My cats are 12 years old. I'd like to have them be raw fed without a grinder, or are they too set in their ways to learn to chew and swallow bones, or will I not have to spend $100 I really shouldn't be?

My cats weren't completely on raw (liver there, hamburger here), but now they can't do it at all. My mom is moving into a friend's house until his tenants leave and I don't think he'd like all the grinders and meat filled freezer. Plus, he feeds his dog Science Diet so would he really...

Like how much protein, carb, fat, etc a mouse was?

You can harness train an older cat, and Figure H harnesses is especially good if he's uncomfortable (no need to slip the cat's head or leg through-it just snaps together).

Small, meaty, uncooked bones are fine. Cooked bones are not appropriate, or ones with little meat. Chicken ribs, wings, necks, and small turkey wing tips are healthy.

Catinfo.org has some good info on cat nutrition. I personally can't afford all wet, but I moisten it quite a bit and have a water fountain.

Sorry, I haven't been to Walmart in a long time (or anywhere selling Iams Healthy Naturals) so I haven't read the labels.

Actually you want some kind of meat meal as the first ingredient since it is weighed before it is dried.

What about Maxximum Nutrition, Purina Naturals, or or Iams Healthy Naturals?

Both of my cats are former barn cats and they see desperate to go outside sometimes. However, being former barn cats, they are somewhat skittish. Is there any harness that doesn't require slipping their legs or head into (which stress them out)-just snap and go? Any advice would be great.

Have you tried the multivitamin? Spinach, beef, chicken, and steak are healthier than lunchmeat, but she still may be lacking important nutrients. Vary her sources a lot, too. I'm glad she is okay.

My kitties b-day is coming up soon. What are some recipes for some special treats?

In Iams wet food they have chicken byproduct meal in their wet food. I don't get it-I thought that was a dry food ingredient.

I found out the bird is in another part of the house away from the cats and lives with the landlord, whose section is seperate from ours (and is not leaving the bird behind)...my mom had sent a pretty vague email about the move so I guess of overreacted. *blush* EDIT: There isn't even a bird...

They might as well sue all pet food companies...they're saying ALL meal is low-quality. It isn't. However, I am glad Petco is being sued, even if it isn't related to the awful, awful care and sources of their animals.

My mom's new house comes with a bird (don't ask, and I think it's pretty irresponsible). No idea what kind, but since it's singular it's probably not like a finch. I hope it's not like a cockatoo or macaw since they're supposedly like having another child and very high care. Um, so does anyone...

After a pretty awful experience with ToTW (they did fine-but the feed store sold really broken looking bags and didn't care when I complained), I'm looking into Evo. But how long do the 15.4 bags of food last, if the 2 cats share a 5.5 ounce can of wet 5 times a week? They're 8 or 9 lbs, pretty...
