That's good advice. I don't clean out the litterbox but yes, I do handle meat during cooking and also when feeding the cats. Wearing gloves does make sense.

Thank you for the helpful info!!

So I've been feeding a combination of raw whole with bone, raw ground and occasional canned food to my two indoor-only cats for over 6 months. It took a while to transition completely out of dry but it's been going good for them. I always freeze raw food for at least 4-5 days before I feed the...

Hi All, About a year ago, I began to transition my two cats off of kibble. First, I moved them onto a good quality canned food and then slowly brought on some raw meat. They HATE the ground raw diet but love regular raw chunks. I started with just small pieces of chicken meat, no bones and they...

LOL!

Thank you so much for your helpful comment! He seems to be doing okay... Even played with me for a while :D but I'll keep an eye on him. And I think bathing him again tomorrow might be a good idea. He still smells of curry. :(

The worst thing that could have ever happened, did. Ever since I started working from home, Winter has become really cuddly - I don't know why but he follows me EVERYWHERE and wants attention all the time. It's mostly cute and I give in and give him a few belly rubs and a lot of stroking. So he...

Thanks for your response, Willowy! It's a local butcher's shop and they are all about selling only fresh meat. They called me prior and said their shipment of quails was delayed which is why they had to move my order to the next day. I did a bit of reading online and it appears that if I make...

I had ordered some fresh quail and rabbit but the delivery service came a day late and I wasn't able to freeze the meat for at least 24 hours before feeding to kill any potential toxoplasmosis. Winter and Autumn were really hungry and I just gave them the quail as soon as it arrived. My...

Both my cats demonstrated some really weird behaviour today. I was in the kitchen and I noticed that my cats found some interesting scent on the floor and seemed to really enjoy it - they started rolling and rubbing against the floor only at a specific spot! I've never bought catnip and neither...

I did actually and told him everything about what happened. Actually, he runs a pet shop with a variety of birds, fish hamsters etc. Cats are just one of the many animals he stocks so hes a businessman rather than a breeder. I told him that I had done a lot of research and that 1. The cats I...

the vet said that the kittens were underweight to begin with and the mother was quite neglectful. She even refused to feed a few of the kittens. The surviving kitten was very aggressive with nursing. She would make sure that she got her fill even if it meant pushing away the other kittens. We...

Hi all this is an old post but I just thought I'd give you all an update. I've got the male cat neutered as well and we've never been more at peace. Why did I think so many times before I did this? He's the sweetest most loving cat now and best of all there's no more spraying! Additionally, he...

No, I'm going to keep them with me. I have a close friend who is very passionate about cats and she takes really good care of her cats. She wanted to get one more. I might give one to her if it gets too hard to manage. I know! it turned out really bad - not just for the cats but for my entire...
