    Three year old now a grazer! Also MEGA picky! Start over? New proteins?

    After dealing with this for a month or so I finally am caving in and making a thread about this.  Lox is a three year old female, her last weigh-in was at 7 pounds. I've had her for a year and a half, and for the past eight months I have been feeding her the following: Chicken ground w/...

    Please decipher! Is this play? Or not quite?

    Hi all. Now, I don't think Lox and Bagel dislike each other. For sure they are still adjusting to each other (Lox moreso). I wanted to ask for those who have multiple cats - Are the actions shown here play? Or something else? They both take turns being the instigator. Sometimes one will...

    Is it normal for a 4.5 month old kitten to have a spay away (pouch)?

    Hi all, I have a kitten named Bagel, he is a pointed DLH. He's around 4.5 months old right now, and will be neutered soon.  I know for kittens it's generally advised that the kitten eats as much as he wants. He eats around eight to ten ounces of raw everyday. Before, I had him on four meals a...

    The Lox and Bagel thread

    So as some of you know a few weeks ago I adopted a new kitten named Bagel. He's healthy now and has been getting free roam of the apartment along with my three year old, Lox. I figured it was time for me to make a thread for BOTH of them (already made a thread of Lox before) not only to document...

    How to get 14 week old kitten used to grooming?

    Hi guys.  My newcomer DLH Bagel finally has recovered from ear mites, fleas, coccidia, and an URI. He'll be around 14 weeks old. Now that he's not sick, I've been wanting him to get used to a routine for grooming. This includes teeth brushing, coat combing, claw clipping. He doesn't run away...

    Dark brown eye crust in corners of eyes

    Hey guys! I recently adopted Bagel, a 9 week old DLH kitten. He started sneezing so I took him to the vet today. I noticed that Bagel has some dark brown eye crust everytime he wakes up. Here's a photo of him: Look at those crusties! Yuck. Haha. So I asked the vet about it and she told me to...

    Bagel and Lox's introduction

    Hi guys. A few days ago I adopted Bagel, who is 9/10 weeks old. Our resident cat Lox just turned 3 not too long ago. Right now our set up is having a baby gate with a blanket drooped over. Lox has been a good sport- She's accepted his presence via smell, although she will sometimes hide under...

    Flame point DLH! Any resemblances to actual breeds?

    Hey all!  And here is him with my friend holding him. And here is him sleeping just now. Anyways, I definitely think he is going to be long haired judging from his ear tufts. His nose/snout (?) did seem shorter than the other kittens I saw but honestly I don't know too much about kitten...

    Talking about blood

    So, I went to the grocery store the other day and I found hunks of pork blood. Yes, just plain ol' pork's blood. In tubs.  I've been thinking about adding some of this blood to her meals kinda like how canned food will have gravy. Does anyone know if you can over-dose on nutrients by doing...

    Recommend me a small upright freezer to put on top of my fridge?

    pinkman here! I finally settled in the new place. I've been super busy so I haven't been on TCS as much. Just started volunteering and started to workout. Phew! No, I haven't got my freshly-slaughtered chicken or chicken feet... I still have a decent amount of ground left that I want to go...

    Will be working at an adoption center, any precautions to take to minimize territorial issues that m

    Hey ya'll. So probably around the end of the month I will be starting shifts at an adoption center 30 minutes away from me. I'm super excited, but I was wondering if there are any pre-cautions I should be taking so I do not upset my resident cat so much. I'm still at that orientation phase so...

    Cat losing appetite after fireworks, already cautious due to move

    Just when I got excited about chicken feet at my supermarket this happens...  I moved last Saturday, and things were okay. Lox is not herself, but that was expected. I moved her to the new location after everything was moved to the new place. She was confined to a room with her litter box...

    Protein/Calcium ratio for chicken feet?

    So I moved! Instead of the halal butchers like I mentioned earlier in a different thread, I did venture out to a "supermarket" a couple blocks away from me... I was very happy with what I saw! Lots of different pork items, goat, chicken livers, kidneys, hearts and gizzards (sold separately!)...

    IRC channel for TCS? Chatrooms for cat lovers?

    I'm not sure if I should be posting here, but here we go... Does such thing exist? I've always thought about it. I guess most of us are working or have busy lives so it may not be possible. But I think an IRC channel (a chatroom) for TCS might be something interesting. I've been on a few online...

    Question about Alnutrin and Whole Prey Feeding

    Hey all.  I have been feeding a mix of ground raw with Alnutrin and Frankenprey (balanced, of course) recently, and a couple questions have been coming up. First is, does Alnutrin go bad if not placed in a refrigerator if unopened? I bought a new packet online and totally forgot to read that...
