    Multi-Cat Homes: How do you do it?

    I've always been really cautious when it came to feline nutrition, and I've never fed my cats dry food. Right now, between the both of them, they eat 2 cans a day of Instinct Ultimate Protein canned food. It's 22$ for a pack of 12, 5.5oz cans. Since the cans are 5.5oz, I split them in half...

    Cats & Chicken Broth Question

    Ollie never drinks from the water bowl, so I like to add a little water to his homemade meals everyday... but it isn't very much water. If I add too much, he'll reject the food all together.  So lately I began making fresh chicken broth everyday for my cat. He really, really seems to enjoy it...

    Harness or Collar?

    Hello everyone, Recently, I've been debating on whether or not to switch my cat, Oliver, to wear a harness instead of a collar. Why? Because I found that's it's... kinda useless to have a collar on a cat that, say, escapes your home and gets lost. A collar is dangerous as well, since it can...

    Cooked VS Raw

    So long story short, I plan to make my own cat food from now on after having some troubles with commercial brands. While looking on Amazon to find a premix to mix into the raw meat, I came across U-Stew. It has everything you need to feed a cat, just add COOKED meat! At first, I thought this was...

    Does walking a cat serve any health benefits?

    I've been considering walking my cat for a while now, and I may be staying in a condo on the beach this Summer. Since I'm bringing my cat - Oliver- with me, I thought it would be a good idea to train him to walk on a leash and to take small trips to the beach. However, I've been quite hesitant...

    Rad Cat

    Debating on giving my cat more raw food. Rad Cat seemed like a viable option to feed him in concordance with his Blue Buffalo wet food. I noticed that they do not add vitamin supplements to their food, like taurine. Which made me a bit nervous. How come they don't add these things in? Does the...

    Blue Buffalo and Carrageenan...

    After a long battle between me and Olive, I finally gave in and allowed him to eat his Blue Buffalo Wilderness canned food. I tried changing him to a more healthier food, but to no avail. He preferred his old food, and refused to eat much of his new canned diets.  I decided to do more research...

    Trouble Inserting Photo...

    I'm trying to put a small banner in my signature, and despite it coming up just fine in the editor, it won't appear in the preview nor the signature itself. This is the code I'm using;  It links to this photograph here; i'm pretty positive that it does not exceed the 144 pixel limit, either...

    My cat refuses to eat his food on his own... help?

    Long story short, he was on Blue Buffalo, then switched to Evo... he hated Evo, and it was mostly because of it's pate texture. I got him Tiki Cat, which he is currently on, and despite nipping at it occasionally, and drinking the water I put in it; he's not really interested unless I hand-feed...

    Anyone have experience with Tiki Cat?

    I bought Evo cat food for my 1 year old cat, but he absolutely hates the pate formula - (( can you see why?   I was researching for days for a new cat food that didn't have any icky starches or toxic ingredients; and I finally settled down to getting Tiki Cat food. It has no starch...
