The kitten is pooping better, in little pellets that seem like enough.  I'm giving it about 3/4t of olive oil in its meals, some tiny bits of raw liver, and a touch of laxatone--a hairball preventer with mineral oil in it (the vet OKed that).  The kitten eats all the liver pieces pretty early...

Thanks for the info and advice, Willowy.  The kitten is much steadier today, seeming normal!  I think it may have been in really bad shape when it was found yesterday.   After over 24 hours since the last poop it has pooped once more, but not very much poop.  It seemed to strain when it pooped...

My neighbors found this kitten crying at the side of a road while they were out on a walk.  We've asked at several houses in the neighborhood and no one is aware of a missing kitten or of a local feral with kittens.  We checked out the spot a couple of times and never saw a mom.  Is there any...

Hello! I'm vegetarian, not vegan, but wanted jump in and say "you can do it!"  It was so gross to me at first, but we had kittens who had that stinky soft poop for months, so cutting up raw meat was less gross than that!  (they are allergic to any grain, it seems.  And the moment they switched...

That's hilarious!  You think you've created a peaceful sanctum for his dining pleasure, instead he's decided he wants whatever those kids have! Mrs, Greenjeans has a very good point about him needing to learn to eat more at each meal.  But since you're concerned about his age and weight, if it...

Our kittens would do the same to Mynah--poke a face at her dish, and she'd run away.  We started feeding her up higher, and gave the kittens a little spray if they started snooping (they are done in a flash, she chews veeeerrrryyyyyy  sllllooooowwwwllllyyyyyy.  You may want to try that, or...

Hi, Krysta: The little I know about NV is that some people will pick out some of the bone, mostly out of concern of the sharp ones.  Some cats do become constipated, but not all.  Here is one thread where you can find mention of it, hit control-F to search for constipated...

Is reusable plastic all right with you?  I can't tell. We use the Glad brand semi-disposable containers, 25-ounce, entree style.  When the container gets emptied, we put it and the lid on the floor, where the kitties scour it clean.  We have to take it away before they chew on it, though--they...

WHAT is going on in this thread?  Have you all turned into pooper-snoopers?  Mind your own business!   Toby, I thought of two other possible causes for the puking that you should know about: 7. Overproduction of stomach acid, usually meaning the cat needs to be fed more frequently.  The kitty...

I think others will come along with better experience with puking cats, but I'm here now, so here's the info I have: For their next meal give them something they've had successfully before.  Try the other, original rad cat flavor.  Hopefully, they will not be wary of it.  Be prepared to add...

Ooh, boy, I just checked out how far your pet store is.  Yes, I'd love to turn that drive into a meet-up!  And maybe I'll do some holiday shopping in Schaumburg while I'm out there.  LDG, I hope you're able to get gas for your generator without too much hassle.  Yeah, I do wonder who will win...

Hiya, Toby: I don't know how big a Rad Cat tub is, and how long an extra amount of RC should last them, but I'm thinking they may be hungry because their kibbles are gone and they didn't get enough extra to cover that.  The general rule for kittens is "Feed them often, and feed them as much as...

Wow, that's great!  I'll even go and buy some from your pet store, to help thank them for getting that organized!  (Uh, do I have to drive all the way out there, or are they a chain that will carry it at other stores?) I haven't checked-in in awhile, but stopped in to make sure LDG is ok.  I'm...

Hi, Washu: Living close to My Pet Carnivore will be great for you!  A lot of raw feeders in the Chicago area get deliveries from them.  Since you live so close, you may not realllly need a chest freezer, but could run out to buy more stuff once a week or so.  Regarding supplements, I don't know...

It looks like you got things figured out, but I don't know if you ground coarsely and then reground, or what.  We just put the fine plate on our Tasin, and it it grinds the bones with no problem.  Our chicken leg quarters either look like they are from normal-sized chickens, and Tasie gobbles...

Hello!  Welcome to raw.  I see you've already been trained on operation of the poop-o-meter--very good!  For food storage, we use Take-alongs, those semi-disposable tupperware tubs.  The "25-oz" tub holds about 30 oz, or about 1.5 days worth of food for our 4 cats.  What I don't like about...

Erm...This is what worked for me, but you may not like it. I did it on my adult cat, and started doing it with our foster kittens. My guy thought it was too harsh, but I checked with the lady running the cat rescue, and she said it was fine. If a cat or kitten jumps on the counter, I grab the...
