This may be very dumb, but this is the first time I've had a cat become an adult where I wasn't free-feeding so I'm not sure how to handle this transition. So my little one, Binx, is 19 mos now. She's stopped growing, though she's still quite small (about 7 lbs). When we found her as a stray at...

Oh nevermind. I just found the page on their website about how they hpp... which is why I'm leaving answers. I do not want the nutrion processed out of the food I feed whether that happens with high heat or high pressure.

oooh This looks promising! Thank you so much for this recommendation. I like that they have clear sourcing on their website and they source from human-grade facilities!

One time I spoke to a vet who told me I was going to kill my cat with raw and I asked her for sources and she short circuited. But that's how I usually handle it. I ask for sources and research. I explain I've done a lot of reading about cat nutrition and dietary needs and high quality raw...

With the news that Answers is beginning HPP, I'm looking for a premade I can get in North Carolina that is both made with high quality ingredients and doesn't HPP. Small Batch is what I'm coming up with, but I have some concerns with their quality and the fact that they USED to HPP and do still...

I've had my neutered male Niko since he was six months old in October 2015. I've never seen him hump any other cat (and there have been 9 he has lived around since then - not all at the same time but total) or an inanimate object and apparently he's humped my roommate's cat twice tonight. The...

My cats much preferred the Steve's freeze dried to Steve's raw or rehydrated so I usually feed them less than their recommended amount and supplement with goat's milk if they're being picky.

So my little one Niko never used to knead me. I've had him since he was six months old in October 2015. In late June of this year, my other kitty Stacey passed away. Stacey was nearly 10 when she passed. Niko took her death hard, he cried a lot and laid on all her old spots... It hit him. One...

Well I called the Animal Poison Control number and my friend paid the consultation fee (side note - that fee is ridiculous and we should all work on getting better funding so that people do not have to pay 65 dollars to consult poison control for their furbabies)... The doctor there said that...

I'm transgender and have been looking for a way to get a beard for a long time... I decided to try minoxidil after seeing a lot of great results online. I didn't realize how toxic it was to cats, I just figured it'd be fine if I washed my hands well and didn't let them give me kisses for a few...

I wish I had the money for a dog kennel like that... That sounds like she might really like it! I'm hoping maybe a treat when she comes in and then lots of love when she's not screaming? To recondition her to the house being a place of love and comfort?

The e-collar was necessary. She was obsessively grooming the area and irritating it so it couldn't heal. I tried to let her heal without it and it didn't work (we did 4 courses of antibiotics. 3 different and the last one was the same as the first one but with an e-collar on). I have had her...

When I was young, my mother impromptu brought home a cat who hated being held, but loved being cuddled. She and I had a really tight bond. She would either sleep on my stomach when I slept on my back, in between my legs, or actually spooned with me. She was so affectionate and I was spoiled. She...

That's an idea I toyed with but haven't tried because of how much of a pain it is. Why do you think she initially adjusted to the change of coming in at night and now is upset with it? Because something changed in the time she had the e-collar on. She was okay being inside at night, happy...

The worst part of this y'all is that I've been through this before and this feels different. I got this cat when I was in high school and still living at home. She lived with me at my dad's from 2009-2013. Over there, there was a cat door she could go in and out of freely and the neighborhood...
