Thank you, getting a small freezer is a great idea, and maybe my cats will even let me use it for my food sometimes :lol: It will certainly pay for itself in the long run and will allow me to make larger batches of food so I don't have to cook every week. I'm glad to hear good things about Raw...

Will keep this in mind! I can definitely supplement extra heart meat if necessary. MPC says that lamb heart is also very high in taurine and everything I got today includes a lot of it so I think it should be fine though. The pet food shop we went to was amazing. They are very pro raw food and...

No idea. I just watch the litter box for a poop or two before making any adjustments (adding or subtracting.) it’s more of a trial and error here. That’s why myself and @white shadow recommended starting small. A yolk or two a week is an ideal that many cats may not fall into. It’s an ideal...

I apologize if this gets long. I just want to make sure I provide all the necessary information. I've been doing a lot of research on FIV+ cats and raw diets and the information is definitely a bit overwhelming and conflicting. I've reached the conclusion though, that a raw diet might be the way...

Hey! Yeah it was a bit of work to have him off the dry food. I was giving him wet food during the day and a bit of dry at night. The issue was the wet food I had. Since he had UTI, he was on prescription but I was told to get him off the prescription because it’s useless for his case since it’s...

We had a kitty quite a few years ago that had Stomatitis. We adopted Puddin when she was approx 10 years old. We had to take her to the vet the next day, once we really saw how sick she was - liquid poop. Got that sorted out - figured out a raw diet was the only thing she could tolerate. Then...

How do you cook the meats? Do you sauté them in an oil? A couple of my cats will sometimes be interested in a few small pieces of raw turkey. But just a few bites and then they don’t want any more. Maybe lightly cooked would actually be more attractive to them if I feed it immediately after...

Yeah, well, I think it's pretty natural and normal for most of us of whatever species to want to burrow into nice soft warm blankets when Autumn & Winter come. It's just all about comfort, right? and maybe more, for some -- I LOVE cool, cloudy, rainy (& snowy, which I miss) weather, so I'm not...

Thanks for the link! I've actually seen this video already and I've tried this method but it doesn't work for my cat :( Getting less dry food does not motivate him to eat more wet food - he will just eat less and lose weight. Exactly the same thing happened with my cat and Dr. Elsey's Clean...

Update; gave him a tsp of raw egg yolk over a little bit of food without mixing it, he ate it🙏 do you have an idea how long will it take for the effect to kick in?

In addition to the above helpful information, I have a question to ask: when you say he vomits after he eats, is it immediately afterward, and is the food mostly undigested? There are cats who just eat too fast for their stomach to handle it and will throw up because of it. How old is this cat...

@LadyLondonderry, Sylvie is so much like our cats, though I hope ours never get to the point that they can't eat any chicken. 🤞🤞 I don't know what I'd feed them. I'm glad Sylvie's on the mend after the infections. And I'm glad she'll eat the Merrick food: Ireland doesn't like it but (as with...

Right now she is eating Sheba and fancy feast mainly chicken and turkey varieties. She was licking herself raw in April, the vet said it was stress related to my daughter moving out. He gave her a steroid shot and all got well her fur grew back and she was normal again. The. We went to Italy at...

Mods If this is in the wrong section please move it to the right one. Since Scooter’s UTI in September I have been worried about him. I worry so much I end up annoying people around me. Well everyone except you guys cause many of you have been through this and know the feelings I experience...

@lollie I, too, would like to know about the hairball issue. If you cannot access the link above (I couldn't), here is another link to getting supplements added to baby food meat over the long run. How to Balance Baby Food to Make It Nutritionally Complete - Raw Feeding for IBD Cats The web...

No it was just a thought, he's far too long in the tooth to change diets that drastically. I did mention 'home made' but vet said that it would be very difficult to get the amounts of ingredients right for each individual cat. They gave me some 'Gastric protectants' for his acidosis. Anyway...

Do not feed this cat any Purina products. The meow mix is not fit for racoons. The wet food contains mercury see attached. It also contains a thicker which the cats cannot digest. Please make your own. It’s cheaper in the long run and the recipe for raw should be on this site. Start up is a...

Oh yeah, a manual grinder should do the job just fine. What texture are the Rawz and Mouser varieties? If they're coarse, could they be ground finer with your grinder OR in a blender/food processor with a little water? You could try experimenting with different versions of these, and see if any...

Hi! New to the forum, I will adopt a 3 months kitten soon from a shelter. He is now fed with junk dry and wet food, I think both chicken based. I was planning at least in the beginning to keep a mix of dry and wet food, and see later to transition to only wet and/or raw. I want to do a bit of...
