My cat just simply won't touch raw meat. Can I sautee or fry it a bit? Because my cat loves fried chicken (not that I feed him that) and I think he'll like sautéed meat. Some nutrition will be destroyed but it's still better than kibble, no?

Hi everyone, I noticed after I feed my cats with Felidae, they start to drink noticeably more. Could it be related to the food? If so, I would stick to this brand even though there are better brands.

as some of you know from my previous threads, it's not easy to find cattery in my country whose parents are hcm tested. but thankfully there's this cattery who is willing to arrange hcm test for their available kittens (the parents haven't been tested because the breeder believes it's enough...

Hi all, Just as the title says, what characteristics to look for? This breeder said his kitten is show quality. I thought, the kitten is only 1 month old (I can put an option to buy him later), is there really a way to know that? Breeders also can decide if they want to keep a kitten or put it...

Found a rather interesting article. Here I'll quote some of it: The result shows that the gene test does not bring anything. The study resulted in that Maine Coons with HCM are just as frequently positively tested in the gene test, as Maine Coons without HCM. Therefore the investment is not...

Hello, I'm planning to buy a purebred cat for a pet (I already have 2 mixed ones) I'm thinking of a Maine Coon and since it's still a rare breed in my country, I have a strong desire to breed it. Now I want a male Maine Coon just because it's a personal preference, but I heard that beginner...

Hi, if you're buying a Maine coon kitten, is there any way to know that it'll grow up as a beautiful cat? I mean with long ruff, big body, etc. If its parents are of good quality, would it guarantee that he'd turn out well?

Hi all, I used to feed my cats this brand: Pronature Holistic Turkey, chicken meal, brown rice, chicken fat naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, dried potato products, pearled barley, oat groats, herring meal, dried cranberries, dried egg product, natural chicken flavor, peas, dried...

Assuming you feed premium brand, how much? I'm asking because my cat only eats about 1 Tsp per meal time. I'm wondering whether it's because he doesn't like it or it's actually enough. edit: this is for kibble only

This is just sad: http://www.goodguide.com/categories/308923-dry-cat-food##products highest rating for science diet and the lowest is for wellness core. I can't even...

Hi, Is it possible that a cat suffers from diarrhea after being caught in the rain? Here's the story: I got home and found my cat outside the door and all wet. It was raining. Apparently my mom accidentally locked him out. So I immediately bathed him with very warm water. While being dried, he...

Hello, I need some advice regarding these cuties: http://m.kaskus.co.id/post/511b1b1c562acf861e000017 They're without certificates/pedigree but that's beside the point. I just wanna know if they physically classify as exotic shorthair? Because I think the furs are a bit long. Thanks.

this is actually a continuation from my previous thread. I would post on that thread but that thread is dead with no one responding anymore, so I hope it's ok to create this new thread. ok, so I want to switch my cat to a full wet diet within my budget. "within my budget," that's the key. the...

Hi everyone, I have a budget that's enough to feed my cat either super premium dry food only (orijen) or a combination of mid-quality dry food (grain-free but only contains chicken and maybe fish as the animal source. say, pure vita) and supermarket wet food (something slightly better than...

Hi, I just bought a 2,5 months old persian kitten from a backyard breeder, so it's without papers. The coat is long just like any other persian cat but it's rather sparse. You can see his skin if you run your hand through the coat. And the stomach area, you can see his skin there without doing...

Hi guys, With the limited options of cat food in my country, I've managed to found two brands (well, actually they're from the same company) that fit my budget and with ingredients that aren't too shabby. The first one, Nutrisource: Chicken meal, rice, salmon, chicken liver, chicken fat...

According to the websites below, it's better to not vaccinate cats. What's your take on this? http://www.rawfedcats.org/vaccinosis.htm http://www.truthaboutvaccines..org/ http://www.dark-truth.org/okt19-2006-2.html http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/vaccine.htm...

I just started raw feeding my kitten this morning (about 12 hours ago). And I don't know if it's just my feeling, but I notice that: 1. He's losing interest of kibbles. 2. He's more active. More enthusiastic in chasing his favorite rubber mouse. 3. His stool is fewer than usual. About 40% less...

I (like many others) store my raw meat in the freezer so what's the best way to thaw it before giving it to my kitty? So far I put it in warm water until the meat reach room temperature. And is it okay to put back in the freezer the meat that's been left out in the bowl by the cat for future use?

I want to switch my cat's diet to raw food. Is it enough for me to feed him ground chicken (with bone) like this: http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMG00125.jpg ? Or should I give other kinds of meat too and supplements? Thanks
