    I haven’t shown….

    Could we make a new category dedicated to show questions? I bet people would love to know tips and tricks on keeping cats looking show ready, upkeep, how to get them used to being in a show ring, grooming tools you recommend, etc etc. There are so many ways you can be helpful here too, I took...

    Does anyone have experience with Melatonin implants for birth control?

    Melatonin injection for birth control... Naturally, I'm intrigued but cautious. As an owner of a CFA cattery, I do my diligence in keeping the queens separate from the toms as needed, but the thought of having a BC injection once a year to keep the accidental litter out of the question is...

    Looking For Something I'm Not Sure Exists

    I started experimenting I finalized my wet food recipe, but it was only supposed to be for moisture intake. Well now, none of the cats want any other wet food but the homemade stuff. I use a meat and usually beef liver as the organ and a little bit of starch as a thickener. Would you say...

    I could wait until he's older but does this look like a Blue Golden to you??

    First off, apologies on the dirty blanket, my queen just had her litter, and I wait a few days before laying fresh blankets down. This is the first time I'm seeing these colors! Used my new stud for the first time and he surprised me. Last litter my himie had was tabby, white, lynx point...

    Shared placenta; 1 kitten born and placenta expelled, second kitten still attached and inside. Help?

    Crisis averted, looks like I was mistaken! 7 healthy kittens, one set of twins! (I assumed kitten #7 might be attached to a second twin, #8, by the placenta) But looks like I'm just super tired and didn't check diligently enough.

    Is there a way to create 'gravy' in wet cat food?

    As of right now, no; this isn't a replacement meal and is being used for moisture intake. All our cats free feed on Orijen Cat & Kitten or whatever it's called now, along with a generous topping of stella and chewys freeze dried morsels. The wet food is solely for moisture intake. I may...

    Is there a way to create 'gravy' in wet cat food?

    I did just about exactly this for the home canning, I raw packed then after taking it out, I have been processing it in my food processor with warm water and it's almost doubled in amount and turns into a super thick soupy consistency that my cats went crazy for. I was actually trying to...

    Is there a way to create 'gravy' in wet cat food?

    I love ALL of this, thank you! Do you usually cook chicken with or without the bones for the jelly broth? I'm assuming with then removed later? Not worried about rice, I've actually been trying to experiential with rice flour for the gravy base. I'm liking your methods and have been doing...

    Is there a way to create 'gravy' in wet cat food?

    I always water down pates too, but I'm mainly hoping I can get into making my own wet food entirely. I've actually started the journey and have had a few trial and error runs so far. Bought a pressure canner and everything so I can get chicken, pork, etc on sale and can it the moment I get...

    Is there a way to create 'gravy' in wet cat food?

    I usually do this already, just a couple tbspn to add a little bit of moisture but not enough for them to notice. Because they certainly do!

    Is there a way to create 'gravy' in wet cat food?

    So I have more cats than I'd care to admit. I own a cattery and I go through 6-8 5oz things of wet food minimum a night to give everyone a couple spoonfuls but man is it expensive! All my cats are on Orijen Cat and Kitten plus Stella and Chewys freeze dried morsels as a topper. Sometimes I...
