    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...

    Getting a urine sample at home

    So right now I have my cats in separate rooms because I need to get a urine sample from each of them just to rule out kidney disease since my vet was so concerned about the possibility. My cats are not happy. My question is how many hours does it usually take? They have to use that small amount...

    Know Better Cat Food

    Has anyone here tried the Know Better premix that you mix with either raw or cooked meat to make a balanced diet. I have used it for the cooked recipe before and I think it’s comparable to Smalls without the subscription price. My cat Mickey really liked it but Bella refused to touch it so I...

    Rant! Vets drive me crazy sometimes.

    So last year I took my young cats age 4 and 5, now age 5 and almost 6 for their dental cleanings. The vet did blood work and found borderline high creatinine levels in both cats but said it could be the cats just didn’t have anything to drink that day. During the dental the vet wanted to take...

    Vets with alternate information

    So I like my new vet because he doesn’t say the same things that most vets say. I will tell you what I said. Feel free to to agree or disagree. He says to brush a dog’s teeth but not a cat’s teeth because cats get sores and lesions in their gums we may not see and we can hurt the cat by putting...

    Ideas for letting my indoor cats get a little fresh air

    My cats are indoors only. I live in a small 2 bedroom condo and I don’t even let them out on my balcony because the railing is thin, they might jump on it. I also promised the Rescue House when I adopted them I wouldn’t let them outside. Sometimes I feel guilty for keeping them in prison…my...

    Fresh Pet cat food

    What do you think of Fresh Pet cat food…the kind that looks like a wet kibble. I buy it only at times when I have a limited amount of money to stretch out my cat food because it is inexpensive and better that dry food. But some say it’s too high in sodium. Of course the company says they only...

    I need some advice.

    My cat Mickey often has a dirty anus. He has dried tiny poop pieces stuck to it. Every time I try to clean it with a wet paper towel he runs and then when I finally catch him and try to wipe it off it doesn’t come off. I love him but I don’t love his dirty butt. I let my cats sleep with me too...

    Beware of Facebook Cat Groups

    I know I shouldn’t be upset but I have been shamed by some cat people who strongly believe that cats should be allowed outside. Not only do I keep my cats indoors but I live in a small 2 bedroom condominium and I have 2 cats. I cannot afford a house so they live in my condominium “prison” which...

    Mickey’s Dental

    I’m feeling so stressed today. My Mickey is only 4 years old and during his dental today he had to have 13 teeth extracted. It was a nightmare to get him in his carrier.

    Rejecting Hills pet foods politely

    As we know many veterinarians push Hills pet foods and with my cats dental issues it is very likely that Hills T/D a corn based high carbohydrate, low meat and high in indigestible fiber dental diet will be prescribed. I understand veterinarians who sell these products believe in them but those...

    Freshness of dry food

    I’m wondering once you open a bag of dry food how quickly do you have to use it? I feed mostly wet and find myself sometimes feeding dry when I don’t want to because I am afraid that if I don’t use it within 4 to 6 weeks that it will go rancid. I had my cats on wet food and Ziwi Peak dry...
