My cat is a big fan of chewing. Always has been, always will be. Started with electrical cords, tape, and a bunch of other dangerous stuff. I now buy her pigs ears and tiny bully sticks. Seems to do the trick. Recently caught her chewing my toothbrush. First thought: ew, need to buy a new...

Cat has been on S&C raw frozen DOG patties for ~5 years because I they were originally formulated for both dogs and cats. Rotated between chicken, turkey, duck and lamb for all 5 years without issue. I changed to venison once because the store was out of all other flavors. Cat ended up in ER...

Back story: cat is now 11 years old, has had feline herpes virus his whole life- very prone to upper respiratory infections. He's on daily lysine supplements. Every time *anything* changes (visitor, repairman) he comes down with an upper respiratory infection. We take him to the vet, the vet...

My cat loves to chew. She started with electrical cords which was really concerning. I now give her pigs ears and trachea to chew naturally. She is on raw food patties. I've read that raw is best for teeth health because it doesn't build up like kibble does. But she doesn't get raw meaty bones...

My parents have a weekend cabin a couple hours away up a mountain. Over 8000 ft change in 2 hours. They want to bring the cat with them so he isn't alone over the weekends they are gone. They drove him up twice already and he was a bit freaked out but overall fine. They are concerned with how...

Please move this post if it really should be in other animals but anyways. I currently feed my cat commercial raw but I've been reading the recipes on here and all the resources posted and I think once I'm ready I'll make the investment in a home grinder and supplements. My real question...

So I go to the store today to pick up more raw and I saw a new product that has me pretty excited. I've heard the debate on cats getting any fruits and veggies as not necessary but what I've seen is that there is only one commercial frozen raw that has no fruits or veggies in it. RadCat is the...

I recently posted about my cat getting sick from steak and having trouble getting her back on to her raw.  I finally did and she is now on Primal brand Turkey frozen with freeze dried as "snacks".     Because of my previous issues with her , I'm really nervous to start introducing any new...

I've started feeding raw commercial patties to my cat (7 months old) and she took to it really well.  I have a friend who has feed her dogs and cats raw for years now guiding me through this, but this has stumped her now.  She advised me that I could supplement her breakfast and dinner feedings...

I'm looking for a hairball treat that I can give a cat with food sensitivities. He doesn't really eat the paste (like petromalt) it needs to be in a treat form. He is on a limited ingredient diet of Duck and Potatoes and does quite well with it, but has hairballs really frequently. He...

Very long story but I'm looking to possibly switch my cat to raw after just recently finding freeze dried raw diet that my cat actually likes. my cat weighed in at seventeen and a half pounds at his last vet appointment. he throws up randomly which you can read about in a different post of...

I'm very puzzled with my cat's health at the moment. Background: He is almost 5 years old short haired Bombay-ish male. He is being fed good food (Blue). His problem about a year ago is now what is happening again. He throws up periodically. He does not throw up every day. He threw up...

My 4 years old male cat has the feline herpes virus and last year when I brought him in for his vaccinations he had an allergic reaction to one of them (not sure which since he got more than one) and he ended up having a flair up of the virus leading to more vet appointments, antibiotics and...

So, I've owned cats all my life and I know there are a few reasons a cat would throw up and the two most common seem to be that the cat eats too fast (just scarfs down a whole meal) and then throws it up, or that there is an intestinal blockage (hairball or otherwise) so they throw up as well...

Alright, my boy has been free fed for 3 years and is really all he knows. Now after a ton of research and my cat gaining weight, I've decided it would be better to have meals instead of free feeding him. He is on Blue buffalo indoor, but I might end up transitioning to Evo. I thought I could...

Ok, my cat has been on just dry food for 3 years, but through a bit of reasearch, I know that isn't the best. My cat (indoor active male-3yrs old) is a bit overweight. not a lot... but at least a couple pounds. I've switched his dry food to a much better quality and I've increased his wet...

My cat has had a mild limp for a couple weeks now. I figured he either got stepped on or jumped hard on it one day, but that he would heal himself. I kept an eye on it and it seemed like the problem was gone for a couple days, but it has not gone away. I don't like my old vet and the "new"...

ok, so the other night, my cat was flexing on a blanket that he sleeps on (normal), but then he started smelling me feet at the same time and flexing right by my feet. I tried to move my foot but he followed it, so I put it back. Lets just say he REALLY liked my foot and REALLY liked his...

Ok, my cat had earmites about a month and a half ago. I knew what it was and got her treated. The vet said one treatment usually does it. They apply it and I don't have to worry about meds at home. The vet said it would take full effect in 3-5 days. So I waited while my cat itched and shook...

My cat has White flakes of skin on her coat. It is near the base of her tail. She has lots of dandruff and I thought it might be due to dry skin. She isn't stressed (she loves it here and has had no changes at all) and isn't over weight. She weighs 11 pounds. She is 8 years old and eats science...
