Thank you, looks like she might not even be a member anymore, my phone won't let me send her a message 😭 I'll keep reading into it!

Could we make a new category dedicated to show questions? I bet people would love to know tips and tricks on keeping cats looking show ready, upkeep, how to get them used to being in a show ring, grooming tools you recommend, etc etc. There are so many ways you can be helpful here too, I took...

Melatonin injection for birth control... Naturally, I'm intrigued but cautious. As an owner of a CFA cattery, I do my diligence in keeping the queens separate from the toms as needed, but the thought of having a BC injection once a year to keep the accidental litter out of the question is...

I started experimenting I finalized my wet food recipe, but it was only supposed to be for moisture intake. Well now, none of the cats want any other wet food but the homemade stuff. I use a meat and usually beef liver as the organ and a little bit of starch as a thickener. Would you say...

Thank you! I'll check those out for sure!

First off, apologies on the dirty blanket, my queen just had her litter, and I wait a few days before laying fresh blankets down. This is the first time I'm seeing these colors! Used my new stud for the first time and he surprised me. Last litter my himie had was tabby, white, lynx point...

Crisis averted, looks like I was mistaken! 7 healthy kittens, one set of twins! (I assumed kitten #7 might be attached to a second twin, #8, by the placenta) But looks like I'm just super tired and didn't check diligently enough.

In preparation, here is a thread I started that may help you with her nesting area 💛 Perfect Free Disposable Nest for Birthing Queens + tips for last stage pregnant cats

As of right now, no; this isn't a replacement meal and is being used for moisture intake. All our cats free feed on Orijen Cat & Kitten or whatever it's called now, along with a generous topping of stella and chewys freeze dried morsels. The wet food is solely for moisture intake. I may...

I did just about exactly this for the home canning, I raw packed then after taking it out, I have been processing it in my food processor with warm water and it's almost doubled in amount and turns into a super thick soupy consistency that my cats went crazy for. I was actually trying to...

I love ALL of this, thank you! Do you usually cook chicken with or without the bones for the jelly broth? I'm assuming with then removed later? Not worried about rice, I've actually been trying to experiential with rice flour for the gravy base. I'm liking your methods and have been doing...

I always water down pates too, but I'm mainly hoping I can get into making my own wet food entirely. I've actually started the journey and have had a few trial and error runs so far. Bought a pressure canner and everything so I can get chicken, pork, etc on sale and can it the moment I get...

Yay, I'm glad you think so! 😊 I remember starting out 10 years ago and thinking "ahhh.. where to possibly begin...?" We have it down to a science now, so hopefully it'll help someone in a pinch, but most importantly help a new momma kitty feel safe and secure with her new fluffs 💜

I usually do this already, just a couple tbspn to add a little bit of moisture but not enough for them to notice. Because they certainly do!

So I have more cats than I'd care to admit. I own a cattery and I go through 6-8 5oz things of wet food minimum a night to give everyone a couple spoonfuls but man is it expensive! All my cats are on Orijen Cat and Kitten plus Stella and Chewys freeze dried morsels as a topper. Sometimes I...

Thank you for the kind words 😊 and yes, absolutely; titles don't mean anything when it comes to love! Especially to your own kitties 💜 but nevertheless, your cat looks spectacular. Not only 5 hours... you forgot to add the daily amount of time you spent brushing him every day for years...

That is genius!! I don't know why I didn't think of that, those blankets are crazy cheap! I always have to yell at myself every time I go to Costco because I always think 'wow, what a great deal on a blanket, I should buy one!' But now, I actually have a reason to pick up a $10 queen sized...

That's a great point, I didn't even think of that! Thankfully all of costco's produce is usually prepackaged in bags and the boxes are simply a carrier for these bags. Definitely a good thought to have in mind, though, thank you!

I didn't realize I never responded back, I'll definitely take a look at those books, completely forgot to order them but am in it now! Thank you for those suggestions, I appreciate that! The coat likely gets darker because it's thinner, so less of the lighter undercoat keeping them warm. I...

Anyone else that has ideas or tips that you use, I would love to hear them! No such thing as too much knowledge 😊
