I am back on the raw feeding train with my trio. I order their food from Rebel Raw. It comes in 16oz packages. Has anyone found a silicone ice cube tray or something else that I can portion into 1oz servings? What works for you?

Does anyone here use the xl breeze system? Pros, cons, etc.? I was using pine pellets, but I was wondering if the breeze system would be easier. That's a good chunk of change to put upfront.

Evie has been biting her tummy for a while now. The vet has tries antianxiety medicine, flea prevention (in case of a flea allergy), and steroids. The steroids worked, but that's not a long-term solution. The vet wants her to do a hydrolyzed diet + Apoquel. I cannot guarantee that she will...

I need some help. My mom's indoor/outdoor cat caught a bat and brought it (alive) inside. My parents caught the bat and have it in a box in the garage. I told them they need to call the health department to get the bat tested and the vet to see what they say/suggest. The issue is, the cat's...

Emerson has started to grab Evie by her scruff and pin her down while trying to get into a mounting position. Evie hollers, but lets him do it. He only stops when we yell at him, then he walks away like nothing happened. All my cats are fixed. Evie and Emerson are 5-year-old littermates and...

Has anyone heard of Odie pet insurance? It seems too good to be true, at least for my area. The price is phenomenal for what they cover and what percentage they cover. Pet Insurance by Odie™ | Affordable Pet Insurance (getodie.com)

This is a VERY sensitive subject. I know most of the people on here will not agree with this, which is why I'm here to try last-ditch efforts. My parents live in a rural mountain town. They have a small (3 cat) semi-feral colony that they have TNR'd and feed regularly. They also have 3 house...

I was looking into ways to reduce our budget and noticed we spend a nice chunk of change every month on pet insurance for the cats. I began looking into alternates to pet insurance and stumbled across Pet Assure. This is a program that has nationwide (in the USA) participating vets that gives...

We are having our walls painted shortly, and our painters have also agreed to fix the doorframes that the cats have done a serious number on by scratching and jumping on them. Obviously, once they're fixed, I want to keep them looking nice. I need ideas on what to put on the doorframes or...

I feed the cats dry food for their afternoon meal during the week. On weekends, they get only wet food (Friskies, Fancy Feast, Purina Pro Plan True Nature, Tiny Tiger- with some other brands if I can catch them on a good sale). I've been feeding them Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin (PURINA PRO...

I went to place a Chewy order a few weeks ago for some Poultry Platter. It was listed as temporarily out of stock. So was every single other pate 24 pack! Weird, but ok. I got a multipack of some other flavors that I was just hoping they would eat. Then I went to Kroger...no pate flavors...

Emerson has apparently torn one of the claws on his back foot. I only noticed it because he stretched beside me and his toes flared out. He and Evie have an annual vet visit (rabies, etc.) Monday. Is it ok to wait until them to ask the vet about it? He's running around, eating, etc. all...

Can those who use the Breeze system give me the pros and cons? I currently have my cats on pine pellet litter in a sifting litterbox. Is the Beeeze worth the extra money? Do you have any hacks to make the pads/pellets last longer? I have three cats, so I can see all the pads adding up quickly.

This is an oddly specific post, so bear with me. Backstory: I joined a Facebook group that makes fun of names (not cultural names- think adding unnecessary Y's and such, ie Aydyn instead of Aiden, unnecessary apostrophes, etc.). I was scrolling through one day and saw the name Ezra. That is...

Maybe a month ago, one of our cats peed on the rug in front of the litterbox. Out litterboxes are in the guest bathtub- makes for easy cleaning, and we really don't have a better place for them. It gets bleached and deep cleaned regularly. Anyway, the pee incident was weird, but I didn't...

It's that time of year again... We are trying to think of what a good gift for B's mom would be. His dad passed away earlier this year, so we are looking into giving her something/things that would benefit her and generally make her life easier. She is in her 60s, and her home isn't exactly...

I currently have my three on a mixture of Friskies (Poultry Platter and Chicken and Tuna), Purina Pro Plan (Turkey and Chicken), and Fancy Feast Classic pates. They get Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Stomach Turkey and Oatmeal dry food on weeknights, about 1/8-1/4 cup each (the food is super...

My mom has a little colony that she is working on rehoming. All cats are socialized. Last night, one of the kittens (6ish months old?) was lethargic, didn't eat, etc. She figured he had eaten something that didn't agree with him. When she checked on him at 5, he had passed. They looked him...

Has anyone used a Bissell Crosswave? I am intrigued and want to try one (who doesn't love saving time??), but the price tag is a major deterrent.

HI all, Evie started limping suddenly Sunday night. When I felt her over, she has a small, mobile, soft lump, about the size of a pea, above her digits on her front foot. She has an appointment for Monday (earliest due to COVID), but I'm pretty anxious She is otherwise completely normal...
