That's ridiculous. Why would they say that just because a cat has fiv? Would they like to be put down if they have an illness? Plus they can and do live perfectly happy healthy lives. The ignorance of some people is sickening. Omg.

I'll let others answer more in details because I'm worried about this same thing. But make sure they don't use a certain antibiotic, I can't remember the name right now, I'll try and look it up, but it's a long acting one, like it stays in their bodies for a long time and MANY people's cats were...

I've been putting it in my hot drinks -he never goes to that area where I make them but there may be trace amounts on my hand or in that area. Is that harmful to cats? I also read that you can make home air freshener with just water and vanilla - again just a small amount diluted with lots of...

If you order from Chewy and get the autoship delivery you save 5 or 10% depending on the brand. It's not a huge amount but it's something. Or possibly if you order by the case at your local place they may give a discount. Sometimes if you email or talk to the pet food company, especially if you...

Maybe you can't put pictures in the article section? I see what you mean, the "Image" option looks the same as the link option. I suppose you could put your picture on a picture hosting site & put the link but that's not as quick and easy.

Thanks everyone for the support. I really needed that. Pi has FIV. I tried feeding only canned/wet food but felt he needed more fat & nutritious fluids. Then I tried transitioning to all home cooked - chicken breasts, thighs and duck. When I did that I added Balance-it supplement (the plainest...

Oh, I just re-read what you wrote. Somehow I missed about only eating the home cooked and not the regular cat food. I think I get what you mean now. :)

Hi LTS3 Thank you so much for that info. That is all very helpful and gives me a good idea of how I will cook it. I think I'm going to just go ahead and get a camp stove for now because I wanted one anyway. So basically I will have a regular burner and use a pan or possibly an enameled pot. I'll...

Thank you kittylove14 that's good to know! For Pi it would ideally be about 1/4 of his food, maybe even less. I just like to give him bits of fresh cooked stuff because he seems to feel better and it cheers him up. Sometimes I give him duck breast because he can always use a bit of extra fat now...

No, I'm not suggesting a raw diet at all. Just that on the Lisa Pierson site she also has general info about diet but I think you have your hands full at the moment-maybe skip that site for now. I'm far too afraid to feed my cat any raw food, I totally cook the chicken. In fact I'm too afraid...

:grouphug: You'll figure it out. Just have some quiet peaceful days maybe & regroup. Maybe play some quiet classical music or something for all of you. I like these or some Mozart. Relax My Cat - Relaxing Music for Cats Cat Purring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWVaqk4H7b0 And give...

Oh wow! That's excellent to hear, thank you so much! It does look amazingly sturdy in your picture. And I must say your cat looks gorgeous sitting there. :wink: This is the one I'm thinking of. It's basically the mondo but with a slightly bigger bed and a little step thing. Sorry I don't know...

That's so frightening. It's happened with my cat a few times so I totally relate to the awful sick panic. I learned too (from also screaming once - same- I think he was walking back then freaked when I screamed and darted) to try to act casual and act like you are just calling them playfully...

I did find one thread from a few years ago & it sounds postive so I'll probably go ahead and get it. But if anyone does have experience with them I'd still like to know it you are happy with them. My little guy is mainly indoor and I really need to get him more stuff to climb and claw. (And...
