Wow. I can't believe it's been so many months since I last visited The Cat Site, especially given all the extremely important help I found here back when I really needed it about a year ago.  Chalk it up to the facts that 1) things have been going well for my cats - yes, including my severely...

Thank you for your kind thoughts and words, Lesley.  My wife and I have gotten our "problem child" (Bear, whose picture as a kitten serves as my avatar) eating again, but still at nowhere near normal amounts and we're still holding our breath hoping that another down cycle isn't going to occur...

Thanks for the suggestion, Abby.  And the good intention, Rosalie!  And the important cautionary note, mschauer!  :^] This is such a useful online community, I only wish I'd found it sooner! Gerry

I'm sorry but of course not surprised to hear about your troubles with Feline's Pride, Ralphie and Lester.  (And I'm especially sorry to hear you don't have the ability to get your money back through your card issuer, Lester, as I very much doubt Feline's Pride will ever refund it even if they...

Thanks, Anne!  I now have my boy past the illness phase and eating again (back to the Primal Feline Rabbit Formula, which he still doesn't seem to care for very much), so in another week or so I'll be trying the Hare Today Ground Rabbit/Bones/Organs again.  I'll read up on things at Dr...

Huh, I caught that you were talking about the Primal Pronto bites rather than the larger nuggets of the plain Primal, LisaMarie, but I assumed they were formulated (and so would be viewed by cats as) essentially the same.  Thanks for the tip that your cat considers them different!  I'll...

Thanks, LisaMarie! Yeah, that and the higher protein/lower fat content are why I decided to try Primal's Rabbit Formula when Feline's Pride left me and my problem cat in the lurch, and perhaps why said cat has done well on it.  It was a disappointment to find that he dislikes the Primal Rabbit...

I (and apparently many others) can certainly vouch for the fact that they aren't being responsive to customer concerns, and for the fact that they will occasionally acknowledge problems and claim to have fixed them when actually they haven't.  Not only have I never received the food I ordered -...

Based on today's mail, I've a correction to make about my recent update on my effort to get my money back from Feline's Pride (recall they never sent me the cat food I ordered nor refunded the nearly $400 I paid them for it in early January, despite stringing me along for a lengthy period by...

Yes, Rich, you were clear about how brief your recent problem was with Feline's Pride.  As I said, I hope your good luck with the company continues past your first few experiences (two so far? three? your posts seem to say different things in different places), though I would frankly be quite...

I'm glad you finally got your order (this time), Rich.  And if you continue to deal with Feline's Pride, I hope they somehow manage to serve you well, too.  I don't in the least expect it, however. The woman who aggressively represented herself to me as being in charge of the company, and who...

Nope, not informally.  The nutritional analyses I've done were formal laboratory analyses, which I subsequently formally wrote up as part of wildlife studies I conducted.  (In this part of those studies I was examining the nutritional content of each of a wide variety of food items that I'd...

I'm afraid my own experience in conducting nutritional analyses prevents me from agreeing with you about it being cost-prohibitive, LDG, but I'm happy to agree to disagree.  :^ /  I'm sure we agree on way more than we disagree on, anyway. And I'll put contacting Hare Today about their links to...

Sorry, LDG, but I really don't know where you're coming from in your last post.  I suppose it's probably just the difficulty of communicating in this medium, and we really hold much the same views... To clarify where I'm coming from: There is simply no question that there is a significant...

I'm not on Facebook, Maureen, so I haven't been privy to Feline's Pride's complete meltdown - only my own unhappy part in it.  I suppose that by now just about everyone who used to depend on the company knows it's no longer dependable (even if they don't yet know the full extent of the company's...

I'm not so sure about Feline's Pride not having undergone a change of ownership in addition to having closed one of its two distribution centers (the one in FL remains open, the one in NY was recently closed), Maureen.  Their website changed within the past month such that it no longer says...

Thanks for clarifying, LDG.  We must have been writing our posts at the same time. Gerry

newvillemom, your post prompts me to make it clear that I was only speaking about raw meat cat food (as that's apparently what lindenhall57's vet was addressing), not freeze-dried raw meat cat food.  That being said, I can't imagine how using freeze-dried cat food could cause constipation...

My wife and I are wildlife biologists who have worked mostly with carnivores, including felids.  Folks' comments above about cats being evolutionarily designed to consume raw animal flesh without taking harm from it are spot on.  There's also scientific evidence demonstrating that they do better...
