I'm super new to feeding raw. Over the past couple of weeks I have been transitioning my boy, Lebowski to a commercial raw diet, just to see if he likes it. He seems to enjoy the food and anecdotally, it seems to keep him full a bit longer than his canned food did (based solely on the fact that...

In August 2019 we adopted our boy, Lebowski. He was part of a local TNR program but he turned out to be quite friendly and was adopted out to me rather than released back to his colony. We think he's about 3 or 4 years old. He's settled in wonderfully but over the past couple of months my...

Hi All. About three weeks ago we had to say goodbye to our beloved boy, Winston. Something that my partner and I had not expected was the change in our other cat, Artemis. Artemis has been with me since she was a kitten and she's always been a little "prickly". She doesn't like to be touched...

Hi All, I want to you thank you in advance if you read this long ramble. The short version of this is that my beloved boy, Winston is in end-stage Congestive Heart Failure and I need tips on how to cope. Here is the longer/more detailed version: I adopted Winston six years ago from a local...

I recently moved into a new apartment and sadly, it lacks windowsills... which has lead to a very sad kitty. I thought that the solution might be to just buy one of those sills that you can attach yourself, like this. However, in reading the descriptions on these products it looks like you need...

This past weekend my fur family grew! I adopted an adorable year and a half year old hedgehog named Truffles! I'm already completely in love with her and believe it or not, she's the sweetest little thing and loves to cuddle. My little black cat, Artemis isn't overly impressed but Winston has...

Recently my furball, Winston was diagnosed with Pancreatitis. His appetite had disappeared completely and if he did try to eat anything, he would throw it up immediately. After several rounds of x-rays and blood work, our vet confirmed that it was Pancreatitis and Winston was hospitalized for...

Last week I noticed that my boy, Winston wasn't eating as much as he normally does. He's 20 pounds and loves his meals so it's unheard of for him to leave food behind in his bowl. Last week he was leaving half of his meal unfinished. I thought it was a little odd but he was acting normally so I...

When I first joined this site I was adamantly against feeding Fancy Feast to my cats. However, I have been doing a lot of reading about the brand and it seems that it might not be as bad as I originally thought (and definitely a lot more affordable than a lot of other brands). Reading through...

Hi everyone. Sorry to bother you all with another annoying nutrition question. As some of you have probably read in my prior posts, I recently adopted a large tabby from the shelter named Monstro (I have since decided to change his name to Winston ... much less fat sounding). He is 25 pounds and...

My quest to find my fat fur kid the best possible food continues! Several of you pointed me to this chart for nutrition information on many canned food brands. According the the list ideally, food should contain: > 50% calories from proteinbetween 20% and 45% calories from fat0% to 2% calories...

My boy, Monstro is wee bit hefty and our veterinarian recommended that he lose about eight pounds to bring him down to a healthy weight. Monstro is currently on an all wet food diet (3 oz in the morning an 3 oz at night). He's currently eating the PetSmart Simply Nourish brand though, the more...
