to explain my thoughts: if one batch of food is slightly imbalanced, then the next batch will be imbalanced in another way. And since I always have three different batches, and rotate these three batches within a week the food will be balanced in the long run. The same way- different batches...
This is according to two well known food advisor in Sweden. One of them helped me with my allergic cat and did all the math for her diet. So I consider them both very trustworthy and reliable.
I had to try many harnesses before finding one that my cat could not escape from. It is specially made for her (loooong body!), extra wide and very comfortable. It is tight! But she is so used to it that she don´t notice it, or let it stop her from chasing bugs, birds, other cats and the...
Wow, a lot of questions. I think you can try to start feeding raw (but I have no experience of coccidia and how that effects the cat....). Start giving raw pieces as a treat, and when the stomach has adjusted to "candy-amounts" of raw then you could start slowly (!) replacing commercial wet with...
Raw is the best food for my cat. As long as I am careful with the hygiene, careful not to feed some meats (she is allergic), and be sure that all that she needs is in the food- then it is the best choice I´ve made for her. It is a steep learning curve when you start with raw, but after that is...
A healthy hunger (I feed twice a day) and some of the favorite food sprinkled over the new food makes wonders! A small victory with one of them though!
I think it is to easy to cook the raw meat by accident if you defrost in the microwave.... So I never do that, prefer to put the food in warm water.
I feed my cat whole bones, and she eats whole ribs.... if you want to try it with your cat (which is good for dental health and mental as well-...
My cat sleeps with me part of the night. She usually starts the night in her cat- tree, and after some hours she wakes up, and sleeps with me in my bed. Sometimes at my feet, sometimes at my chest. She seems to have periods where she sleeps more with me, and times when she only comes to get her...
If you feed pieces of bones, don´t defrost in the microwave! That could cook the bones, and make them sharp to eat. Better to thaw in the fridge or in warm water.
When my vet asked me that question- I answered "she eats whole ribs!". That and the fact that her teeth is gleaming white stopped them from asking more questions..... She ate high quality wet food before, but since staring all raw the change in her fur and body is unbelievable. I think that...
