    not wanting 2nd meal of the day

    Hey, we have been raw feeding our boys since last year. They have 3 meals a day, one at 6am, one at 5.00ish when we are back from work and one at 10pm before bed. Recently my oldest boy (Data, nearly 2 years old) has stopped eating his 5pm meal. He has a voracious appetite at breakfast and at...

    Rude!

    Hi I'm not sure where you are based but I encountered similar difficulties sourcing organs in the uk. I would call butchers, abbatoirs and farms and would get very rude responses. Eventually I found a local butchers who get heart, lung, liver, kidney and gizzards in for me. Dont give up they can...

    how are my two cats getting on?

    Theres no blood and only a bit of fur dotted here and there over the house. Neither cat is hiding although my older boy will slouch off when hes had enough. If I feel they are being too rough should I just firmly say no?

    frankenprey feeders...how much bone do you feed?

    Thanks for the replies. I usually fed quail but couldnt get any last week. We fed the partridge but it wasnt a hit! We will be sticking to quail in the future.

    how are my two cats getting on?

    So at the start of December my husband and I adopted a 6 month old cat to join our 19 month old cat. We did the slow introductions and within 2 weeks they had met and are now living together full time. What I want to know is how people feel the two cats are getting on. They will eat next to...

    frankenprey feeders...how much bone do you feed?

    Thanks, thats about the amount Ive been feeding! Has anyone fed partridge as a bone-in meal before? If so is the whole bird okay for cats as they are quite small?

    frankenprey feeders...how much bone do you feed?

    Ive recently modified my frankenprey menu and have been thinking about the amount of bone-in meals I give my two cats. I was just wondering how many bone-in meals fellow frankenprey feeders feed a week and what meats do they use?

    adding a second cat!

    One last question (promise!) We have had stair gates up at the safe room for two days now. We also did a supervised meet that went fairly well. Data still does the odd hiss but when he does they dont sound as hostile as before. The picture below was taken this morning. Data just keeps going to...

    adding a second cat!

    Just had to post about this evening! We have been doing lots of site swapping and opening the door enough for them to see each other lots of time during the day and at meal times. We've had no hissing from Data at all for 2 days and just now they were both sitting either side of the safe room...

    adding a second cat!

    Thanks for all your support and encouragement catdad! Well we opened the door a crack earlier with some tuna as positive reinforcement. Geordi (new boy) was so eager to get out and meet Data. Data ate some food and then hissed a fair bit at Geordi however his tail and ears didnt really...

    adding a second cat!

    Thanks for your reply. I left my ipod on for him whilst we were at work, he was still crying when we got in! Although there is evidence that he hasnt spent his whole day crying at the door as he has eaten the treats we left him and moved his toys. Im finding it really difficult not to put my...

    adding a second cat!

    Well we have had our new cat since this afternoon and he is an absolute sweetheart. Just wondering if anyone has any advice about comforting the little guy in our absence as every time we leave the room he cries and cries endlessly. My husband and I both have work for 6 hours tomorrow and are...

    adding a second cat!

    The new boy (and our current cat for that matter) is very sociable, his fosterer says he is always having a cuddle! One last quick question... we are picking up our new cat a few days earlier than we originally planned so We've been sorting his safe room. Now that we have put the new cat bed...

    adding a second cat!

    Thank you so much for your quick reply! The gap isnt huge but there is a step down on the outside of the door so my current cat would be able to look under at the newcomer. My husband and I both work during the day so he will be alone for several hours. I know hasty introductions are one of...

    Finally after many many months deliberating we are finally going for it and getting a second cat. We are picking him up next Thursday. We are getting him through a rescue centre. The centre were great and met our current cat and asked questions about his personality and tried to match us with a...

    Conflicted about getting second cat

    Its the issue of my current cat that worries me the most. He is an indoor/outdoor cat that seems to get on really well with the neighbourhood cats he greets almost all of them with a nose but and head rub. But I worry about whether he will get on with a companion, whether Im being selfish in...
