    Grain Free Food = Cardiomyopathy?

    Cats are obligate carnivores, a look at their digestive tract shows no cecum and a short transit time for waste. That said, the grain free commercial food side steps grain and replaces it with potatoes, peas, carrots to make up for the calories and small amount of protein the grains contained...

    Cat Front legs wound

    Yes it probably is from the IV, and that is why the vet clinic should still be responsible for the aftercare. Were you given any discharge papers? The emergency vet clinic by me has a policy where they grant 3 or 4 days after the visit "free" (as I'm sure this is built into the original bill)...

    November 2020 book of the month club

    I think I read about 50% of the book but had to listen to the other half on kindle audiobook - the narration drove me mad because the woman who read it only had like 3 voices and only 1 for the Tate and Chase so it was kind of confusing to me I'd get the two names mixed up and then they had the...

    is cat trying to get out of house to die

    Hi, this is in response to your original question. My father gave a kitten, Tiffany, to mother before I was born. By the time I had gone to college at 18 she was past 21 years old, she knew me when I was a baby! My mom said just as I had left for college, she kept trying to go down the...

    Major problems with rental/pets/mold

    I'm not sure if it's allowed @czari but is it possible to start a different thread on this? I read through all the old stuff before getting to your reply and I think your story deserves it's own thread as it takes awhile to comb through the older posts. Just a quick comment from me - yes gone...

    Gift ideas for your vet

    Awl this is such a nice gesture, I'm due up to see my vet this month. I always give her fresh eggs but maybe something extra like a card and like @LTS3 said sponsoring a shelter animal in her name. That's such a good idea! I don't know where Vets get their supplies from but maybe a gift card...

    Pine pellet litter users, how often you do a full strain?

    How many cats do you have? I only have 1 that uses it so maybe it's just not as dire for me to do a big clean everyday, but I sift all the dust out about every 5 days (with a scoop, I don't have a sifting box) oddly enough the guy we got the kitten from says he waits until the entire box is dust...

    What size wood pellets?

    I pulled a few clean pellets out of the bag they all vary in size because they break up a bit, the largest (also broken) one I grabbed is about 3/4" (19mm) so I guess go with the largest size they have... I don't use a sifting box so wouldn't know if the slots are too big for 8mm. ETA I use TSC...

    Scoop for Pellet Litter

    Yeah I don't know why she does that, I just use the scoop and try not to pick up too much pellets on the way.

    Scoop for Pellet Litter

    I'm an amateur when it comes to pine pellets, but I just use a regular run of the mill scoop, more specifically the Nature's Miracle brand. It's nothing special. The pellets that are stuck on the poop need to be tossed anyways so I don't worry about them not falling through the holes. I also...

    Thanksgiving / holiday dinner

    Oh, this looks good! I love skillet/1 pot/instant pot stuff when my husband's not home, easy clean up. To be honest I prefer chicken over turkey. We tried to keep our turkeys small but could only get our hands on bronze breed, we're trying to do something like Kentucky Bourbon because they're...

    My newly adopted cat only ate half his food then started scratching around his food bowl...

    I've had cats most of my life and I've never seen this! My husband brought home a kitten in August and I noticed her pawing around her bowl. It's so funny/weird! I wonder why some do and some don't. My older cat is a stray from an unknown planet so I'd expect he'd fake bury his leftovers but...

    Cat Vaccination vs Upsetting My Cat

    Maybe this post will get moved to behavior topics, but I'm curious to know what Princess's history is as to why she's so fearful. I wonder if it might be time to start blocking her out of the hiding spot and giving her wall space instead to help with confidence. Keeping a tv/radio/YouTube on...

    Thanksgiving / holiday dinner

    My husband is going back to work (overseas) for 3 months mid November so my parents are coming down this weekend and we are doing a small early Thanksgiving. He is going to smoke a turkey we raised and I'm doing the popular side dishes with a couple pies. In the end it'll just be a big dinner...

    Cat Vaccination vs Upsetting My Cat

    Hi @Pippers, has Princess come out of her shell at all? I don't know why but I've been thinking about your post recently.

    Question of the Day, Sunday, the first of November, 2020

    Understood. For whatever reason the men/boys stuff never fits me well. The boy stuff doesn't have a good fit for hips same with the mens until I get to the too big category I don't need pants at my ankles for sure.
