I currently have a 4 year old male and a 5 year old female. They get along well. I'm getting a pair of sibling kittens soon and got the advice that getting 2 boys would be best for peaceful co-existence, however my family has fallen in love with one of the girls in the litter. We have a big...

I'm thinking of attempting to train my 5 year old cat to let me clip her nails after she got a small scratch by her face which I think she might have done herself .... she does have a brother but they get along well and he doesn't fight mean that we've seen. She's an indoor cat, we have quite a...

My 1 year old cat's left eye has a very slight droop to it the last couple of days.  Is this something I should be concerned about?  It does not looks swollen or does not have any other noticeable signs of issues.  We do have another cat and I wonder if she got her eye poked.  Thanks for any advice.

I feel disheartened to say I'm slowly giving up on raw. I've been trying frankenprey for a few weeks and commercial raw for a couple of weeks before that.   My cats won't eat bone, they only seem to like chicken thigh meat (especially the 1 year old- the kitten is a lot more agreeable but...

Hello, When I pet my kittens back of his neck there's a little small black thing that might be a scab/blood mark.  He was recently fixed do they inject him and leave a little blood scab.  He's not too sensitive to me touching it.  Could it be a mole or something I have to have checked out.  Any...

I'm transitioning to raw and between not having bought a 2nd secreting organ, one cat being more picky and only eating chicken, bones not being eaten by either and trying to get them interested in different types of protein I know I'm not following the guidelines of 80/10/5/5. How soon before...

I've been feeding commercial raw for a couple of weeks and just tried some regular raw chicken thigh over the weekend and now my kitten is not very interested in the commercial.  Both cats loved the raw chicken thigh.  So I'm ready to do frankenprey (been reading up on it the last few weeks but...

I'm gone from 6:45 until around 5 or 6 on weekdays.  I'm just new to feeding raw and started with commercial and have been mixing in some wet sometimes (mainly with beef).  I've been leaving dry kibble out while I'm at work because I have a 5 month old and a 13 month old and they're pretty...

My vet has prescribed this for nail trimming.  If I did this once a month regularly would this be bad for my cat's health.  I try to get her while she's napping on the weekends but the most I can do is one or two nails of which ever paw is accessible and they're all getting long so I gave it to...

Perhaps this is a weird question- but I've never had cats before so all this shedding is new to me.  My vacuum just broke and I think it was the cat hair.  Is there a good vacuum- around $200 or less that is great with shedding cat hair.  I don't know if this is too random of a question.  My...

Is there anything I should know about how my old year old female (spayed) will act when my 6 month old cat is neutered.  She loves to groom him so I'm wondering if she will try to lick his wound.  Do they have to be separated? Also, two weeks after the procedure we are leaving for a week and...

Lily, white, is 13 months old and Chili is 5 months old. Chili with monkey is my favorite. Still trying to capture a very favorite of the two together.

Hello, I've always used a brush with my kitten, who is now 13 months, but she mainly liked it on her face/cheeks and I would do the tuft under her neck and run it a bit down her back.  Now that's she's shedding for the first time I realize this grooming really has to be all over.  I got the...

(Can't edit title... meant to say she doesn't play with us). I have a 13 month old female who recently got a brother.  They get along well and play together, running around a lot.  The kitten loves to play with us but now the 13 month old doesn't.  Is that normal?  Should I be doing something...

I have another question for you- as I keep reading (and now I'm going a little coo-coo with all the new info) ... I read on one of the resources under this forum that nuggets and such are not good for cats because they need to chew and you really need to do raw from the butcher and get the bones...

Yesterday my cats ate their first raw food.  I gave them each one nugget of Primal beef n salmon.  They both ate it but then at breakfast today neither touched it.  Right after I mixed some wet food with it for my kitten (I had run out of the wet my other cat likes) but even with that the kitten...

Overwhelmed to read all the information.  Any advice? Raw includes the freeze dried or frozen raw you can get at the store, correct?  Your cat can live a healthy life on this commercial raw food alone? How expensive is it to feed two cats a commercial raw diet per month? Do I need to worry...

Hello, My first kitten is now 1 year old and she has mainly eaten a premium dry food and I'd give her a little wet a few times a week.  Now I have a new kitten and have learned more and more about wet food so I started giving them a little premium wet food twice a day- only about 2 oz  each...

Thank you thecatsite.com!  It is because of you and my original posting of my first kitten that I ended up with my new second kitten I've been dreaming of since I got the first.  See below for pics.  Here's the story.  I've wanted a second Siberian (I'm allergic to most cats, but not...

Hello, Any tips? I brought home my 10 week old kitten and I have a tall sturdy sisal scratcher, a cat tree with sisal, and 3 corrugated scratchers (incline and flat).  I don't have a carpet scratcher though.  I've tried rubbing cat nip on them and showing her how I scratch it.  She's still...
