Just when I thought I thought I overcame mixing raw at home after the sad Radkat closure, my 15 year old Ragdoll's lab results just came back and has early signs of Stage 2 kidney disease (according to the IRIS definition).
I just watched this video: and am very familiar with Lisa Pierson...
Hello everyone! My cat has been on commercial raw for 2 years now (cat had diabetes for a few months then blew it out of the water with this diet). He was originally on the commercial raw that was run well then began having shoddy business practices (forgot what it was called but they changed...
I had to book a last minute flight next week so being that it's going to be Christmas, the feline-only vet I go to is full - no boarding availability. I've been shopping for other boarding facilities and have had no luck (poor boarding facility or completely full). Then I just did a yelp search...
I don't know whether to post this here in the raw forum or the general cat health forum but my cat has poor oral health genetics and has to go in for a cleaning every 2-3 years. I'll still have to take him in for tartar and plaque removal but is there anything I need to watch out for now that...
Now that I know my cat actually likes to eat commercial raw food - specifically Feline Pride's Gourmet Chicken - I'm curious about other raw commercial brands. It looks like Rad Cat is carried in several stores relatively nearby but I checked an online store that cost about $11 per pound! Does...
My cat has recently been diagnosed w/ diabetes and after much research and reading on excellent forums (Feline Diabetes Message Board), Tyler is completely OFF OF INSULIN!
Now I'm hopeful that there is a cure for his asthma...I've switched him to a wet food only diet when he was diagnosed w/...
It gets an A+ from me b/c it grows so fast and is constantly providing the kitty (and me) with amusement. Crushing fresh cat nip right off the stem brings out a strong aroma that Cookie just goes *NUTS* over. I really like that I can have an ongoing supply of fresh cat nip with very little...
Cookie was just playing with a ball of fur that I balled up after plucking it off my ragdoll when I thought...how easy it is to amuse my kitties. With all the expensive toys I've bought in the past and even the cheap ones, I've found most success with random things never intended for cat play...
Here's their profile:

Tonight I stopped by a Whole Foods sort of store and bought goat milk yogurt for Tyler. What do you think of the ingredients?
Pasteurized whole goat milk
tapioca
pectin
live active cultures: s. thermophilus; l. bulgaricus; l. acidophilus; & bifidus
I know the acidophilus is a good one and...
Due to many hairballs and loose stool, I've read much about the wonders of 100% canned pumpkin. My question is how do you store it and how long can it be kept before it goes bad?
I ask because I bought a can of pumpkin and used 3 tablespoons (= 3 days) before I decided to throw it away but...
Tyler's doing well on the Natural Balance Venison & Peas wet. He really likes it and has been eating just that for the past two weeks or so. But now, it's getting really hard to feed him wet throughout the day so I plan on feeding him NB wet for dinner and a good dry food in the day time...
Tyler had a fecal check today and while there were no parasites, he has some loose bowel and according to the vet, "foul feces." He's been raised on Royal Canin: 1/2 Special and 1/2 Maine Coon formula so I've been using the same food. I was quite surprised that Tyler's feces would smell like a...
The pink is to bring out his cute pink nose and bright blue eyes. "Pink is the new blue for boy kitties" he tells me.
He's kissing the camera with his eyes.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
I don't want to...
Hi,
Just thought I would introduce myself before I start posting about my beautiful ragdoll, Tyler. I just got him a week and a half ago from a wonderful breeder. I can't wait to post pics as soon as I get them uploaded. I've been reading the postings at this site voraciously -- seriously...
