    Food Recommendations

    @daftcat75 thank you. I would like to give to all of my cats but there are a couple of them that have more issues than others. So as long as those ones will take it I will be confident enough to then buy enough for everyone. I also have a kitty with hyperthyroidism so I need to research how he...

    Food Recommendations

    I am looking for a few different kinds of food recommendations: 1. I currently have my cats on Instinct wet & dry w/ raw bits and I am thinking about switching it up. Wondering if anyone is familiar with something comparable in price that is nutritionally complete? With 7 cats and the price of...

    Moving...do we take our stray friend?

    We will not be using a company. We are honestly not moving very far away. Its only about a 10 minute drive. So that part will be easy. @Maria Bayote his full name is Tazmanian Meatwad! He was such a buff meaty boy when we found him :p I will post a picture when I can get one!

    Moving...do we take our stray friend?

    @Molly and Abby I have a very hard time letting those kinds of things go too. I have been trying to purchase a home for over 3 years (the market is insane). I looked at several homes with lots of outside cats and always wondered if they would be left behind. In my current neighborhood dogs are...

    Moving...do we take our stray friend?

    Thank you everyone for the tips and encouraging words! Our current home has a screened in porch on the back which has been amazing. We will not have this at the new house but plan on making the back deck into a catio. We ALWAYS supervise our cats outside if they are not in an enclosure. The...

    Moving...do we take our stray friend?

    @daftcat75 Thank you for your input. He spends enough time away from us sometimes that it seems like he gets food from others as well. But I don't know that for sure. He really loves it out there. But I am in agreement with you. We like to spend lots of time with them outside, but it will still...

    Moving...do we take our stray friend?

    OK, since you said so! :purr: It is going to be rough moving 7 cats! But it must be done. Thank you for confirming my thoughts and easing my doubts. I just needed to hear it from someone on here :biggrin:

    Moving...do we take our stray friend?

    We have become friends with a "stray" cat in our neighborhood. His name from us is Meatwad. We initially took him in for a few days back in February when the wind chill reached -30. We have 6 other cats and found that he gets along pretty well with them. We think he was about 5 or 6 months old...

    Managing nutrition for multiple cats

    Thanks for the replies! I was wondering if someone would say anything about feeders. Its something I'll look into. If they work well it seems like they could be worth it. I'm trying a few things out though and just wanted to see what others have tried. It hasn't really been an issue for me until...

    Managing nutrition for multiple cats

    I have 6 cats ranging in age from 5-14. The oldest has arthritis & hyperthyroidism (recent diagnosis and we have more tests to do). His younger brother at 13 is overweight and also has arthritis but is otherwise healthy. The next at 8 has allergies (not sure what specifically). The other 3...

    Good pet health insurance?

    Unfortunately, I am finding tons of reviews saying its not a good service :(

    Good pet health insurance?

    Also I have 6 cats so having insurance on all of them would be outrageous $$$

    Good pet health insurance?

    Its doesn't seem to be an insurance company though. I think it could be a good thing to have in combination with pet health insurance. Although I was drawn to it because of the opportunity to get financial assistance for what all the insurance companies wouldn't cover because of his now...

    Good pet health insurance?

    Has anyone ever used PAWP? They provide an emergency fund up to $3000/year for emergencies even if its related to a pre-existing condition. $19/mo membership and covers up to 6 pets. I'm thinking about signing up. My 14 year old just had a stroke :( We found he has high blood pressure and...

    Future of veterinary/nutrition industry?

    Well I'm really glad we can have this conversation here. I would love to be able to find a vet that was an advocate for the raw diet. I plan on taking some online classes because I really want to understand this better. But the friction from commercial food companies will prove to be a difficult...

    Affording all wet - so confused on quality/price?

    Oh ok, thats great! I know it is very difficult when you have a kitty that loves dry food so much. Out of my 6 babies, 1 of them is obsessed with dry food. Even after eating his favorite wet food he cries for his kibble. Little turd!

    Affording all wet - so confused on quality/price?

    Agreed! The quality of ingredients are the key factor. It's not just a question of whether there's enough protein and nutrients, but also what is in the protein and where does it come from? Lower quality often equates to questionable meat. It will be much more difficult to ween them off of dry...
