My naughty kitties turned on my drinking water faucet and flooded my house. I’m afraid they’ll figure out how to do the same with my regular faucet. These are the most cat proof design I’ve seen. Wondering if anyone has any other suggestions? Not sure if one dial orientation would be better...

Wondering how others feed freeze dried raw. I feed Northwest Naturals (may also try Stella and Chewys) and have always crushed and rehydrated it and and created a mash. My kitties love it but honestly I am way too lazy to do this more than a couple times a week. The instructions seem to...

Smudge came home the first week of October. He’d been eating primarily fancy feast beef pate (adult formula, foster said he wouldn’t eat the kitten food) with a little kibble too. I fed him mostly this when he came home, with one or two other FF flavors. He does get a little merrick kitten...

My 5 mo old kitten is a little bitey. I think he’s just playing, but obviously I want to discourage this. He will nip at my feet, etc. I’ve read they are teething at this age, so hopefully it will happen less and less as he gets older. Are there any specific types of toys that might help? I...

I am clicking on the picture icon and then choosing a photo from my phone or iPad camera roll but instead of showing up in the post, it shows up as an attachment. What do I need to do so they just show in the post?

I will be bringing two kittens (4-5 mos old) home on Wednesday. They’ve been using a fresh step clay litter. I use world‘s best. I know you are supposed to switch gradually, but at this age, with a new home, do you think I can try just putting out the world’s best and see if they use it? If...

I am adopting a 5 mo old male kitten who has been eating Hills i/d and this wet food. His foster believes he is ready to transition to a regular food. What would be the best options to try first? He will mainly get canned food but I will have to supplement with some dry food on the days I work...

She eats so little, and while she primarily eats wet food now and I am happy about that, she doesn’t eat enough, and I would like to have some kibble for her to snack on while I’m away from home. I’m desperate enough that I just looked up the ingredients of the Temptations food, which are as...

I have a 17 yo female tabby with early kidney disease. I recently took her in for an emergency visit for a UTI and we will be seeing her regular vet next week. Her SDMA was 21, up from 13 about 6 mos ago. I got some cans of hills and royal canin Rx kidney food and thankfully she will eat...

My little old lady had a personality transplant and now wants to eat wet food. But only the right wet food of course. TLDR: what higher quality foods have similar texture to Fancy Feast in gravy? Long version: In the past she wouldn’t even look at canned food. She’d been eating dry and...

My cat Henry is nearly 17 yo. Her brother (a littermate) passed about four years ago. Her sister passed in December. They were not buddies, but did live together for 12 years. I wasn’t planning to add to the household, as I figure it would not be good for my little old lady to have to adapt to...

She gave me a heart attack yesterday refusing to eat anything. Today we tried a few different foods and thankfully she ate so I think she just decided she didn’t like her food anymore?! She’s never liked any kind of canned food for more than a minute and in the recent past would not take a...

Yesterday my nearly 17 yo cat had one wet ear. The hair around it is still crusty so probably some more discharge today. She is indoor only and hasn’t been around any other animals since my other kitty passed a month ago. I don’t see any sign of blood or mites—nothing looks out of the ordinary...

I recently started using an automatic feeder. It recommends you replace the desiccant pack (charcoal) every two weeks. I’m wondering how necessary this really is or if it’s a waste of money. I’ve always stored dry food in the simple human pet food bin or a plastic container with a snap on cover...

I very unexpectedly lost my girl today. I still laugh remembering the pet finder ad that described her as a sweet girl. She was anything but sweet, but did show me she loved me in her own ways. She was never a lap kitty, but on the day I wrote her sister’s name as my favorite pet on a security...

I am hoping some one else has figured out a way to keep kitties safe from the cords on blinds, while still being able to actually use the blinds. The majority of the year I keep any given set of blinds always open or always closed and wrap the cords around the top, but now that it’s a thousand...

I know there are some that refrigerate the food but not sure how safe this would be with raw? I feed my cats the Stella and Chewy‘s frozen raw dinner morsels and just discovered a local store carries the similar product from northwest naturals and got a bag of that to try as well. There is at...

Thought I was grabbing a bag of the Stella and Chewy‘s turkey medallions, which my cats ate most of the time, but sometimes were not enthused about. In reality I had grabbed a bag of the frozen rabbit morsels and both cats are loving them. I will have to try the turkey too. They would not eat...

Petsmart, petco, and chewy all have some that look like they might work but wanted to see if anyone has a specific recommendation. I need something on the larger side that won’t slide around on my faux wood floors, and the bowls won’t slide all over the mat. I would think the rubber and silicone...

I have one cat with IBD and another with a finicky stomach. Looking for alternatives to Dr. Elsey’s until their production is back up to speed, I found firstmate, but the turkey formula also contains chicken liver. This probably needs to be avoided since many IBD cats cannot have chicken? My...
