You do not indicate where in the world you are, so this may not help.... You can also check Craigslist for independent, local sources such as people with extra rabbits or chickens, or even feeder mice.  However, it seems to be THE most expensive way to go.  And Hare Today is a great independent...

I try to get the leanest cuts when serving beef - the "round" cuts (top or bottom) are lean.  I also get roasts which makes cutting the excess fat off easier.  It can be very confusing while at the store, but if you study up on the "primal cuts" of beef, you learn which part of the steer a...

Do you have a regular vet?  Ask them to calculate your cat's daily caloric needs, then begin reading cat food labels so you know the caloric value of what you are feeding.  I have had cats all my life, but my newest one is the biggest munch mouth I have ever had...constantly meowing and looking...

You could also try one of those heating lamps used for lizards, etc..she could sleep under it.  I have a cat that loves to sleep on the back of my couch, right under a reading lamp when its on.  All kinds of basking, heating products available in the lizard section of the pet products. BTW...

What about mixing raw egg yolk into some water?

FWIW:  Cats with owners that like to play a little rough with them create cats that will bite a little.  I know, I was one such owner.  My late cat Houdini (RIP) was a big Maine Coon type. When I got him at 6 months, I thought nothing of letting him attack my hands in rough play.  I am not in...

Anybody have a former stray (shelter adoption) that thinks they STILL live on the street and is constantly looking for food?  My kitty Dexter is 1.5 years old, very healthy - but acts as if we never feed him!  Don't know his story, but I adopted him at 1 year - Humane Society had taken him in as...

Issues like this are why I like rotating recipes and premixes.  Also, its supposed to be for cats and dogs...do dogs have higher iodine needs?

I do need to try some soon; it would be a nice change from the chicken or beef we always make.  Then I want to use it in refried beans.

I had tried to reverse engineer the Nutro Natural Choice canned food line - but my efforts did not work with my cat.  Have you read about demi glace? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demi-glace Demi glace is a meat broth that has been cooked and reduced for some time - turning it into a thick...

Hmmm...I make cold process soaps.  I use a variety of oils (olive, palm, etc...).  Soaps made from 100% coconut oil cut grease better than dish soap.  Its so effective, most people can't use 100% coconut oil because its too drying to the skin - its stripping off so much of one's natural oils...

I am so sorry you guys went through this - my sympathies.  I euthanized my thyroid-diseased cat in March - RIP Houdini. Now onto your original question: I cannot give you a "researched based" answer; that is, a detailed response that critiques what your vet told you.  I can only relay what our...

She may outgrow it.  Dexter has really mellowed in the half a year I've had him. Good luck and I hope it all works out. 

How old is the cat?  Like Vball91 said, she could outgrow it.  Dexter was one year when I adopted him...in the several months I have had him, the chewing has diminished.  I'll never know, really, if it was the lamb pizzles or not.  But he sure loves it when I hold one end and he chews the...

My cat did a little chewing. I bought some "lamb pizzles" from Hare Today - dehydrated lamb penis to be specific.  Its like a rawhide chew for dogs but sized smaller.  When Dexter would chew on something, I would distract him with it by kind of poking him gently in the mouth with it, as if to...

FABULOUS! If you can stand more advice: I had broken off with a guy that continued to stalk me.  Had a one year restraining order in place. One year later, to the day...he was calling me again!  Now, there is a 20 year restraining order. If he does make life difficult, be sure to document...

Every single time I tell my boyfriend to stop being mean to my cat he turns it into me being crazy. *************************************** OMG...didn't even see this sentence. ANOTHER huge red flag.  This "you are crazy" is also characteristic of abusive relationships.  Take it from a person...

"My boyfriend says that he hates cats and that my cat in particular is "a big furry baby" so that's why he doesn't like him." THIS.  A person may not particularly care for a particular species of animal, but to say they hate an animal, without a logical reason (like they suffered an attack by...

One way to look at it is from a purely financial standpoint: after a time, you've invested $$$ in those cats...food, vet bills, etc... I'll be damned if I let my hundreds of dollars invested in this creature walk away!  Think about it: even if they wander off and get picked up by The World's...

The fact that he will let you pet him is HUGE - I think that's a good sign he'll come around eventually.  It is early days yet.  Even a cat that comes into a new home, and is very well adjusted, has some "adjustment behaviors".  When I first brought Dexter home, he was a well adjusted one-year...
