    Cat suddenly a picky eater: Should this be a cause of concern?

    I have a two year old cat, Magnus. I've had him since he was 5 months old, when I adopted him from a TNR group (he used to be feral with his mom and brother, but would eat food left out by someone, so he was partially socialized in that way). Anyway, when I adopted him and up until a few weeks...

    Magnus turns 2

    Took some photos of Magnus on his second birthday. He looks a bit cranky because I am interrupting his nap.

    Found this fella's photo online, wanted to know if he was a breed or ?

    I saw this handsome fella's photo online (with no info) and wanted to know if he was a specific breed. He kind of looks like some sort of  melanistic wild cat or maybe a hybrid or maybe just a really strongly featured Maine Coon? (though his ears seem way too long for  a domestic?). I was just...

    Playtime with Magnus

    So I made a new video today of Magnus in his cat tree, so you can see him in all his dark fluffy glory ;) And there is this from a few weeks ago as well (wait for the bunny hop at the end of the video, he does this all the time, it's so cute)

    Meat Popsicles

    So as some of you know, I have been feeding my cat Magnus, some raw and a rotation of mostly grain-free canned foods. I tried giving him some commercial raw (Nature's Variety Instinct) but he kept turning up his nose at it, but LOVES boneless raw meat in general, as well as giblets.  ANyway, I...

    Help me choose for Senior Cat picture of the month

    Hi I decided to submit a photo of my cat Harley (now RIP one year) to the senior cat photo of the month contest. Also, he's been on my mind a lot lately because it's his one year anniversary of his death so I just wanted to show some photos of my guy. I still miss him... Here are some photos...

    Should I be concerned about this?

    A few days ago I noticed something a bit off about my cat's eyes. I'm not sure if they are tear stains or areas where the fur got worn or ? (He's a black cat and it's bit hard to see). I called and left a message with my vet to see if this is something I should bring Magnus in about or if I...

    Question about adding a second cat

    Not sure if this is the right area for this but I am debating getting a companion pet for my 14 month old cat, Magnus. I have not made up my mind yet, and am weighing the pros / cons (not to mention I live in an apartment so I don't have any good way of separating the two animals initially)...

    Just noticed a patch of missing fur

    I just noticed my DLH, Magnus, has a very small spot of missing hair up between his shoulder blades. The skin does not look scabby or anything, just there's a little bit of fur missing (the spot is maybe a third the size of my pinky nail, so not very noticeable unless he bends his neck forward...

    Question on Turkish Angoras

    Now I understand that stray cats are very rarely anything more than a moggie (and in fact most cats are not anything in particular), but I always wondered about an old cat of mine I had when I was younger. I had this cat when I was growing up (he was with me from the age of 5 til I left for...

    More Photos of Magnus (Big Floofy Black Cat)

    Magnus is thirteen months this July.... and he's gotten so big! I can't believe how time has flown. Some photos from the past week (we had to shave his belly because we have triple digit temperatures here and we have no air conditioning in the house so he was getting a bit uncomfortable - so...

    Being Bad! (lol)

    Lol I thought it was odd this morning that Magnus didn’t do his usual “wake me up by standing on or next to my head tapping on my face til I get up and feed him” routine. Then I saw why: My husband had left a bag of dried chicken breast treats (100 percent chicken breast and nothing else) out...

    When to transition to "Adult" food feeding levels

    Hi My cat is almost a year old. He has a huge appetite and gets about 8 to 8.5 ounces of food a day (mostly grain-free wet food, but he also gets some raw). He turns a year old in June sometime. I am not sure how much he weighs but he is not fat. He feels solid. I'm bringing him to the vet...

    Kitten fur to adult cat fur changes?

    I have a long haired black cat / older kitten. He's 10 months old. When we got him at five months old, he had some grey hairs in his undercoat in his belly. He was fuzzier as a kitten, then he got more silky as he got older, but now his fur seems like it's getting thicker and changing color...

    How do you all feel about NV Instinct Raw?

    I went to a different pet food place than I normally do today and was happy to find some commercial raw food as well as EVO and Before Grain wet food (which I had been wanting to try but the other pet store I go to does not carry them). My 10-month-old, Magnus, currently gets fed wet food...

    Magnus Posing

    My Magnus turns 10 months old this month and yesterday he was posing for me (he was staring off at a sunbeam) so I was able to take some half-way decent photos of him for once. I am totally biased but isn't he the cutest? ;) Here he is actually trying to attack the sunbeam...

    Morning Nips

    My 10-month-old has recently started some behavior that I am trying to nip in the bud (pun intended!). He has a voracious appetite (the boy can't get enough food it seems) and he's at his most hungriest in the morning (as I am sure some of you have experienced with your own cats). Anyway, after...
