    Cats Ignoring Raw...sign That Food Isn't Fresh?

    My two cats, both one year olds have been on commercial raw for about 3 months no issues. I feed them once in the morning and once at night before I go to bed. After I fed them last night I noticed that they didn't gobble it down like they usually do and they only ate half. This morning I opened...

    How Active Are Your British Shorthairs?

    I've read that british shorthairs tend to be less active and just wanted to see if this is mostly true for other bsh owners. I have a one year old female bsh, and she's a total couch potato :p. I've tried a bunch of different types of toys, and the only one she would run for is the laser toy...

    Why Do Cats Get The Zoomies?

    I'm constantly surprised at how much damage a little 3kg furball can do. My 3kg furball uses me as a trampoline to bounce to other places when she gets zoomies and it hurts like hell! My 15 kg dogs don't hurt that much when they pounce on me. I feel like with dog zoomies they make the effort to...

    Do Cats Need To Eat Less When On Raw Diet?

    I'm currently feeding my two cats (11 months old) the manufacturers recommended amount of commercial raw (chicken & rabbit) based on their weight, and they're starting to get a little fluffy (size wise). Just went for a vet checkup and was told to reduce their intake (my vet supports raw, so...

    Bathing A Bsh

    I wash my BSH every 1-2 months depending on how 'roughed up' she looks. She sheds a lot and I feel that washing helps get rid of the loose fur that I can't get to during grooming. There's always so much fur in the shower afterwards.

    Safe Way To Disinfect Cat Toys?

    My cat's allergic to something in my house, I don't know what so I'm doing a deep clean of everything including their toys. I would prefer to hand wash them since they most likely would not survive the washing machine. What's safe to use besides hot water and soap that can kill germs? I'm a...

    Is It Normal For Adult Cats To Never Gain/lose Weight?

    My two cats are 11 months now, I neutered them at 6 months and the vet said that their weights would start to stabilize as they reach adulthood. I've been experimenting with different diets since they've been neutered so I weigh them once a week just to make sure they haven't lost too much...

    Can't Get Past 50/50 Wet-raw Mix

    I don't think it would be bad to stay 50/50, but if I could provide something even better, why not? Currently the highest quality wet cat food that my cat would tolerate is Thrive, which they claim has no fillers or preservatives and contains only chicken breast, chicken stock, sunflower oil...

    Can't Get Past 50/50 Wet-raw Mix

    I did it! Kinda. I finally got one of my cats to eat 100% raw! :D The other one still won't touch it if it isn't mixed but hoping she'll be peer pressured into accepting raw on its own. _______________________________________ I would appreciated it if people could comment if the theory behind...

    Thoughts On Boarding Cats?

    I recently boarded my two cats for 8 days while I was on vacation. Some tips for your search: 1. Size of kennel - if your cat is active, go for a large kennel to give her some room to run around. Too big though, and she might not feel secure. Its like Goldilocks and the 3 bears, gotta find one...

    Can't Get Past 50/50 Wet-raw Mix

    For raw I'm using a commercial raw called Big Dog (for cats), its the only brand available where I'm from that doesn't cost a fortune. Tried Stella & Chewy freeze dried, they hated it even more. The raw I'm on now is minced, so its easy to mix with the wet. Stella & Chewy are chunks and they...

    Can't Get Past 50/50 Wet-raw Mix

    I've been trying to my two cats to accept raw for a little over a month now. At first they both refused to touch it, so I've been gradually mixing a bit of raw into their wet food, increasing a bit each week. They've been on a 50:50 wet-raw mix for about two weeks now, and I can't seem get past...

    Should I Be Concerned About A Fish Bone Found In Thrive Wet Food?

    I opened a can of Thrive, Ocean Fish flavor for my cats today and found a long piece of fish bone. It was quite pointy and solid, though it was very brittle and broke after applying little pressure. I'm worried about them choking or damaging their throats, but since its so breakable can they...

    Treats

    One my cats doesn't like treats either. I've tried all sorts, freeze dried, liver, chicken..all not interested. I was hoping to use treats to train her. My other cat loves treats so I was able to do some basic training (when it pleases her majesty).

    Do Your Cats Like Yoga?

    My Yara has a weird obsession with me on the yoga mat. Every time I whip out the mat she's all over it, rubbing up against me, trying to join me/kill me. Sometimes I use her as a kitty dumb bell and she doesn't seem to mind, even closes her eyes and purrs.:lol:

    Pet Emergency Kits?

    I have an emergency pet carrier that has its own specific spot so I always know where it is. Its easy to zip, and I can easily carry it on my shoulder, leaving my other hand free. Though I have been thinking about switching to a pet backpack to leave both my arms free during an emergency. My...

    I have a pretty active 9 month old that loves to hunt. During the day she has an assortment of self playing toys and my other cat to play with, and that only satisfies her daytime zoomies. Evening is hunting time and despite having a variety of things attached string type toys, lately she...
