    Too much angst with pet food!

    I have never picked up a single bit of food from my cat based on his aversion to it. He eats everything I put in front of him because of this. Canned foods, dry foods, human foods/meat leftovers. As a lifetime dog owner and knowing how spoiled dogs will train their humans to spoil them with junk...

    Do you rotate your cats' food?

    My cat is a pig and loves to eat everything with gusto: Home cooked whole chickens with organs, bones and a pinch of ground and cooked mixed veggies mixed in = use it as a higher quality and more nutritious food to mix in with his canned Human food meat of all types  = every time I cook I...

    Litter that is flushable?

    I don't think it is. I keep it next to the toilet in my master bath which is close to my bedroom and I never have dust issues on the tops of the floor boards around the box.. I always make sure to place the pour spout right on top of the existing litter when I pour it, so it never has a chance...

    Litter that is flushable?

    I use Cats Pride and love it. It comes in the plastic container with the handle. It is fine like sand, covers odors well, clumps, flushes great and has no nasty perfume odors. The clumps dissolve as soon as it hits the water. You have to turn them around and look on the back of the containers...

    Adult Teeth Issue in 7 month old Need Advice on Surgery

    Thanks all for the info and advice. I am going to cancel his appointment and wait a month to see if the wound on his  lip heals - based on the other thread someone posted here who said theirs did heal. I agree that the specialist is going overboard and I still have not received an estimate, so...

    Adult Teeth Issue in 7 month old Need Advice on Surgery

    Thank you for that link. I searched all over and couldn't find anything on the issue. the people on that thread had the exact same problem, so I read every post. I see someone mentioned that the cat will require a root canal if the tooth is filed down, not sure why? I thought root canals were...

    Adult Teeth Issue in 7 month old Need Advice on Surgery

    I posted earlier about my 7 mo Siamese who had 2 kitten upper k9s that just fell out at 7 mo. Well, since they fell out, the upper k9 one side is mal positioned and recently cause the lower k9 on that side to push outward from the jaw, piercing a hole into his upper lip. The vet had a name for...

    What should I feed her?

    I use the whole prey cooked food to mix with his rotated canned food. It just ads a higher quality protein source, ads more variety to the diet, and increases the quality of the canned food while decreasing the cost per lb or oz. The important thing for me is the addition of fresh, minimally...

    What should I feed her?

    I just got done making a batch this morning. I just shred the chicken with 2 forks. Once the bones are soft, they get mashed by hand then put in the food processor. The giblets, livers and organs also go in the processor. My cat eats everything I put in front of it, so he doesn't mind the...

    What should I feed her?

    If you have a pressure cooker, you can cook down whole carcasses of chicken including the bones  and organs. The bones turn soft, just like the bones in cans of sardines. You can also do this with a slow cooker, but it takes a lot longer to cook down the bones. Its more complete feeding the...

    Big Lots had Nutro in again

    Tonight my Big Lots had a shipment of canned Nutro cat and kitten food in. Only 50 cents for 5.5 oz cans, which makes it almost half the price of inexpensive brands like Sheba and Fancy Feast. I am in SC, you might want to check your local stores.

    Trader Joe's Cat Food?

    I just bought some TJ canned food and tuna for cats. I forget the price of the canned food, but the tuna was 47 cents per can, either 5.5 or 6 oz. Unfortunately my cat had developed diarrhea. He splattered it all over 4 feet up the wall by the litter box 2 times, and when he goes  #2 it is so...

    what's your favorite cat litter?

    I have been using Cats Pride scoopable and flushable and really like it. I get it at Big Lots or Wal Mart Marketplace grocery.  It has no heavy perfumes and hides odor very well. It is a very fine consistency, like sand. I keep it right next to a toilet in my master bath and it flushes and...

    Cat Testing a Dog

    I own a Doberman that was raised as a guard dog on my land, chasing away any groundhogs, and going after stray cats or other animals. She also acts unfriendly towards stray cats on walks and when they enter into her yard. She is a very intelligent dog with a high desire to please me and protect...

    7 month old kitten bad breath, retained teeth

    Thanks for the article. Im kicking myself now for not having the vet look at them - he was just in for a neuter and she already had him knocked out on the table for that. I guess I will have to take him back in another month or  so if they are still retained.
