Since your cat is allergic and resistant to switching, you could try using an appetite stimulant prescribed by the vet called "periactin". It is used to treat cats with allergies but also increases their appetites. 

I have 4 cats, 2 Ragdolls, 2 Persians raised from the time they were kittens on raw food. They are 4 years old now and are doing great with lots of energy. It's extra work having to make sure the food is eaten before it spoils, but I am willing to put in the extra time and effort. The previous 4...

I gave up on First Mate. Their quality is inconsistent. I also gave up on Tikicat since the only ones I could ever find all had fish. Feeding too much fish is not good for cats. I now feed all of my cats commercial raw food. No vomiting for past few years and odorless stools. It is interesting...

I gave up. Firstmate sent me this long e-mail justifying the inconsistency in their quality. Since then I have switched to commercial raw and haven't looked back

Turkey, Chicken&Salmon, Lamb, Rabbit Turkey is the cheapest and a favorite of my forever hungry ragdoll. Rabbit is by far the most expensive in these parts.

Hi All, I have a silver Chinchilla Persian who is coming up on three years of age. Ever since he was 6 months old he has tried mating with at least one of our other cats, typical mounting and grabbing by the scruff of the neck. We had him neutered at 6 1/2 months but he is still doing it. He's...

You could try getting your cat to eat this food: http://www.k9natural.com/cat-food/107-FD-125G-DOM-FDF/Feline-Freeze-Dried-Chicken-and-Lamb.html or this http://www.onlynaturalpet.com/products/Stella-Chewys-Grain-Free-Freeze-Dried-Cat-Food/300058.aspx. This food mimics dry kibble, especially if...

My overall experience is that Tiki cat can become available as Pet stores in BC can order it in from the main importer: http://www.pacificpet.ca/product.aspx?Itemno=875-00770  That said, even getting it in, they have NEVER had the simple chicken flavor, not even the main importer. Most of the...

There is a frozen container that sits under a metal dish and keeps raw food from spoiling for around 3 or 4 hours. http://www.frostybowlz.com/FrostyBowlz_Chilled_Pet_Bowl_p/3700.htm I guess an ice pack would do, though the frosty bowl, as it is called, fits right together maximizing the cold...

I have two ragdolls and two persians that are exclusively on a pre-prepared raw food diet. On the odd occassion my femlae ragdoll would throw up. I believe it was because she was eating too much, too fast. We also found out the hard way that leaving the food out for more than 30 minutes was a...

I am going through this with my 23 week old Ragdoll, Charlie. Charlie came to us @ 8 weeks and was a dry food addict. In the first 2 months we switched him to grain-free dry, Orijen and at the same time, I was able to get him to eat commercially frozen raw chicken&salmon, Turkey by sprinkling...

Yes, I have found lamb is VERY high on fat content, I got into it since our five 1/2 month old Ragdoll male likes Feline Natural freeze dried chicken and lamb. He also likes eating commercial frozen raw lamb.  I tried giving it to one of my other male persians and he got really loose stools, so...

I feed my 5 month old ragdoll Feline Natural, same manufacturer as K9, Freeze dried chicken and lamb. Since he was a dry food addict, it has been a good way for him to switch to raw. Feline Natural is awesome since it has no undesirable added extras, just chicken, lamb, bone and green lipped...

Hi Guys, after 1 week of raw feeding, our 15 year old persian started throwing up the lamb we were feeding her. We switched her back to canned and her throwing up and yowling was worse. We have now switched her back to raw, in this case Turkey, which is a commercially sold pet food. She is...

if the bones are ground up well enough, it should be OK. That said, every now and then even our adult kitties have a bloody stool most probably from a bone coming out their rear end. We try to pick the bigger ones out. Eggshell sounds like a good idea. 

liver and heart have taurine and that is a good thing for your kitties.....they need other stuff like calcium which can be in the form of ground bone which is in the commercially frozen chicken and turkey we give our kitties. They add other stuff like vitamin E and Salmon oil etc.

I must confess that I am having to hand feed our senior the raw. Not the most pleasant thing to be doing for me, but It's now been over a week since she last threw up. She is throwing up every other day on a high end canned food. That's so sweet that you keep some freeze dried ready for your...

you might either think about getting a complete commercially prepared frozen raw diet as those come with the necessary supplements already added or buying additional supplements to add to the raw you are starting to give your kitties

Hi, Petwellness Kidney drops and Smooth BM http://www.petwellbeing.com/st/cat-kidney-disease-1.html http://www.petwellbeing.com/products/maris-for-felines

Thanks for sharing the link. I had read through Dr. Pierson's website prior, but it was good to re-read her chart on the phosphorous content according to kind of raw meat. Lamb was the lowest compared to chicken and turkey and the calcium comes from an added suppliment derived from Algae.. Good...
