to her urine, at least that's what it looked like to me. Well, things have taken a...

    Cat Catcher Mouse Refill for Da Bird Wand

    OMG! What is this thing made out of? I opened one up last night for my aby and, after finally figured out to hook it on by the ring in the nose , she went absolutely crazy. And I don't mean the cute jumping all over the place crazy, but mad crazy. She grabbed it and tried walking off with it...

    Vibes for Aussie's Ultrasound Tomorrow

    Hi everyone. I could use some vibes/prayers for Aussie's ultrasound tomorrow. We're scanning her to rule out bladder cancer. I know that bladder cancer is very rare in cats, but I just have a bad feeling about it which is why I insisted on the scan. She's had an enormous amount of blood and...

    Hyperthyroidism without weight loss?

    My 11-year-old cat was diagnosed as "borderline" hyper-T on March 7th. At the time, they said it was just something we needed to watch. She also has FLUTD/IC and renal insufficiency. Well, this last week I have seen a completely different cat. For the past week, she has been completely...

    Spirulina

    Does anyone here use this as a supplement for their cats? I started my 1-year-old IBD kitty on it about a week ago and have seen tremendous improvements in her energy levels. I had started it to give her a boost in nutrition, but the added energy has been a huge plus. This is very high in B11...

    Hardwood and area rugs

    I wasn't sure where to post this so feel free to move it, but it is about cat behavior. I'm getting ready to have most of my carpet ripped out and hardwood flooring installed. I plan to get a couple of very large area rugs for the living/dining areas and wondered if there are any kind of...
