Hello!
So I joined this site a few years ago when I was looking for info and advice and doing my research on taking care of the new kitten I was planning on getting. Took longer then planned but I finally did end up getting a kitten, actually two.
There's Kovu, my handsome orange tabby male...
Wow, I never knew how complicated a cat’s system is. Thanks LDG for those links, they’re extremely helpful in making me understand how exactly cats process everything and what is really beneficial vs. detrimental to a cats health. I’m obviously going to have to stay away from supplements like...
Obviously there’s some confusion about what I mean when it comes to the supplements lol. Sorry about that. I’m used to dealing with dogs so it’s a completely different situation now and I’m not really sure what’s the norm for cat owners.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
Vball91: Thanks for the link. I'm sure I'll spend a lot of time on there going through the websites and trying to figure everything out. I feed premade to my dog but I know for cats it's a completely different situation with what they need in their diet...
Sorry if this is a bit long. I'll be getting my first kitten soon and I want to make sure I'll have everything I need. For me, nutrition is extremely important when it comes to caring for animals. My dog is currently fed Primal premade raw, Nupro supplement(the one for joint support), spirulina...
My names Brittany and I'm a dog owner whose planning on getting my first kitten this year and just looking for information and trying to educate myself as much as possible before I get my kitten.
My dog is a Mini Poodle who is 8 and his name is Pepper. He's a phantom poodle, so black with...
