I put some Hare Today in a water bath this morning to defrost it, but forgot to put it in the fridge before I left for work. It's now been in a water bath for 12 hours, and the water is around 50-60 degrees. Should I just throw it all out or still use it and see if my cats are OK with it...

Thank you everyone for the advice! I would not be amazed if there's a little bit of food insecurity; I figure I was feeding them enough while they were growing (also up to 8oz/day/cat, although they started off around 6oz when they were 12 weeks or so), but maybe there were days when they were...

My kittens have been on raw since I rescued them at 12 weeks old, and now they're both healthy, active 1-year-5-months cats. I give them Hare Today with Al-Nutrin, and extra ground meat and ground organ. They also each get a can of sardines (in water, no extra salt) around once a week. Two minor...

In response to a replier: I can't close the door to my cats because I live in a studio. There are no doors, unless I want to hide them in the bathroom all night, and that just seems cruel. The shower cap seems like an avoidant solution rather than a proactive one, as it relies on the hope that...

Hi everyone, Thanks in advance for your advice! Of my two 7-month-old kittens, one of them absolutely LOVES to chew on my hair at night. It's gotten to the point where he'll wake me up in the middle of the night trying to get at my hair, and the likelihood of sleep for the rest of my night is...

I started my kittens at around 14 weeks old. At their most recent check-up, Apollo gained a little more than one pound in a month, while Artemis has gained a little less than a pound in a month - which is more-or-less on par with the "one pound a month" growth rate. My vet also has made no...

Thank you both for your thoughtful responses! And sorry for the delay in responding - both of the kittens just go spayed and neutered 1.5 days ago and I've been up to my eyeballs in stress trying to get them calmed down and settled in.  The vet didn't seem concerned and the blood test was taken...

The girlfriend sounds - eurgh. Maybe you can get her to sit through the Netflix documentary on declawing! I would second the nail clipping. I clip my cats' nails once a week, and even if they tried, I don't think they can break human skin (let alone furniture). (OK, well, they did poke a few...

Hey everyone! Got the twins some bloodwork in preparation for their spay and neuter, and received copies of their medical records. My vet had said they're totally fine, but I noticed that both kittens are off the charts with phosphorus. Since I do a home-made raw diet, and am a nervous first...

Thank you everyone for the advice and reassurance! I'm glad to hear that my kittens are seemingly well within the range of normal kitten behavior. (First time kitten mom - I tend to get worried over EVERYTHING.    Aaaaaaand, Southern Belle, I will definitely start working to dissuade them from...

Pheeew - thanks! And yeah - definitely using a scale from now on so I don't need to worry about it anymore!

My two kittens - a brother and sister pair - have gotten along since I adopted them in June. However, their behavior is starting to confuse me.  On the one hand, they regularly groom each other. On the other hand, both kittens have this odd grooming habit where one kitten will lick, lick lick...
