so she would need a cup a day! I wonder why it's so low calorie? Small update: she's doing well, I managed to look in her ears and she definitely has ear mites. I havn't been able to take her to the vet yet though. How bad would it be if I only fed her one kind of protein? I noticed they have...

I'm going to bring her into the vet anyways to get her checked out for ear mites. I didn't notice anything unusual (and thought if she had them they would have told me since I had her spayed, vaccinated, and flea/tick treated), but last night she started shaking her head and scratching at her...

Very true! If it were up to me, she wouldn't be getting any treats, we never give our cats treats until she we adopted our most recent cats, so she associates that with giving them love, and she's pretty good but she gives in when the cats act cute for her. It's tough because she doesn't really...

I noticed an ad for the honest kitchen, and it looks pretty interesting, and it would be feasible since 1 box would last a long time with her and I wouldn't be feeding her any junky stuff, but I noticed it does the thing that a lot of pet food does these days, and lists a bunch of ingredients...

Sorry this thread is mostly just me talking to myself at this point! I was browsing others raw food threads, and seeing the options for making my own food looks really interesting, but I am pretty wary of making my own cat food. Mainly for the same reason I am wary of human supplements. I don't...

I've tried it and the cats didn't touch it, but our cats are extremely picky about their food. I use the cat food database whenever I'm researching cat food. Here's the page for Crave. It actually looks pretty good, especially for the price (their ratings system is pretty confusing, but if...

I've seen this often enough where I don't think it's trolling. It's people wanting to do the right thing, but are very, very misinformed. Or mislead by websites trying to sell their own vegan pet food products/recipes. Not everyone does research on their pets (in my experience, I'd say very...

Thank you for the advice! I have been doing some trial an error over the past few days, and I'm starting to think that her problem with rejecting certain canned foods (regardless of how cheap or expensive it is) is that she doesn't like the texture of pate food. When I've put pate food down...

ok so I lied, I was organizing the cans and she started pacing around the room and crying, so I thought it couldn't hurt to have her try one of the new ones. So I opened up one of the little less than 3 oz wellness cans I got on sale and it started out promising the way she was begging, and a...

I stopped by petco today and went through all of their sales. I did go over budget, (~$20 for 14 days worth of food if I only fed her wet food) but all of the brands are high quality and grain free, and friskies is significantly under budget, so I think I can use that to sorta pad it out, and...

He's still growing and because he's a ragdoll, it'll be about 4 years until he's fully grown (extra large breeds like ragdolls, maine coons, siberians, etc. need more time to grow). If you portion control his meals, then it shouldn't matter if he eats it all at once or throughout the day, but...

I did give her some kibble this morning because she didn't touch her wet food (which I gave her as her dinner last night). She did eat the kibble though, so it's good to know she will eat, she's just being picky about it. Looks like she'll be a little tougher to transition than I thought. Either...

I got a friendship collar for my cat because the idea is too cute to resist (kitty gets a collar, you get a matching bracelet) and it's made out of a very soft vegan leather, so even it does get caught in her mouth, she might be able to chew her way out, and I don't think it would cut into her...

I went to Aldis today and checked out their store brand, one very strange thing I noticed was that their brand (heart to tail) the 5.5 oz cans were cheaper than the 3 oz cans! So I checked the ingredients of their so called "premium" 5.oz canned food made with real turkey. Well.... I'm sure...

Hey everyone! I discovered these forums while researching cat food, so I thought this would be the best place to get some answers... I more or less "adopted" a stray cat that was living in the area. She was literally starving to death when I started feeding her. Now that I've brought her in the...
