All of these postings have made me realize how inadequate I am. How I know nothing. How, I need to learn before I even attempt to start this. I should never have posted that video, because obviously the guy's a jerk and I didn't realize it. I'm going back to Purina Pro plan Cappy does well on...

What, in yuor opinion would make it more balanced? I want to do the best for my cat. So far, I've used those ingredients, but what should I add? bone meal? liver? Today I'm going to add some gelatin bone broth that I made (with grass fed beef bones) because I know it has lots of minerals and is...

 I apologize for posting the video - I thought it was helpful, but I guess it ignited a firestorm and I really don't understand why. (I thought he was trying for 'fun', like those funny chef guys,)  I've read a whole lot of the raw food meals and recipes mentioned on this site, and I really...

I think you guys are a little hard on that Paleopet guy. I liked his sense of humour. I would not call what he says dangerous without reading all of his recipes. The one in the video is only one of many. 

Thanks for your thoughts. :) And I agree with you about the grocery store meats. (Here in Canada we've just had a huge grocery store recall of beef for e-coli!) I never buy meat from the grocery store for us, so I wouldn't buy it for my cat. We only buy local organic meat from a farm we know. In...

Me again :) and I have lots of questions.  I've been perusing many raw food cat site recipes, and some links here. I guess bone meal is a good addition for calcium? And L-Taurine? I will also get some liver, and freeze it and cut it up small. I have a meat grinder, but I have no desire to make...

I would say to watch the video because I didn't mention everything he talks about, and also his reasoning for including things. And his diet does have a lot of variation - salmon and chicken and beef and other raw things, and you can vary them day by day. This is his website: http://www.paleopet.com

In the past two days only!! I've started switching Cappy to a raw foods diet. This video was recommended to me:  And I followed the recipe  - the only thing I don't have -yet- is the wheat grass (I need to grow it! I just got the kit from Global Pet Foods.) So far he loves his raw food meal...

Thanks! I think we're going to transition him - not that he'll mind. He gobbles up raw meat like nobody's business. I don't know if I'm allowed to post links to things here, (I couldn't find that anywhere on the site, but I think I remember reading it - or maybe it was for another forum!) but...

Due to some ongoing 'people' health issues, around 6 months ago my hubby and I completely changed our own diet and eating - with remarkable results. We're eating a Paleo type diet (no grains, no processed food - just 'real' food). And so lately of course, we've been thinking about our 4 year...

Have any of you ever tried these Cat DVDs? Just wondering how my Cappy might like them. Lin

We may have found the answer to our own cat scratching nightmare - and I feel your pain! I started another thread some time ago, and my question was your question. We have a brand new couch and chair (and as you know - new furniture is NOT cheap), and I was beside myself! I tried the double...

I'm writing again on this thread that I started a few months ago. My cat is STILL scratching our new couch and chair and we have tried everything. I live in Canada and our Petsmart doesn't have Sticky Paws, but something like Sticky Paws but put out by a company called Whisker City. He just...

Well, we bought a new sofa and chair that Cappy loves to scratch. Someone here suggested sticky paws tape. So we got some, and it 'seemed' to work, but I was confounded by the piles of clumped up sticky tape that I would find underneath the couch in the a.m. This morning I came downstairs to...

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm pleased that the tape is very clear. I bought Whisker City Scratch Prevention Tape. This brand had a huge display in my local PetSmart (Canada). I was sitting on the couch earlier and there my cat went - right up to the side of the chair to scratch. So, I calmly...
