I have a large pot of catnip and cat grass for my cats - they just love it. One of my cats in particular munches on cat grass almost every day. Tonight, I was watering the pot and I noticed a TON of tiny little dark bugs - so small I thought they were flecks of dirt at first -all over the...

Hey there, sorry for not updating! (I'm bad at that.) My kitty is almost 100% on dry kibble now, she won't eat anything else all of a sudden, and she's free-fed now instead of on timed feedings like before. Since she's had access to food whenever she wants it, she's massively cut down on eating...

That's a great idea! I feed her freeze dried raw to begin with, so I could leave some out for her as well, without adding water or goats milk. I think the issue with feeding kibble with raw is that the two foods digest very differently, and if fed together can cause digestion problems or an...

Since she's on a raw food diet, I've heard it isn't good for her digestion to eat kibble too. But I could start offering her a can of wet food per day in addition to her food to see if she's still hungry!

Thank you so much for those links! That sounds exactly like my baby. She eats fluff off the floor, the other animal's fur, and she used to chew on cords although thankfully she's given up on that. I need to take her in to the vet for an exam anyway, so I'll be sure to mention her behavior so...

I have never had a cat who has done this. I have a 9 month old kitten. About 2-3 months ago, she started chewing on cloth. When I say 'chewing', I more mean she's chewing off big chunks of cloth and eating it. It started with a pair of sweat pants and escalated to just about every kind of cloth...

That makes me feel a lot better! She's been looking a little pudgy lately, but if she needs more food I'll adjust her portions. (Honestly, if given the chance, I don't think she would ever stop eating lol)

She's eating commercial raw, so unfortunately no chunks She hasn't regurgitated anything yet, and no stomach issues so far, I just want her to slow down because it can't possibly be good for her to eat her meals in 10 seconds! Unfortunately neither of your other options would work for us, both...

Hello again all! This forum was extrodonarily helpful when I was starting out feeding my 12 week old kitten raw/dehydrated food, so hopefully you can come through for me again. Jadzia is 8 months old now, and she is still eating 3 times a day, a mixture of frozen ground raw and dehydrated raw...

I hope tomorrow comes very quickly for you!!!

If it makes you feel better, since posting this thread Jadzia has been spayed, and when I picked her up the next day, ALL of my panic and worries disappeared instantly. Not only was she the same loving, fearless kitty that I had dropped off the day before, but she spent the first day back just...

I will! Oh, and can I ask something else? You mentioned adding canned wet food to her diet I think, is that safe to offer her if she's also eating raw? It was my understanding that raw food digests at a different rate than cooked food/kibble, so does wet food count? I wouldn't mind buying her...

I'll make sure to offer her more food then! I'll see if she'll take 2 nuggets per feeding instead of 1.

I used the Primal Food calculator (I feel silly for not just checking there in the first place) and it's telling me, based on her weight and age, to only give her 3 nuggets daily! Here are the results: Is this wrong?? This was on their website, I assumed it would be correct! Edit: Oh and I...

Thank you everyone for your awesome replies! I feel a lot better now, and I agree, I would NEVER want my cat to have to experience a heat cycle if she didn't have to. I've also looked up more info on Karen Becker, and yeah she sounds like kind of a nut. Since I posted this thread, the facebook...

No, just a video from Dr. Karen Becker talking about why she thinks it's bad to spay before a cat is fully matured, and lots of comments with the words 'studies show' lol.

My vet recommended I get my kitten spayed at 4 months, so I did. 'Earlier the better', she said, and she had lots of reasons to back up her recommendation. Jadzia just came home from the surgery today, she's totally fine, just sleepy. Meanwhile, in this raw-food facebook group I belong to...

Interesting! I had no idea it was considered desirable lol Well then I might keep on feeding her 4 nuggets per day, and just watch her weight for now. :)

Yeah, my other kitty has a pretty big one, but she's an old gal who free-feeds, so putting her on a diet is a no-go. (She would sooner starve lol) I've read up on those pouches, and unfortunately there are only theories, but their overall weight definitely affects the size of the pouch. I don't...

Ever since I brought my kitten home she's been eating Primal dehydrated raw. (We've been rotating proteins.) I was feeding her as much as she wanted at first, about 5 feedings a day, and in the last week or so I've bumped her down to 4 feedings daily. However, I feel like her tummy is hanging a...
