I am moving to Washington from San Diego. I will be driving there. I have already obtained a cargo net to velcro between the front and back of the car so the cats (2) cannot interfere with my driving. I plan on having a litter box on the floor for them, and kibble and water on the other side of...

Background: Minja - Adopted 3 yrs ago. Current Age: 5. Had behavioral issues. Food monger. Retrained her, she now knows she gets 3 squares at same time every day, no more problems EXCEPT when she finishes her food she immediately runs to the other room to eat Hershey Rose's food. Background -...

Hi. I have been away from this list for awhile, but I could use some advice from the experts again. Here is my situation: After the death of my beloved Hershey, I could not bear the loneliness and the heartache. I called several breeders, the Humane Society, the ASPCA, and tons of shelters...

I had started a thread on this earlier this year, but things have gotten worse.  Short history: I adopted Minja after the death of my beloved Hershey (pictured above). Minja is a Heinz 57 tortie who had behavioral issues and was returned to the shelter because her new guardians couldn't handle...

I was watching My Cat From Hell last week, and there was a cat that had the same nasty habit as my mom's cat. And all this time I thought Smokey was just nuts! But there it was, on camera, another cat doing the horizontal mambo with a stuffed animal.  As it turns out, Jackson could find no...

My ex-feral, Hershey Rose, eats Dr. Pierson's raw diet. I add pork as the second protein because she won't eat lamb or beef. I had no problem getting her on raw, she was trapped and fed Wellness and Inova and 2 months later I got her, and with the help of everyone here, started her on raw. She...

My cat prefers white meat chicken in her raw food. I am using bone meal now, but want to get a Tarin grinder (I just returned on that would not even crunch the rib bones) and put the whole breast (center bone removed but ribs in), and the second and third part of the wing through the grinder...

Hi, Hershey Rose was a feral I adopted last September. She eats raw that I make from Dr. Pierson's recipe. The first few batches I made were white meat chicken. Then I added dark meat the next few batches. She wasn't as interested. Recently I added pork as a second protein. She was fine with...

Hi again, I'm back with another question. Hershey Rose has very little feral left in her. Since I adopted her in Sept 2012, she has come such a long way that I would not refer to her as a feral at this point, but a loving kitty that has a few hang-ups. She is now at the point where she has...

After reading the reviews on Amazon for the STX Turboforce 3000 Series, 300 watt grinder, I decided to get one. All the reviewers said they bought it primarily to make cat food as it ground up the bones so well. Mine arrived a few days ago and after reading the instructions, I gave it a go...

I have 2 cats. Minja, a Heinz 57 Tortie who is 3 yrs old, and Hershey Rose, a feral Burmese who I adopted in Sept and is now a lap cat. Minja was welcomed into my home in July of last year, Hershey Rose came in Sept. HR was given her own room, potty, toys, etc. She was trapped by the Humane...

There is no joy like ......... Falling in love. Watching your baby take his/her first step. Seeing your child graduate. Seeing the garden that you planted and nurtured for months come into full bloom. Giving your feral cat it's first belly rub. Happy Valentine's Day! Lei-Ann Hershey Rose...

My feral is now at the stage where she wants to grab my fingers and lick them, or grab my hand and hold onto it. I really want to encourage her physical contact as she does not do well with being petted. She will let me touch her paws and pet them without biting now, but if I try and put her paw...

Hi again. A few weeks ago I posted that I made the recipe on catinfo for Hershey Rose and she loved it. However, her stools were rock hard, indicating too much bone marrow. I did not use real bones, but used the amount of bone meal specified in the recipe. I posted the problem and was advised to...

Does anyone know or has anyone with more than one cat (including a Tortie) know if that breed has a tendency to bully other cats? My Torties harasses my Burmese constantly, my sister-in-law's Torties constantly harasses her other cat, and my doctor's nurse has 4 ferals and tells me the Tortie...

I have re-trained cats, taught them to talk (actually speak words), and made friends with even the nastiest kitties, so why can't I stop my own 2 cats from fighting? Apparently my methods which I normally use are not working. All of the cats I have adopted throughout my life were disadvantaged...

Made a batch (6 lbs) of catinfo recipe, but grinder would not do bones. Added pork to make up for weight of bones, and added required amount of bone meal. Mixed and froze. Feeding it to Hershey Rose now, and her poop is extremely hard. Tried putting a little more Omega-3 oil and water in before...

I adopted a Tortie (Minja) in July. She had some behavior issues (screamed all day and was a food monger), and no one who adopted her could handle her, so she kept bouncing between homes and adoption agencies. Some people have no patience. She no longer screams all day, and will sit quietly and...

I am currently feeding Hershey Rose raw that I made (catinfo recipe). I add vitamin E and liver to the chicken, along with the taurine and salt, etc. However, my girls don't like the smelly salmon oil, so I am looking for a substitute. I am new to raw feeding, and have heard of vitamin...

My healthy pet pantry store does not sell krill oil, just salmon oil. It is very expensive, but they tell me it does not smell fishy (haven't opened it yet). My drug store sells fish oil and half the price, and has all the requirements raw feeding needs. However, the oil is made up of tuna...
