Just getting in on this as I have not been around for quite awhile :(  First your Sib is beautiful!  Siberian color and especially pattern can be very tricky and confusing - especially to those not familiar with it, much like Maine Coons.  Mostly because Sib's come in nearly every color or...

I'm with the voters who are both yes and no on this question, however I voted No for the poll. If you already owned the cat and feeding low quality cheap food was the only way to keep your cat or dog then I would be all for it - anything to keep from giving them up. However if you are in the...

I had a Drinkwell Platinum for about a year. Held up well and all 3 of my cats loved it. No one was "scared" of it, never had any problems. Whenever I took it apart to clean it they would follow me and pace like they were afraid they wouldn't get it back That being said - I would never have...

http://feline-nutrition.org/nutrition Great site to get you started. I am starting mine on a bought diet, but not what I would consider commercial from Blue Ridge Beef. Lots of my online friends who feed raw ship in from Hare today as well. I think until I learn what I'm doing buying a...

I have to go a bit against the general thought here. It's possible I suppose the skittishness comes from the vision, but I think it's more behavior. My cross eyed cat is VERY out going. The crossed eye will follow the pointed pattern of the Siamese gene. I have a pointed Tonkinese and he...

I think the food looks great - I would feed it myself but the shipping is sooo expensive! I have ordered some Blue Ridge Beef products from a local retailer. They get good reviews and lots of people on my Yahoo raw feeding board recommended that company. It's small as well and I just didn't...

Just be careful when scooping the box or cleaning up any accidents. It's a bacteria so it's zoonotic - meaning it's transmissible from your infected cat to you - and anyone else (pets included) in your home. Be extra careful with hygiene for a few days till the antibiotics kick in! You'll...

I guess my question would be has the mother been tested? Do you know the father? That would give you a better indication as to if it was a "false" positive if you had at least the mother tested. When we adopted my Grace from foster care we had her tested and we knew the mom was negative. Our...

Wishing Sophie all the best. She looks truly lovely! I'm sure anyone who loves Persians knows they can have sinus issues and I bet after the infection clears and with the surgery she's much better. Hugs and Kisses to her.

Without sounding completely condescending, I fail to see how this is anything new or groundbreaking. We've known for a long time that cats don't need carbohydrates as an energy source - they need protein. So why would it surprise anyone that if given a choice a cat would naturally select to...

Many of the breeders and show people that I know actually have their cats on a Raw diet...

I think people tend to scream and yell rather than to rationally educate. Being emotional never makes anyone honestly listen to your points of view. Maybe you should take this approach when talking to your family. So some research online about WHY the laser declaw is really just a different...

Yes - this is a reasonable concern. I would look at the list of "ingredients" and start looking them up. The paws on their feet absorb what they walk in and you let her lay in it, she can absorb it into her skin or lick it off. Keep your animals away from all insecticide, rodenticide, and...

I wonder if you put the new tree in the old trees place an then moved the old tree to a less desirable place in the house for a little while? You know - still around to use but kind of out of site out of mind? But the new tree is so available to use and in the great prime spot! That way he...

When we have brought home another cat it's usually been a rough 2 weeks or so. All mine are indoor only cats. I think that you have indoor/outdoor complicates things a bit. They have the option to go elsewhere, and obviously the have done just that. I don't know what advice to really give...

People used to bring in their long haired cats to the groomer all the time that was next to the vet that I worked for. We would sedate the feisty ones for grooming and shaving. I would say if you want the fur cut down to have a professional do it. Do risk hurting you kitty (or yourself)! I...

Whenever I mix foods my kitties just pick out the pieces of what they want Picky little buggers aren't they?

I can tell you at my vet there is a separate fee for cystocentesis. However, I understand you feeling a bit taken advantage of if this has not been the case in the past. The actual Doctors are not usually the ones to explain pricing - that's usually left to someone else - and if pricing...

You may want to consider getting a water fountain to generate interest in them drinking more water. Can't hurt. Mine love it! I have a regular old drink well right now. But the pump is making funny noises Had it about a year and I'm leery about it being plastic now. There is a guy who...

Nothing is wrong with chicken, I would just assume if you buy a venison and salmon diet food that this is the protein that you would prefer to feed. If I buy my canine a Lamb and rice formula dog food - I buy it because I am choosing NOT to feed him chicken. Obviously this feline formula is...
