    I spent an evening cooking for my cats and took pictures!

    True but my cats may not eat it. I know Bella won’t and it’s a maybe for Mickey.

    I encourage you to even as a partial diet. Canned food is really expensive. You can save money making homemade and it’s better for them. Know Better premix allows you to choose between if you want to feed cooked cat food or raw.

    I spent an evening cooking for my cats and took pictures!

    I was able to get Bella to eat some this morning by crumbling some freeze dried chicken liver on it. I still have a lot of canned food I need to use up so I am going to start them on a half canned and half homemade diet and when the canned is used up I can put them on mostly homemade. I want to...

    I spent an evening cooking for my cats and took pictures!

    Mickey really likes the minced chicken recipe. But Bella wants nothing to do with it. I am starting with one cube split in half next to their regular canned food and as they eat more of it I can give them more. So tomorrow I will give Mickey 90% of another cube and 10% to Bella. If only cats...

    I spent an evening cooking for my cats and took pictures!

    I used pork instead of ground turkey because the meat needs to be between 8% and 15% fat and the ground turkey at the store has only 7% fat. I used the potato masher to mince it more without turning it into a pate. Mickey doesn’t have the teeth to chew chunks. He had 13 dental extractions but...

    Know Better Cat Food

    Okay…I just went to the store and bought 1 pound boneless chicken thighs and 1 pound pork. I am going to make two recipes. Wish me luck because if my cats don’t eat it I am never making this again. Some chickens and a pig died for my cats so I hope at least one cat eats the food. The sardines...

    What do you feed your cats?

    What do you feed your cats? What brands do you use and what is their routine? My cats get wet food two to three times a day. I feed a combination/ rotation of canned food such as Wellness, Whole Hearted, Tiki Cat, Weruva, I and Love and You and occasionally Fancy Feast and sometimes something...

    Know Better Cat Food

    I made a grass fed beef and sardine pate using the Know Better premix and guess what? My cats don’t like it. So I threw it away and what makes me sad is that the cow and the sardines died for these cats. What a waste! In the past I did have success with plain ground poultry and pork with the...

    Picky Sylvester

    Each cat is different. My cats get a variety of wet foods including fish and don’t get UTIs. The reason why I don’t like Blue Buffalo wet foods is because they refuse to take out the Carrageenan. Wellness respected customer concerns enough to remove Carrageenan. I don’t understand why Blue...

    Lamb or Duck?

    Can you feed both duck and lamb for variety or does it have to be one or the other? What if you bought one each to start to see which one your cat likes better?

    Hearts or Gizzards

    Hearts are a good source of Taurine. I think it’s good to alternate proteins from time to time. Chicken is good but I would also feed turkey too. A lot of cats become allergic to chicken. I wonder if that’s because that’s all they are being fed. Are you giving these as treats? Because if it’s...

    Rant! Vets drive me crazy sometimes.

    I absolutely will be extra sweet to my cats and spoil them and give them extra love. I told them I am sorry and that I wish I could explain it to them. I think if they could understand they probably would have volunteered their pee but they don’t. Actually I had my cats medical records sent to...

    Know Better Cat Food

    I just ordered some Know Better premix. Even when if only one cat eats it it’s worth it. In the past Mickey ate it and Bella didn’t but if I can get both to eat it that’s even better.

    Rant! Vets drive me crazy sometimes.

    Update: Neither cat used the Perl cat litter and I was unable to get an acceptable urine sample from either cat. The vet informed me in order for them to get a urine sample directly from their bladder in the future I will have to remove access to the litter box at least 5 hours before the vet...

    Rant! Vets drive me crazy sometimes.

    It’s 5:00 a.m. I am feeling a massive and overwhelming feeling of guilt for locking Mickey in a room and making him feel miserable while waiting for Bella’s urine sample. If I can’t get a urine sample from Bella by 8:00 a.m. which unfortunately means 3 more hours of torture for poor Mickey who...

    Rant! Vets drive me crazy sometimes.

    The reason they gave me the pearls is because they were unable to take urine samples directly from the bladder and I did my best to see that they had full bladders keeping them away from the litter boxes prior to their appointment. Right now at 3:30 a.m. Mickey is literally trying to break down...

    Rant! Vets drive me crazy sometimes.

    It’s 3:00 a.m. I can’t sleep and my cats are miserable because I have to separate them until Bella pees. Neither cat wants to use the litter box with the pearls. I’m very angry with my veterinarian for making me worry about my cats kidneys and making me spend a lot of extra money when they most...
