Thanks Mimi.. I have finally realised that I was being a bit too ambitious expecting it to be all plain sailing after such a short time.. patience, patience, patience! I have no doubt they will learn to live side by side after having read David's Steph's post. Today was actually not too bad...

Thanks so much David's Steph.. you have given me a reason to be hopeful ! Even if it takes a year it will be worth it - wow, 12 years later and best buddies.. that is fantastic!! Very heartening.. thank you!

Thanks for the advice Mani.. it is not something with which I am familiar, but I am definitely going to look into it! I will try anything to achieve a peaceful home once more.. thanks again!

I am at the end of my tether as I have never had this problem before. I have a 5 year old resident male Sphynx (Caluga) and on 1 March my other 5 year old male Sphynx (Molly) died of HCM. Caluga seemed lonely, so after about a month I adopted an adult female 6 year old Sphynx (Soso). They are...

Thanks so much Feralvr . You are SO right.. I never knew I could get such a thrill watching a cat devour her raw meals . I have never seen anything like it - she literally knocks me over while I am preparing her food. Yesterday I had left some frozen gizzards out for my dog and I had forgotten...

Thanks LDG . Orijen it is.. I WISH we had the selection that is available to the kitty folks in USA  but I suppose I should be grateful for the little we have as it has only been a few months that we have had the Acana and Orijen in the country. Before that it was the Hills/RC type food that we...

Thanks for all the help  - this is such a helpful place. You are completely right about the Sphynx in that they need more calories and it can be difficult to keep the weight on them. I am unable to free feed as my resident cat Caluga will literally gobble the kibble and then not even a minute...

Hi all.. I posted a little while ago about transitioning my Caluga to raw as I was adopting an adult, raw fed cat. Well.. she arrived 2 nights ago and on a side note she is a little beauty. I had left the transitioning with Caluga until Soso's (new cat) arrival and I have been mixing in one...

This!! Exactly what I have been thinking! Well.. she arrives sometime this coming week so I am   !!!

Thanks Feralvr .. nice to know we are not alone! Patience is a virtue for sure!!

Thanks all! I think I was being way too optimistic.. also, the notes on Giveadogabone's website suggested transitioning over a period of 4 days which I find a bit unrealistic. I found that by doing what I was doing, I was comprimising my relationship with Caluga which is totally...

Help..   I think I spoke too soon. Caluga ate his raw/wet meal last night. He ate nothing at breakfast time and it is now dinner time and is is not remotely interested . I just don't know what to do.. he has not stopped crying for hours now. Do I give in???? I was in contact with the breeder who...

Thanks LDG.. I am so holding thumbs   and thank you very much for the support!!

Thanks Feralvr! I am happy to report that Caluga had a 50/50 meal tonight with his wet food and the new pre-made raw I bought today and he finished the whole plate, so I am holding thumbs that it continues like that!!

Thanks so much for the responses . Didn't think I would be back so soon, eek! I need a bit of advice. Last night I gave Caluga 75% wet food and 25% chicken gizzards and he pretty much ate quite a bit, although not all. He even ate some of the raw gizzards - probably unknowingly! This morning I...
