Okay, that second recipe looked very carb-rich to me! Glad I double checked. I used pre-mix for raw meat (TCFeline), but I know that a lot of those nutrients will be made unavailable after cooking. I'll check into the two you recommended so I can have it on hand if I decide to start cooking...

No worries, I know about the threat of parasites--at least more than the average Joe. I'm a disease ecologist! I don't study vertebrates, though, so I'd defer to your knowledge on cat parasites/zoonoses. Do you use the recipe for cooked food that's provided at the end of the article?

He's been dewormed then later double-checked by the vet for worms when he was refusing to poop in his litter box (she found it was just box shyness, not worms or constipation, and he started using the box regularly shortly after, thankfully) I'm using Wellness Chicken Pate, as suggested by his...

Really? Oh boy, I thought not mixing the foods was more about how kibble is generally not as great for digestion so why bother, not about how it's actually dangerous to mix with raw. I'll look into that more! He's definitely not touching his kibble, so I think that's not an immediate problem...

Hi all, I have an almost 15-week-old kitten whose breeder weaned him onto a high-protein kibble. I transitioned him from kibble to canned and now onto raw. I leave out his kibble at all times and occasionally offer canned, but he's been refusing anything but raw meat for the past 7 days as I...

I haven't dealt with a family member developing dementia, but I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant in an assisted living facility with a memory care wing for a little over a year. We would develop friendships with many of the residents, and every once in awhile we'd see an elderly friend...

Update: We have a puppy pad convert! He started using the litter box lined with a puppy pad that I set up in the corner of our living room. I've already seen him seek out two different litter boxes a total of four times today. Also, last night I used my new blacklight to check my mattress and...

I'll try the baking soda + vinegar solution tonight. He only uses the Nature Miracle corner cat box with the cover removed. I'll move it room to room to see if he'll still use it. If so, I'll buy some more. Thanks for your feedback. I am spending quality time with him in the bathroom, and...

Well, I hit my mattress with baking soda, Biokleen, then Nature's Miracle Urine Eliminator (Rocco & Roxie's and Odorklenz are still in the mail!), and now I need to know how to get the awful overpowering smell of Nature's Miracle out of stuff. :lol: I also used it on Banana's cushions that he...

One is very deep with a cut out on one side. The other is on the shallow side of average. I did start him off with the deep box, which is my bad. However he has started using the deep box if I line it with paper towels! He's not into puppy pads or litter, but I can work with this. :) I...

I'm going to try to locate something small or destroyable that he's peed on so I can get it in a litter box, thanks for the suggestion! Also I'll grab some Cat Attract litter this weekend when I'm collecting my litter smorgasbord. :) I'll be sure to do that!

Thank you for the recommendations. I've reached out to the breeder for info on her litter boxes. I've also read those articles and plan to tackle this problem on all cylinders this weekend. Different boxes, a couple new types of litter, puppy pee pads, etc. Since I don't yet have puppy pads...

I have tried the corn-based World's Best Cat Litter, the clay litter that came with the disposable litter box, and now both of them have the unscented Tidy Cat LightWeight in them (which the breeder used). I'll go out and guy others tonight!

Hi everyone, I got a 12 week old (now 13 week old) Ragamuffin from a reputable breeder 5 days ago. I kept him shut in my room for the first day. This resulted in 2 pee spots on my bed and a diarrhea explosion on my mattress (I was very tired after a night of meowing and forgot to replace my...
