I've been feeding Tiki cat, the two chicken formulas, as part of my girls' rotation for a couple of years now. I just started a new batch and the Puka Puka Luau is full of little black specks. Since I recently received my next order, and it is a different batch I opened one of those and that...

I was sure I'd seen this discussed here before but searching did not bring me any useful results. Can someone please answer? Is there a difference depending on the game? Deer, was actually the meat in question. Thanks

UGH! Mazy cat ate two strange bugs! Ugh! There was just this long creepy crawly thing, either an extra long earwig or... but I think it had a lot of legs, with pinchers on the end. Ugh, I stepped on it and meant to pick it up but got distracted. Then I saw another one so stepped on that one...

Hi all. I'm looking for any information, links and personal anecdotes about the use of Apple Cider Vinegar in cats. Specifically raw organic, "with the mother in" ACV. Benefits - any kind from digestive, to urinary to anti-inflammatory or any other dosages possible negatives Plus I have a...

I find I need to find a home for my daughter's 2 cats. She is to undergo a bone marrow/stem cell transplant to treat lymphoma and she will be allowed no pets for a year. She lives near Fayetteville, NC. While I would love to find someone to foster them for year, I realize this is unrealistic as...

Queen Eva somehow ingested one of her own whiskers, and it was in her poop today. What a strange sight! It was acting as a thread holding all the little pieces of stool together. Weird. I wouldn't have thought it could, but.....could a whisker potentially cause a problem for a cat? The thing...

Reading up on egg yolks (trying to find out how much B vitamins they supply) I discovered that egg yolks have a lot of vitamin A. Concerned about how much vitamin A, I went looking for more information. I found this article in feline-nutrition.org. But the two tables have me even more confused...

When I enter the forum I have it defaulted to my "My Subscription" page. Tonight suddenly the grid is taking up more than the screen on my computer. So stretched out I can't even see the margins. My private message list is the same. This reply box is also huge. What's going on?

I hate wasting the egg whites when the cats get their yolks. Since I am in need of high protein breakfast (for me) foods that don't contain dairy I wondered if I could poach up the whites and eat those. Or would it be gross? I am not normally a fan of egg white but maybe I could get used to...

http://news.pg.com/press-release/pg-corporate-announcements/pg-voluntarily-recalls-limited-quantity-dry-pet-food-due-po Iams: both dog and cat Eukanuba, dog only list at the bottom of the article. SO FAR. Be alert to new batches added to the list, that seems to be the way these kibble...

Ugh! I HATE having to use this stuff on them. But I can't risk an infestation. They don't have fleas. They never have fleas. But I spent the day at a flea infested house, and I know, in spite of my efforts I brought them home with me. After I left the flea infested house I: Sprayed my car...

A couple weeks ago, I was cutting up beef and there was a lot of fat to discard. Other times, when I do poultry, there've been a lot of skin. In the heat of summer it doesn't take long for those kind of discards to start stinking in my outside trash barrel. Anyway, when I was cutting up the...

I've been talking with someone in the very early stages of considering a raw diet (we've all been there!) She has a concern about cleaning the litter boxes, if bacteria (ie: E.Coli, C.Dif or Salmonella) from the raw meat is passed through the feces into the litter box. Somehow it's not...

I have noticed this before in Mazy, and may even have another thread on it a few years ago. Every time Mazy is on Tresaderm ear drops she has increased appetite. I would have thought the steroid in tresaderm would not be enough to cause this type of side effect, especially since it is put in...

Would freezing canned food destroy the added vitamins and minerals?

What appeared to be a "little ball of wax" in Mazy cat's ear was not shifted with the treatment. Mazy had a re-check today. Vet flushed the ear out today, it didn't budge. Soaked up all the liquid and looked again, and showed me. Some kind of round brown ball lurking down there looking (to me)...

I already take all the skin off. But both Mazy and Jennie have high cholesterol readings on their first blood work 10 and 11 months (respectively) after starting them on raw. Their canned food portion is only 6% fat, so it has to be the prey model meals. But I don't see how there is any way...

The other morning, early in the morning (she sleeps on my neck) Mazy woke me up making the snuffing/coughing noises that indicate she was having a reflux episode. I got up and called her into the kitchen and fixed her a tiny meal (.15 oz canned) mixed with 1/8 teaspoon of SEB and a little warm...

My cats are fed a combo raw and canned 50/50. Jennie had a vet appointment on Wednesday, and she conveniently pooped right before it was time to go so I scooped it up and took it with me. It was a classic raw/canned poop, I should have taken a picture! I noticed they have a new tech there at...
