My older cousin asked my friend and I to watch his suburban townhouse (and, cats) while he and his wife were away. We took up the offer, and after all, it was a vacation for us too. At this point the house occupies--or rather 3 cats occupy the house. A young delicate but playful girl, a...
For those of you who feed a raw diet, do you use a meat grinder? If you do, how to you still ensure your cats are chewing and crunching enough? If you use a knife, how do you get the bones small enough? Also what kind of knives do you guys like to use for chopping up your raw diets (or do you...
Thanks for checking into that for me and noting that. I guess I was lied to and didn't read far enough to verify the information. I will take a look at TOTW. I believe they had it in stock as well. How does the price compare?
Also wouldn't wet food be much more expensive than dry food? They...
Hey I just wanted to say sorry that I had to remove the first post. Some parties were unhappy with the content. In any case we adopted a young male (1-2 years old) boy. He is doing great and is really funny. Into everything (teenager) and drives one of the girls a little crazy but they fare...
We have had our cats on grocery food for a long time and I want to get them off of it as they get older and as the new teenager needs some better food as well I imagine. My local pet food lady recommended Lifetime Feline Plus as the best step up from grocery food in terms of likeliness that the...
Yeah the thing is I don't live in town where most clinics are. I'm in the suburbs. So my choices are limited but I may have no choice but to look around. Thanks again for all the input!
Thanks for the replies everyone. I did some research and found places stating that glucosamine administration in diabetics can increase insulin resistance, but nothing about it increasing insulin efficiency. Increases in insulin resistance would mean glucose level peaks (as opposed to drops)...
Hey
So my cat Venus is somewhere between 10 and 13 years old- I can't remember right now lol. He's in overall good health a the moment. He's a diabetic but in remission. For months I was giving him insulin twice daily and weighing out his portions. Since I had to switch him onto wet food to get...
Hey I live in Montreal too, what I do for my cats is I built a cat house and give them 500W worth of construction lighting so they have heat and I bring it all up just to the right of my front door on the patio so he's close by.. The light also melts the snow around the entrance to the cat...
Hey I'm thinking about getting my cat some of these Soft Paw nail caps but was wondering something.. Aren't cat claws retractable? So wouldn't gluing these things on their nails prevent them from retracting them? They seem like they'd be pretty uncomfortable because of this.. please correct me...
Birds are extremely social creatures, as much as humans in my experience. I've had cockatiels, budgies, love birds and conures, and the conure was the most demanding, then the cockatiel. Chances are your cockatiel was calling YOU, and not a mate. My conure would always call for me and when I'd...
I have an American Pit Bull Terrier and he's fine with our cats.. Sometimes he wants to play with them but I don't allow it because even as adults the cats' bodies are too fragile for such a breed of dog, though one of my cats is an instigator lol.. What you can do is try desensitizing your dog...
