Thank you! To clarify, I wasn't sure if raising it wholesale would be sufficient since it looks as if it has a horizontal platform in front of the bowl that would still obligate the cat to step on it to eat. Maybe if it was tilted? I'll think about it some more; thank you!

Hello! I was looking into a microchip feeder for my cat; unfortunately, she vomits when she eats anything from an unraised bowl. It looked as if the microchip feeder required a cat's head and front limbs to be under the canopy which might make it difficult to raise the bowl, and I was wondering...

Hello! That's the exact same dynamic my girls went through: the older was more aloof and skittish when I got her, while the younger kitten could barely stand to be separated from me. As they became adults, the older one grew to be incredibly affectionate and seeks pets and cuddles multiple times...

It happened to me once. I got my girls after starting a new job that needed a more rigorous sleep schedule, so they were used to me going to bed on time. There was one night a new event came out for a game, and by 3 AM I was still playing. My quiet cat came out of the bedroom, walked to my desk...

That's good to know; thank you so much! I'll continue to monitor her over the coming weeks, and check in with the vet at the 2 month mark as well if it's still healing by then! I'll stick to her toothbrushes for now and remove the gauze from her dental regimen, too. It's really reassuring to...

Hello! I agree; it's why I take them to their secondary vet for dental care so that x-rays can be taken each time, and why I'm unable to use my primary vet for cleaning despite trusting them more. At this point I mainly was not sure if I should continue to use the secondary vet or if I should...

Thank you all again for the help! Now that the cleaning is over, I'd appreciate further thoughts on the progression of her mouth (I've also asked the vet who did the cleaning, and will be asking the same from their primary vet during their next annual, but I'm always open to more thoughts!)...

Hello! As someone who feeds by weight instead of calories, I made a range like you did and picked a number from the range based on my cat's activity level. I kept notes on the amount I fed and monitored their body condition on a weekly basis (by pressing against their sides and back to test the...

@Maurey Sounds perfect! I tried to give lifting-their-lips-while-cleaning another try, and—yeah. Even extending my hand I can't touch both the crown of their head and the bottom of their chin at the same time haha. I'm glad it's not too detrimental going only by feel! Thank you for letting me...

@Maurey Aha! Thank you so much for letting me know, and I'll include the brush in my next Amazon order! I have small hands so I haven't been able to keep their lips open while holding their head in place with just one hand. I've been brushing by putting the brush under the lips and going by...

@fionasmom Hello! To clarify, what kind of opinion should I ask for? Both the primary and secondary vet agreed that she needed a cleaning during her checkup in January and March respectively; I had scheduled one for April but the vet told me he was uncomfortable putting her under anesthesia...

Hello! I'm not able to take a picture right now, but it looks similar to the image here, where the red is focused specifically on the gumline (as opposed to a general redness/puffyness/inflammation that affects the gums as a whole) and the rest of the gums appear to be a normal pink. The red...

Hello! I got my cat's teeth scaled and polished under anesthesia last year. At the time I didn't check her gums every day like I do now, but I remember that either her gumlines stayed red despite the cleaning, or they became red again in less than a few weeks (if not days) despite having her...

Based on your description I'm inclined to think it might be the fast eating causing the regurgitation. Some users use textured plates (e.g. lickimat, slow feeder bowls) or put things like golf balls inside the bowl to manually slow down the eating, and those would be less time-consuming than...

Hello! How big are Tiggy's meals? Mine had a habit of regurgitating right after eating as well, and it's always affected her since I got her at 6 months old. I cut her meal sizes down to 0.5 oz to 1 oz per portion depending on the food (15 minutes between potions; 2 portions per meal; minimum of...

Content-wise it might be throw-up, it was just so strange because their throw-up usually has a distinct splatter-shape and sometimes foaming/bubbles or chunks of food, but these puddles had smooth edges, were round or oval, and seemed to be just liquid with no other texture. Because the girls...

Hello! I've been finding random puddles that I suspect may be pee. I'm in the process of setting up a pet cam to find out which cat is doing it so I can take them to the vet for a urinalysis and bloodwork (currently I just set my phone on record while I wait for delivery of the pet cam, but no...

Hello! I'm currently using Alnutrin to supplement my food, but long-term I'd like to move towards adding supplements myself. I'm wondering what recipe is used to supplement Hare Today mixes? I initially tried going off of existing recipes and just removing the meat, liver, and bone from their...

Hello! I have a skittish girl who also hates to be held/confined, and I don't think it will be possible for me to hold her. What I do with her now is that I incorporate the carrier as part of her breakfast routine, and although I'm not able to carry her, it gives me peace of mind to know that...

Thank you guys so much; I'm really glad to hear it'll be doable, even if we do end up staying longer than a year! Thankfully they spend most of the day sleeping, even when I work from home haha! I leave mice, balls, and springs out for them, and rotate them with things like kickers, chews, and...
