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! 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...

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 need to find a new place to live, but it seems many places will restrict my cats to just my bedroom. Even in places that may allow my cats to roam in the common areas, I've found I am overprotective of my cats and do not trust the housemates, especially since due to my budget I am...

(Heads up that there's a butthole image at the end!) Hello! I'd thought my cat was kind of lazy when it came to cleaning her bumhole because it seemed she always left pieces of poop there, but I recently came across an image of expressing anal glands that looked similar to what she had. I've...

Hello, everyone! Thank you again for your help with my questions about the yearly exam earlier; today was the day, and we took the cats in for their first checkups as adults! I asked for their teeth to be look at in particular as I've worked up to being able to smear toothpaste on their top row...

Hello! I'm considering using Darwin's introductory offer to get my cats acclimated to raw before transitioning to homemade, but I know high bone content and the resulting constipation is likely guaranteed. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for diluting the bone content to a safe amount...

Hello! My cats are the first pets I've ever owned. They are 16 and 13 months, and I was wondering which of the following I could expect for their yearly checkup: Physical exam. Fecal exam? Urinalysis? CBC? Blood paneling? Mouth x-rays (done yearly, or done anytime a cat goes under)? Dental...

Hello! I've come across mixed feedback online, so before I bought a new batch I wanted to ask: For chicken hearts, giblets, and liver, is it necessary to store them in the freezer for 8 weeks before feeding? Or can they be used as treats right away? Do they need to be washed before they're...

Hello! I have two children who I love and adore: Juno (14 months, female) and Henri (12 months, female), who have been living with me and each other for 10 months. They have never fought and they seem to get along. They can eat near each other (and have to be separated during mealtimes for...

Hello! These questions are pretty food-oriented; I was not sure if my questions should go in health or in nutrition, so I hope this is okay! 1. I usually feed my kittens 3-4.5oz each sitting. I've read multiple times in this site that they should be fed until they're full and walk away...

Hello! I'm a new cat mom and I've had my kids for a little under two months; I've been following the site since I got them and what got me to finally make an account was a question about poop! :poop: 1. One of my babies got into her sister's bowl when I tried to introduce a new type of food...

Hello! I am a new mother of two! When I started my cat search I was looking for a lazy, cuddle-bug adult cat... and I ended up with a shy, unsocialized kitten: Juno (calico, 6mo)! I wanted a more confident kitten for her to be friends with and learn from, and that's how I ended up with Henri...
