    Change in cat causing human allergies?

    Years ago, I read that feeding cats fish/seafood makes them more prone to causing allergic reactions, so I quit feeding my cats any. I want to say it did help, but allergies have gotten so bad over the years, I can't swear to it.

    LOST CAT!! MY indoor Male Tabby got out!

    I had a feral kitten we found at 5 weeks old, he never really got tame.  (My husband swears it is because our then 2 and 3 yr old tried to use him as a wishbone once, and he never wanted near people again.)  He tolerated myself and my oldest son, positively hated my husband, and avoided the...

    Hmmm, what about dehydrating raw?

    I hope links are OK.  I was thinking like jerky, but even drier, so it could be crumbled for faster reconstitution.  When we make jerky, we use strips of beef, but one time we used this with ground beef. vball91, I would use a normal kitchen dehydrator, just like when I make jerky or dried...

    Hmmm, what about dehydrating raw?

    Has anyone tried dehydrating and then rehydrating Dr. Pierson's recipe?  I found a couple of posts about dehydrating liver and someone said it made it more like jerky.  I doubt I would have time to make and then dehydrate enough food for our travel time  (I think I figured out we will need 24-30...

    Human food...

    I have one that would live on peas if I would let him.  He loves them so much he has (multiple times) dipped his paw into near boiling water to get them, sigh.  (Lest anyone think I am horribly neglectful, sometimes it is simply not possible to keep an eye on 4 cats and a toddler while dashing...

    Wanting to try raw, a couple of questions

    I did buy the Friskies Classic Pate tonight, $0.69 per 13 ounce can, so that isn't overly expensive.  I also bought chicken wings for the family and had hubby cut the tips off for the cats as Ritz suggested, and will try giving those with the wet food.  I'm planning a cold turkey switch, and we...

    Wanting to try raw, a couple of questions

    Can you clarify what you're asking? I have two 15 cu ft deep freezes and two 20+ cu ft fridges, storage isn't a problem, nor is making food in any quantity. If you mean while I would be going raw, canned, and back to raw, that is because we are leaving Texas in June, and will not arrive in New...

    Wanting to try raw, a couple of questions

    Thank you all for the responses thus far!  I think if I am going to see litter box changes so quickly, I will not have a problem convincing the husband to switch. His reluctance to switch isn’t just due to cost, and I think I’ve painted a bad picture of him about that.  Years before we ever had...

    Wanting to try raw, a couple of questions

    I want to apologize in advance, I am positive this info is already covered somewhere, but I am having some health issues of my own right now, and they make it very difficult to concentrate and research. I have 4 cats, indoor only.  Two are appropriate weight (8-9lbs each, 5-7 years old, I...
