I see that you are feeding them Raw Instinct dry food. I'm not sure what brand that you are feeing in wet (or if the wet is Raw), but if you go to the Nature's Variety website, they have a useful feeding guidelines calculator that may help you in answering this question. The link is below...

Not necessarily. While I certainly don't have the scientifically accurate answer to this inquiry, the digestive system of cats is entirely different from that of human beings. This is why a raw diet is safe for cats and dogs and NOT safe for us people. Their digestive tract clears itself much...

I started another thread looking for a new food for my kitties, but thought I'd jump in here because I thought that in light of my difficulties finding a replacement food for my babies due to the recall of the Nutro cans (the only thing they have ever eaten in their lives), I would try...

Thanks!!! Any suggestions that you can give me that will help me in transitioning them would be most helpful! Unfortunately, I will probably never be able to enlist them in a raw diet that is 100% because of the fact that I need to rely on dry food when I travel (it is far to cost prohibitive...

Thanks all of you for your suggestions! I seem to have helped launch a larger debate which I'll join for a moment (since I opened the forum ). I do not personally believe that dry food is better, as it is unlike anything they would eat in the wild (not that my babies know anything of living...

Checking out the site now. thanks so much for the tip!

Thanks, Pat & Alix. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of transitioning as advised (as you may know from my earlier post) as a result o the cat food recall. I'm just desperately searching for something that my babies will take to! All this recall stuff has me sick to my stomach, so i'm...

Are there any mommies and daddies out there feeding their kitties this product? I found their site on-line and am thinking of trying. Here's their site, just in case: http://www.thehonestkitchen.com/index.shtml Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks, Beandip. I will look into it. Please, all, keep the suggestions coming - i think it might take us a few attempts to find the one my babies love!

"Stacy, if seafood is okay, take a look at the tiki cat line and wureva (may be mis-spelling this, if that isn't it, try wueruva)" Thank you so much for the suggestion, and the reminder that I should have mentioned that I do not feed them seafood because it is not something that would be part...

Hello! I adopted two precious babies 3 years ago as kittens. From the time they were rescued, they were on a controlled (twice daily) diet of Nutro Max Cat canned food. It is all they have ever eaten, and they love this cuts and gravy style food. When the recall was announced, Nutro Max Cat...

Hi there! I am the proud mama of two wonderful kitties who like to claw my chenille upholstered sofa and loveseat. It's obviously not my favorite of their habits and I've tried putting scratching posts nearby, scented deterrents, and double stick tape, but nothing seems to work. They don't do...

I feel your pain. My Linus is the same way, and he also has his sister to keep him company. The two of them love one another and play very well together, but it's not the same as the bond that he and I have, and whenever I am home, he needs to be right where I am (preferably ON me, but if...

Thank you both for your replies! Linus and Lola are neutered/spayed, so it's not that. the more I think about it, I'm inclined to think that it is a response to a loud noise rather than of someone being in my apartment. While it is possible that my super came in unattended, I tend to have a...

I'm sorry to hear that Alfred is gone, but it is so nice that his final moments were such loving and thoughtful ones with you and your mom. Sounds like his fear may be more about his carrier than the vet (since the behavior occurred consistently with the carrier). To that end, I would like to...
