    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...

    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...

    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'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...

    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:

    Tips On Being A Better Prey For Active Cat

    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...

    My Cats Like Guitar Music

    Sometimes I play this peaceful guitar playlist I found on Spotify to help my cats calm down when they have crazy zoomies and won't let me sleep. So tonight I was playing it and noticed a song that was quite nice, my cats are chill, I looked at the title and its the theme song to Rosemary's Baby...

    Drinking A Lot At One Time Vs Drinking Little Bits Throughout The Day

    Which one does your cat do? Are there any health implications with any of those drinking habits? I've noticed that my two cats prefer to drink a lot at one go instead of taking little sips throughout the day. They're currently on a half dry half wet diet (dry in the morning, wet in the night)...

    How To Uncondition Bad Behavior

    So I think I may have accidentally conditioned my cat into thinking that knocking down my laundry is a positive thing. I hang dry my laundry on a drying rack, and my overactive Yara decided the hanging clothes are great to play with. Originally I tried a spray bottle, but that didn't work so...

    For Those Of You Who Brought Home A Kitten, Who Did The Lion King Baby Simba Scene?

    C'mon, no judgement here, lets be honest. I did it with both my kittens. They're 7 months now and and still do it every now and then. I even pretend that my round ceiling light is the sun, then I hoist them up and and go "Nyaaahhh..."

    Displays Of Affection: Dogs Vs Cats

With my dogs I always liked to put my hand over their paw, and they always let me and they give me a look that says "ahh hooman please hold my paw forever and ever I love you so much". I tried to do the same with my cats...

    Keeping Cool In Hot Weather

    Its getting quite hot where I live and I've noticed my british shorthair prefers to lie on the tiles to keep cool. I don't think its hot enough to leave the aircon on all day yet so I made a cooling mat with ice packs wrapped in a towel. She doesn't seem interested in it though. Is it safe to...

    Do Cats Scar?

    This is a very stupid question, but I still have to ask. After two weeks of wearing the cone of shame, my cat finally got her stitches from spay surgery removed. The incision's healed and there's no scar at all, not even a faint red line. Cat gets organs removed and looks perfectly normal...

    Both My Cats Are Super Clingy Whenever I Go To The Bathroom

    Both of them will follow me into the bathroom and jump onto my lap and demand to be petted while I'm doing my business. Why WHY WHY???? They don't act like that when I'm sitting in other places, just the bathroom. With their heightened sense of smell surely they know what I'm doing there. If I...

    Cat Depressed With Cone

    My cat got spayed yesterday, and my vet said no cone was needed unless she's licking the wound a lot. She wouldn't stop licking it, and the stitches seems to have loosened a bit so I put the cone on. Ever since I put the cone on she's been so depressed. Its been three hours and she's just moping...
