    So Phresh Micro Crystal

    Has anyone ever used this litter? Google only shows me the non-clumping version Petco carries, but not this micro crystal one that is supposed to clump.

    How much to feed a feral?

    I wasn't sure whether to post this under nutrition or the feral cat section so admins, feel free to move it if you need to :) Anywho, I ended up trapping the feral I was after and now we are in the kennel phase. I was going to feed him 6oz a day of wet, split into two meals, but now I'm...

    Help catching a wary feral

    Hello Cat Siters! Long time, no see! I'll get straight to the problem. About a year ago I noticed a black cat sitting in the grass along the highway at the end of our road (a few miles from our house). I panicked at first because I thought it was our cat. But when I said his name, he ran away...

    Anyone know anything about dried ingredients? (ie dried chicken)

    I was looking around at some foods lately and I noticed a type of ingredient I've never seen before: dried protein sources. I know I was highly disappointed when I relearned that 'meal' proteins can contain 4D animals and packaging because I had forgotten and thought meals were just dried forms...

    Worried about kitten's weight

    So I'm watching a kitten for a friend who had to go out of town and I'm worried about his weight. She found him up a tree at what we suspect was 7 weeks because his eyes were in the process of transitioning from blue to yellowish. Now he's around 9 weeks and doesn't seem to be growing like I...

    Why don't companies make more 5.5oz cans??

    I feel like the 3oz cans are so useless. They aren't enough for a whole day, but are also too much for one meal, and they are soooo expensive. Life would be so much easier for me if everything came in the larger size. Lol

    Just caught a feral, now what do I *DO*??

    I thought maybe I should make a new thread so I could get straight to the point. I caught Marla in the trap, but I'm not sure what to do now. :dk: The cage is squished inbetween a bush and my building, and I mostly covered it with a blanket, but it's supposed to get down to around 46 at 7am...

    Home needed for friendly stray URGENT!!!

    Questions about crystals and utis

    Okay, so I'm helping out a friend who might make an account here soon, and basically she has a cat that got so crystal blocked, it went all the way up to his kidneys. This also caused him to get a uti. Right now she has him on the vet dry diet for uti (c/d I think) with water added at each...

    An interesting way to contribute to a shelter!

    This site allows you to observe and "play with" shelter cats through a controllable webcam. If you decide to buy an account (you can play for free for a limited time) all the proceeds go to the shelters to help provide for the cats. This program has also made adoption rates soar at the...

    NEED to curb this naughty behavior...

    Grim is a sweet cat. You couldn't ask for a nicer one. But man is he NAUGHTY! He's always knocking things over, waking me up all night, stealing people's food, jumping on the counter, begging for food, and making a huge fuss whenever I'm preparing it, and it's driving me NUTS. I always correct...

    Feral Momma cat is ALIVE! (PIC HEAVY)

    I could cry tears of joy! The momma cat I've seen since I moved here in August, searched for back in November (http://tinyurl.com/botkylp) and went missing for a month and I thought surely died is ALIVE! It snowed yesterday, giving us a white Christmas, and it turns out all that wishing for...

    Anybody here build computers/have a custom built computer?

    I thought it might be fun to share specs and what-not :) I ordered mine custom built from Digital Storm. I felt too shaky in my knowledge of hardware to put it together myself (and watching my friend put in a new motherboard, I saw how horrifying it can be xD), but I don't know if I will be...

    The Rescue is ON

    So the first day I moved into my new apartment, I looked out my window and saw a cat wandering down the hill and along the fence that borders the complex. I wondered what a cat was doing in such a strange place because we are on top of an even bigger hill with no houses or restaurants around...

    Puking in the morning

    Two mornings in a row Grim has puked. The first time was Saturday at around 7am; it was an hour after I had fed him wet food. That one was caused by a blockage or something because it contained two chicken giblets that had not been digested from the last meal. (12 hours ago) The second one was...

    Have I ever told you Carolina is the best?? :)

    So for those of you who don't know, I started kitty sitting for Carolina today. Her babies are SPOILED. ;) ;) Anyways, so we met up for a Boba Tea key transfer yesterday and I'm not sure if she wants me to give specifics or not, so we'll just say she gave me a super head start on feeding raw...

    I've HAD it with this vet! I'm done!!

    I've never felt quite satisfied with my vet. Its not that they've never been kind or put in any effort, but I just didn't feel as happy with them as I should be. I think it mostly stemmed from their seeming disbelief in Grim's chronic ear infections. I know when he has them and how often he gets...
