I doubt I'm the original inventor lol. But I just came up with this. I put hot water (which quickly cools) in a water dish with 4-5 Temptations treats. They soften fast, and after half an hour I pulverize them with a fork and stir. The resulting water drives my cat insane!

I just nearly traumatized my poor Bug. Chunk of poop, part sticking out, she was upset so I gently pulled it out, more upset. She has eaten raw food (with Alnutrin and liver powder per their instructions) for a year now, she is two. She loves it and eats it all. However she no longer touches her...

I'm wondering how to determine how many ounces of raw meat I should give my cat. She is one year old, healthy spayed female, 9lbs, been on raw diet for six months. I make 5lbs chicken and 1lb pork (I add Alnutrin and liver powder). Put it in a muffin tin to freeze, each muffin is about three...

My sweetheart, Bug, is about 15 months, and I've fed her only raw meat since about six months now. She has a gorgeous silky coat and is active, she appears the picture of health. But darn it all if she isn't chubby now. She gets raw chicken mostly, with some pork and turkey, and I use Alnutrin...

My beautiful and incredibly snuggly one-year-old cat Bug ticks all the boxes for "is your cat lonely?". We were thinking about a kitten. We live in a 1500 sq ft home and there is plenty of room for Bug. A second cat - I think so. But then my roommate is getting a puppy in a year or two (mini...

I've recently switched to horse pellet bedding for kitty litter (I found it pretty widely recommended). I've been slowly adding more and more to the original Arm&Hammer clumping litter, and my one-year-old seems to be fine with it. But darn if those pellets won't sift through my litter scoop...

Hello all! my darling kitten/just-turned-cat is doing great. I feed her a raw meat diet using Alnutrin and liver powder according to the recipe, and she has gorgeous fur, does torpedo zoomies, and loves on me. When she was around 10 months I think, she had a runny nose, just clear liquid, she...

Hello! My one-year-old rescue, Bug, is doing so well, playing, affectionate. She has a catnip mouse she loves, and I'm going to get her also a squeaky toy. However all the toys I can find can be batted under furniture or doors. We have uninhabited areas of the house, so toys can get lost for...

The brand name on Amazon is Misfans, Chinesium I guess. Pic attached. It has the round filters, one a sponge foam, one a charcoal. I've been reading extensively on using a water fountain without a filter so it doesn't get gross. I've removed those two to see if it helps, as they smelled up...

My 1-yr-old cat is loving her raw meat diet, but will only eat chunks, nothing ground. She bolts her food, and throws up often. I can't use the standard slow feeder bowls as the chunks stick out and she just carries on gobbling. Has anyone had this issue?

I have this: MISFANS Pet Water Fountain Stainless Steel. Basic chinesium, I know, but seems very well made. I've had it a week, just went to clean it. The water pump is fine, but to me, the filters smelled a little off. Can I replace the (expensive-to-replace) filters with coffee filters? far...

Thank you so much for the help I received from iPappy about an article on raw feeding and PMR. I've read it thoroughly, and my big takeaway is that variety is needed. Unfortunately there is only one grocery store in my small town, and I have no way to get to the bigger towns - so I'm lucky if...

I'm having the dickens of a time switching my new 10-month-old kitten to raw. I've been using Alnutrin supplement, and their basic recipe. I've done turkey, chicken and pork with inconsistent results. Also, I didn't know about the part where you give the cat a bone separately. Happy to keep...

I bought 3.5lbs of boneless skinless chicken thighs and boiled and shredded them. The weight is now 1.5lbs. I'm off to chase the chicken that got away, but in the meantime - which weight is the one that the recipe wants? (PS I've carefully read both sides of the raw/cooked debate, and due to...

Bug is a darling, sweet, I adore her. But after watching her for three months and trying every toy I can find, she just can't figure them out. She can't grasp to move the treatball so the treats will fall out; no concept of the red laser dot as prey, she just stares at it; she ignores the balls...

I've had her a month, not honestly sure yet how bright she may be. I want her to play more, and I searched on Amazon for these toys. I could not tell for the life of me what I should get. I'm guessing start out with something easy. Can anyone recommend what I might get? (homebound so if it's on...

I just adopted a shelter cat who I named Uffda. She is currently doing zoomies round the house, she is doing well, a real lovebug. However she is play-biting some and I would prefer her to lose the habit. What is best? I was putting her off my lap right away, then I was firmly saying "No!" but...

She is eight months old, a stray from the shelter. She's adorable. She's confident, happy and super loving. I'm trying to figure out what she means when her tail goes back and forth. I've always heard that it means "don't touch me, I'm upset or angry." Yet she does it while eagerly asking for...

Picking up my beautiful new 8-week-old kitten tomorrow. I have a recliner in my room, and it takes quite an effort to push shut the footrest to get up, gradual closing won't do it. I'm scared for the kitten that I'll slam it on him. He will want to hide sometimes, and perfect place is under the...

The best cat ever died peacefully in my arms yesterday. I was going to scrub out his box for the next cat a few months down the road. Can I clean well enough to remove every last bit of odor, or should I just get a new box?
