    Budget Friendly Can Food?

    Thank you!   She has been enthusiastically eating the Friskies, but she refused to eat the Fancy Feast Pate's I bought her at Christmas time.  All my previous cats always loved the Fancy Feast pates.   She is my biggest cat and pickiest eating cat I have ever had.

    Budget Friendly Can Food?

    My cat was eating dry food when we adopted her.  I intially fed her both dry (Solid Gold Chicken dry food) and can food and then she started refusing to eat the can food.    I recently switched dry foods  and she has put on some weight.  But, she has been willing to eat some can food.  She is...

    Primal vs. Nature's Variety?

    My kitten is the opposite.  She prefers the Nature's Variety bites to the Primal. I am not sure if it is the texture of the bites or the taste she prefers. Both brands have trial sizes that you can try out.

    Dipping Toes into Commercial Raw – Lots of questions

    Thank you!   We are needing some new Human probiotics..  Is there a certain mix that is better for cats.  The link above looks like probiotics geared for humans right?  I will definitely get her some probiotics.  I will hold off on the salmon oil for a while.  I am not sure she likes sea food or...

    Dipping Toes into Commercial Raw – Lots of questions

    Do I need to supplement with a probiotic?  I have seen several post on here mentioning supplements and toppers?  Are these things needed if you are doing a balanced commercial raw?  So far I have been mixing with canned food to get our kitty to eat the raw food.

    Dipping Toes into Commercial Raw – Lots of questions

    Right now we have been feeding her from some Corelle small plates.  Problem is we also like to use those plates so I need figure out a good substitute plate.  She doesn't seem to like the bowls as much.  I don't want us sharing plates both due to risk of contamination and due to the fact she now...

    Nature's Menu - Reviews

    Hmm, for the price it seems like it is worth a shot.  Maybe I will try their Chicken the next time I got to that same pet store.

    Nature's Menu - Reviews

    I am just started to feed raw to our new kitten.  I saw this raw food at our local pet store.  It was priced $11 for 3 pounds of patties which I thought was a really good price.

    Dipping Toes into Commercial Raw – Lots of questions

    Yes, that is our new kitten in my Avatar.  We think is pretty cute.  Ok, so I should focus on total calories in the food and the protein percentage I would presume.  Do you all use Stainless Steel dishes?  Right now I am using ceramic dishes. Do you do anything special to clean or maintain...

    Dipping Toes into Commercial Raw – Lots of questions

    Well, since finding this site about 2 weeks ago my plan on feeding my new kitten has planned quite a bit.  My original plan was dry food with a little bit of wet, then after reading and researching I started feeding all canned food and now I picked up some commercial raw at the store.  LOL...

    Switching to all wet- Need advice on keeping kitties weight low

    I am feeding 4 meals most days to our almost 5 month old kitten.  We have fairly flexible work schedules and my MIL lives with us so we are able to do that most days.  My kitten seems to want to eat about that many times a day.  She eats about a 1/4 of a 5.5 oz can of wet food at each meal. ...

    Switching to all wet- Need advice on keeping kitties weight low

    From what I have read the higher carbs particularly in dry food can pack the weight on to some cats.   Most on here try and feed high protein foods.  Meat proteins are what a cat body is deigned to eat and they can not utilize the plant based proteins like other animals.  This is a great site...

    Am I feeding them enough?

    Nature's Variety is pretty pricy.  My kitten is about a month older and really eating quite a bit now and is growing like crazy in the 3 weeks or so we have had her.  We are feeding Trader Joes Chicken and Trader Joes Turkey mostly while we try out other brands of canned food.  We are trying out...

    ID tags that are not huge?

    Covering some of the holes.  Autocorrect hates me.

    ID tags that are not huge?

    That is a good idea covering some of the holds of the peekaprize box.  The Boomerang tag came today and it is perfect.  Thank you all for the suggestion!

    New 8 Week Old Kitten : Bear

    I have a 4 1/2 month old kitten and she still eats 4 times a day.  Our feeds: first thing in the morning, lunch time,  dinner time 5 or 6pm and once before I go to bed for the night.  I was leaving dry food down, but I have pulled up the dry food after deciding to feed can food.  I discard any...

    Old Lady Toenails (Abby)

    Haha!  That is what I get for posting before I have my two cups of coffee in the morning.  My Persians thick nails were always kind of crumbly and I couldn't cut them too short without them splintering.  But, I did always cut them back a bit with his other nails.  All of his nails would curl...

    Obsessed with these cat fountains

    Ugh!  I want one now.  We have a Drinkwell fountain, which I find to be a pain to clean.  I got it when my last kitty was diagnosed with renal failure and it did seem to help her drink more.  She was a faucet drinking cat for the last year or two of her life.
