    Chicken and Turkey necks

    So it seems my cat is turning her nose up at her regular chicken wings in her home-made raw batches I've been making. I thought I would give turkey necks a try, and she loves them! However I've heard we can't rely on necks due to the hormones in them. I want to keep giving her bone, but she...

    Newbie - balancing a raw diet

    Hello, Newbie to raw feeding so please excuse the "stupid/silly question" :) I'm venturing into raw, and have recently picked up some local raw cat food, which is prepared turkey and organs. They come in 4 oz chunks, which I understand would be a good daily amount to start for an indoor cat. I...

    Composting kitty litter?

    Hello, I've been wondering if it's possible to compost used kitty litter? I use Dr. Elsey's Scoopable clay litter. Our recycling program is pretty awesome, which allows us to throw kitchen scraps (including meat and bones), into the composting bins.  Would the clay litter eventually break down...

    Feeding raw and canned for a complete diet?

    Hello raw-feeders! I've searched the forums and couldn't find much, so thought I would ask here. I would like to feed my 2.5 year old cat raw and canned food. My plan was for one meal to be canned, and the other, a raw meal which would either by: chicken neck, chicken wing, or turkey heart...

    Freeze dried Chicken Necks

    Hi Guys, I've been offering our cat some raw chicken wings and she loves them! I found some freeze dried chicken necks and thought to give them a try too and she loves them as well! I guess I'm looking for opinions on this option. Not as a full meal per say, as they are only roughly 50...

    Eating chicken wings, raw?

    Hi Everyone, Forgive me if this is a newbie question: Can I give my cat a raw chicken wing (mini, about 4 inches long), as is, with skin and bones? I gave Nora a wing the other day because I've been introducing raw to her and she loves chicken breast! When she started to crunch into the bones...

    Seasonal behaviours for my spayed 2 year old?

    Hi everyone, These past few weeks, my 2 year old female has been very focal and restless. She's spayed, and other wise seems healthy: eats, plays and uses the litter box as normal. Lately she seems restless, follows me around the house and has become very vocal! She's a vocal cat to begin...

    Was feeding a rotation to prevent "pickiness" but my cat is now picky!

    Uggh! I was, and still am feeding a rotation of canned food to prevent her from becoming picky, but now she's picky! It's been a few weeks now, ever since I introduced Weruva pouches! It's like she's "had the good stuff" and doesn't want anything else! She'll eventually eat what's in front of...

    Switched to 100% canned, but...

    Hi guys, I'm probably over thinking this, but I guess I just need your input and confirmation... I finally switched Nora to 100% canned diet a few weeks back. Yippee! It literally took months, and at times I didn't think it was going to work. Long story short, she went from free fed dry at the...

    Happy 2nd Birthday Nora! She loved her Birthday cake hehe..

    It's Nora's second birthday today, and we adopted her almost a year ago (10 days from now to be exact!). We searched the local rescue shelters for months, waiting for the right cat to find us. She is such a good cat! Wakes us up after the alarm goes off for breakfast, and greets us at the door...

    Switching foods, and noticing a difference in pop!

    Hello! I've decided to switch Nora's dry food for a couple of reasons but mainly because she always seems hungry. She gets 1/4 cup of dry for breakfast and 3oz of wet in the late afternoon (for the record, she will not tolerate a full wet diet - tried it, she refused, so she gets 50/50). Long...

    CET toothbrush replacements

    Does anyone know where I can get, or order just the toothbrush (shown in the above picture)? Just started using this, and it's great, but the toothbrush is starting to fray because she tends to want to chew on it after we brush her teeth. I don't want to buy a whole new "kit" because I have tons...

    Hello, I'm probably fussing over nothing, but wanted hear from you guys: My 18 month old female cat, Nora, went for her FVRCP vaccine on Tuesday at 1:30. She seemed totally fine for the next couple of hours and days afterwards. However yesterday she really didn't seem herself. She ate...

    Can't seem to switch to a natural food

    Hello everyone, I can't seem to find a "natural" (no fillers, by-products, corn etc) food for my cat, that agrees with her stomach. I adopted her roughly 6 months ago, and she was eating Purina Pro Plan Indoor turkey (dry) only. I didn't/don't like the ingredients one bit so I wanted to change...

    Dropping a favourite toy into the water dish??

    Hi all! Lately  my cat has been dropping her favourite mouse toy into her water dish. Sometimes she leaves it in there, while other times she'll take it out, and drop it beside the water dish. This has been a daily thing for the past 4-5 days. Anyone else experience this? I've read some...

    Hello everyone! I'm new to this site and thought I would start by asking for advice. Here's the scoop: We adopted a one year old medium haired tabby about 5 months ago. She came with a bag of Purina pro plan dry indoor turkey and rice. I know a bit about cat food and knew right away that i...
