Hi there
my cat has lost about 50% of her weight since the start of summer. We don’t have ac and it’s hot in our house even with window opens. Temps indoor are about 80-90°F. She gets outside time about 1-2 hrs a day to roam while we watch a close eye on her in the garden. She is sleeping per...
Does anyone around here find eating pomegranates, like when you sit down and peel out each seed fruit one by one, super mindful and really calming? I do, and I was just wondering others experience.
When i peel it all at once, not so much the same experience and it’s just like eating any other...
What’s the longest anyone was away from their cat? And did the cat remember you when you came back? Was it aggressive? Who watched it?
we’re leaving our cat (one cat house hold) at home for a whole week and half by herself (except when cat sitter drops by for brief play and give her wet food)...
Hi there
my cat is always hungry. She always wants food. This has recently happened with the cold weather/season change. She wasn’t like this during the summer, so could have been a decent health development. Is always hungry a symptom of some other culprit besides hunger? She is 10 lbs and...
Hi there
we’re a one cat household with a 4 year old cat. She’s not super shy of people,it takes a bit for her to warm up to you but she’s not the type to hideaway for hours bc of a stranger in the home. She does let new ppl pet her. That said, I don’t think a cat sitter is a big deal to her...
I’m in a seasonal climate- I noticed my
Cat has been finishing every meal and super excited every meal, compared to like a month ago when she barely finished both meals and didnt seem care to get food when it was meal time. It just finally turned cold the last couple weeks and I noticed this...
Hi all
my 3 year old cat, generally has constipation, and seems to be losing weight now. Does anyone know if there’s correlation between these two symptoms that could be a health sickness/issue? She has an 100% wet diet, rawz and Merrick. She’s has chicken allergies so is fed duck and rabbit...
Hi all
I have a three year old cat, solo- no second cat. I’m going to be gone for 4 days to go camping and want to know which is the preferred option when leaving cat solo per general Cat behavior and stuff. She’s fed 100% wet food so I don’t want to deal with a food timer and all that. She’s...
Hi there
I need some help navigating what would be the best next steps for our current situation. I adopted a stray cat about six months ago, who is now 2.5-3 years old. she is indoor only, and eats only wet food. I arranged a dental cleaning appt for her, which vet required bloodwork to make...
Hi there
TLDR: are there any interactive cat toys on a schedule timer (set it to play @ 10AM and 2PM, type deal; not auto shut off after 10 minutes type deal) out there? I'm only finding battery operated ones with no timer- if it was wire/core kind, I could at least buy a timer for the outlet...
Hi all
was wondering if anyone else here fed their cat ziwi pet wet or air dried cat food, and how their cat bowel movements were doing on it?
I’ve been feeding mine a mix of ziwi dry and wet 50/50, and she seems to be more constipated on it than other foods (haven’t tried many bc of her...
Hi there all
TLDR version: I was wondering if anyone has much knowledge or an opinion on what's worst in cat food ingredient between MSB (Menadione sodium bisulfite) vs a high carb content (greater than 20% on DMB)? I know the recommended carb DMB is less than 10%. I'm selecting between lower...
Hi there
Does anyone know if the smell of lilies are harmful to cats? I know the plant and all it’s parts is incredibly dangerous (just learned this tonight), but what about the smell?
Korra Kat didn’t ingest any parts or have any pollen on her, but we had a Lily bouquet that went from just one...
Hi there
I just learned about the third eyelid in cats today. So I checked my kitty to see if I could see hers, and if Im understanding correctly, I can. So I went back through her photos since I’ve gotten her and it seems like she’s had her third eyelid showing pretty much the entirety of the...
Korra Kat and I have made up a routine that consist of play time for 10-15 minutes then meal time. I play with her w/ a rope that she chases and attacks, similarly to how I imagine she'd catch a prey. anyways, she'll bring me the rope meowing loudly and drop it in front of me- sometimes after...
Hi all
I just learned about cat communication buttons and how there’s some Instagram and tiktok accounts with their cats doing such thing. I’ve been teaching Korra Kat to brush And sit on command. She’s been doing really well. I was thinking of adding this to the repertoire. Has anyone tried...
Rawz just sent me 4 FOUR! 5.5 oz cans of free cat food samples. I couldn’t find any near me and didn’t want to have to buy a whole case only to learn that Korra Kat hated it. (For some reason she stopped eating wet food when she was sick and I was fearful the transition would be tough.) I had...
Hi there
I was giving Korra Kat a good petting today and I noticed her lower back area, right before her tail, had two good size bumps on them. About 1/8” or 3/8” in diameter, def not larger than 1/4”. I think it hurts her when I touch them bc she doesn’t let me touch them for very long (1-2...
hi there
does anyone know for certain that vets get kickbacks on certain types of food or pet insurance they push? I've read some stories on here that are awfully concerning, and I too have had my vet be very insistent on a prescription diet despite the dermatologist vet begging to differ...
I'm still figuring out cat food ingredients, and what it all really means with all the marketing and actual truths. I did a semi deep dive this week, but I'm sure I'm at the tip of the iceberg.
SHORT BRIEF: I did a bunch of research/reading and my big question and the thing I have yet to...
