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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

The twins, Artemis and Apollo, have been doing great on raw so far. They're also insatiably curious and sweet, and now - rather than worry about their health - I'd like to get some thoughts about my own. If your raw-foodie cat drinks water out of your water glass, do you still drink the water...

Thanks again to this forum, and all of the advice I've gotten - both on this thread and others - about how to safely transition Apollo and Artemis onto raw food.  The twins came to me on Monday, and have been eating the wet food their foster mom gave them to help ease settling into my...

It's day five and my kittens have made it into my bedroom. They're super adorable! And I love them! Except that I'm also studying to take the bar exam, and it's....difficult. No really. Really Hard. Anyone have tips on how to keep them off my computer and bar review materials? I feel...

My two 12-week-old kittens - a brother/sister pair - like to play in the litter box. At first, I thought one was accosting the other in the litter box, but I realize they both like to sit in there and bat at each other, and jump in and out as they're running around the room. I assumed they would...

Hi! Just got my two kittens last night, and I've been letting them settle in. I don't want to freak them out while they're still getting comfortable, but I'm already planning on transitioning the kitties, which have been free-fed wet food, to timed meals. Additionally, I'm thinking of moving...

Last night I brought home an adorable brother-sister pair of eleven week old kittens from a local cat rescue group. Now that they've warmed up a little in my bathroom and are starting to play and explore, I'd like to introduce everyone to them! World - meet Artemis (gray female kitten on the...

Hallo! I'm back, and am hoping someone can give me advice on/look over the numbers my spreadsheet made for me. I'm preparing for the arrival of two rescue kittens (and procrastinating on lots of other tasks - ergo, spreadsheets), and hope to transition them to raw after they've settled into my...

Hi, and thanks in advance for your advice! I will be adopting two adorable littermates, who will be 12 weeks old when I bring them home in early June. I'd done a fair amount of research on litters, and ultimately settled on using clumping clay litter like Dr. Elsey's (while keeping open the...

Hi everyone, I've been scouring these forums for a while trying to put together all of the information in preparation for bringing home and raw-feeding two new kittens in June. I think I'm slowly getting the hang of it? Nevertheless, I have a couple of (oddly detailed) questions that I'd love...

Hi everyone, I've been preparing to take the jump into cats for a while, and have been scouring the forums for a few months now. I'm planning to adopt two kittens at the same time, since I hear that kittens really benefit from the companionship and socialization of another kitten, and that...
