Hello all, I recently in the past few months switched my two cats from mostly commercial frozen raw (with canned wet every few days) to all canned wet food. I did this mostly for cost reasons. The price for raw has nearly doubled in the past few years and I've since become semi-retired. They...

I've been trying to save some money on cat food. I recently switched my two cats from mostly commercial raw to mostly canned wet food. So far I've bought locally with a few online purchases when I've seen a sale. I've done some looking on Chewy but I find their search engine frustrating. I'd...

Hello everyone, I have two 7 year old cats that I adopted when they were 6 months old. They have been fed mostly commercial frozen raw since then. During the height of the pandemic it was easier to stockpile wet canned food since I don't have a lot of freezer space so they ate mostly canned...

Can you feed freeze dried raw without hydrating it first? I’m thinking as a treat so not a full serving — maybe just a few pieces. My cats are otherwise fed commercial frozen raw with the occasional freeze dried treat (NW Naturals Raw Rewards) that isn’t formulated to be rehydrated. My cats...

Hello - I've had my cats for about 4-1/2 years - I got them from a rescue at 6 months. I don't know their exact history before I adopted them, but they were possibly born feral or outdoors or taken from their mother too soon. They were super skittish and it took months of working with them to...

I have two 5 year old cats (adopted at 6 months) and we use 2 litter boxes side by side. We've always used pine pellet litter and the cats are fine with it. Never had a problem with poop smell, even when I forget to scoop, but the urine smell seems to get bad quickly. I think part of the...

One of my kitties, Link, hasn't been interested in eating since yesterday. Last time he ate was Saturday evening so no food Sunday and still wasn't interested in his breakfast this morning (Monday). He has been drinking water. He's a little less energetic but not at all lethargic and doesn't...

I'm distraught. In April my highly sensitive, exclusively indoor cat Navi got outside and it took us 26 days to get her back inside. She was in our yard or very nearby the whole time, most likely. But I only saw her a very few times and that was near the end when I'm pretty sure she finally...

I’ve posted elsewhere about my indoor cat Navi who was displaced outside for 26 days. So relieved she’s finally back home. But her brother Link is not so happy. He has been hissing at her and I’m pretty sure she just smells differently. He also liked being the only cat, but I’m not sure that’s...

My exclusively indoor cat got outside and was out for 26 days. She mostly hid in the bushes but I put out food and she ate some of it so she didn’t totally starve the whole time. She didn’t look too bad on the surveillance camera or the few times I saw her in person. But now that she’s back in...

Navi, one of my exclusively indoor cats slipped out a door left ajar by mistake and has been outside almost a month now. (I have another thread in the feral/stray cat forum about trapping her.) She is almost 5 years old and I adopted her and her brother when they were 6 months old. I don't...

Hello, My two cats are nearly 5 years old and I've been feeding them mostly commercial frozen raw (Small Batch) since I adopted them at 6 months old. For the past year I've also been giving them some high quality canned wet too since it's been easier for me to stockpile that during the...

Hello, I've already posted in another area about my exclusively indoor cat who got out 10 days ago. She's showed up on the surveillance camera and I think she's still hiding in the yard and have been receiving advice on how to trap her and/or lure her back in. This has actually happened twice...

I have 2 exclusively indoor cats that I adopted together when they were 6 months old. They are now almost 5 years old. I’m pretty sure they were born feral and they needed a lot of work. They still have their quirks but are pretty nice house cats and I love them immensely and am devoted to...

This week I'm taking my two 4 year old kitties in for their required rabies vaccinations. The vet will also do a wellness exam. They are exclusively indoor cats and very healthy. I'm updating the rabies due to county law and also the off chance they catch a mouse or critter that got in the...

Is there something about these three proteins that make them better than some of the more common proteins such as chicken and turkey. One of my kitties (who are 95% commercial raw fed with some goats milk/yogurt and the occasional high quality wet) went through a period of vomiting so I took...

I have two bonded sibling cats that I adopted when they were 6 months old. They're now about 2 years old. I don't know their history but I suspect they were born feral and perhaps spent a significant time without human interaction and/or were taken from their mother too early. They were a lot...

My two kitties eat 75% commercial frozen raw and 25% wet canned. I was also giving them some re-hydrated commercial dehydrated raw but one of my kitties started to have tummy troubles from that so I've stopped that for now. We'll be away Saturday night next weekend and I'm trying to think of a...

I have 2 kitties and 2 litter boxes. I know 3 is recommended but 2 works just fine. In fact they had used just one for awhile but its easier for me to keep things clean if I have 2. Right now the boxes are in different rooms but I'm thinking of putting them side by side in the same room. Is...

I've been trying out different brands of freeze dried raw to see if my kitties will eat it. So far so good. I've been feeding it to them rehydrated, but am wondering if feeding it to them dry on occasion is just as bad as feeding dry kibble. Right now they are mainly getting commercial frozen...
