We have been feeding our 3 cats homemade raw (the same recipe) for three years now. They get two meals a day. One of our three cats, Penny, has always been a little more reserved when it comes to food. She has gone through phases where she has needed to be convinced to eat (we would hold a...

Grrr! Walmart has done it again- I go to buy litter today and there is no more Fresh Results Corn Cob Litter! They replaced it with 'Litter Maid Premium Corn Cob' which has a picture of the fresh results on it! It is scented and has a different texture though. Not cool at all! Does anyone have...

After more than 2 years of feeding homemade raw, I finally gave in to a vet's advice to pay for a nutritional consult after some recent tummy/pancreas issues in one of my three cats.   Dr. Valerie Parker of the Ohio State Veterinary Medical Center charges $212 for a phone consult and another...

Howdy folks-  My little Bear Cat ended up in the ER this weekend and I would appreciate some Cat Site feedback. Sunday morning, before we noticed anything was wrong, we had  fed him and he ate normally. Then we started to notice little puddles all over the house.  He had drooled so much...

I noticed yesterday ( or maybe two days ago) that my male 2 year old cat has a lump under his chin. I rub his chin all the time so I am fairly certain that it is new as of the day I noticed it. It is the size of an pencil eraser, the ones that come attached to the pencils. Today, I looked closer...

   My little Bear has been crying a lot lately. He wakes me up every morning between 3 and 5 am by crying outside my bedroom door. He will calm down a little once I come out of the bedroom, but he won't completely settle until he eats breakfast. Sometimes he will go upstairs and cry in the...

My two year old male cat, Bear, has this weird habit of chewing nothing. He definitely doesn't have anything in his mouth (for example he will sit up from laying in my lap and start chewing). When he does it he makes this weird noise... kinda like the noise you would make when you pretend to eat...

Venting-     We had our three kitties at the vet for rabies vaccines and micro chipping yesterday morning... now all three are refusing to eat their dinner.  We just got them back to eating normally last week... our boy had surgery and really threw everyone's appetite out of wack.  I am...

So my 1.5 year old male  cat, Bear, is having trouble in the litter box tonight... the nearest emergency vet is not an option. The local vet opens in 14 hours.  We have been suspecting that he is a little constipated since a vet visit for skin irritation two weeks ago when he got injections of...

I have a cat, a 16 month old fixed male, who is very 'emotionally dependent' on my husband and me. So much so that it is causing problems. He goes through phases and right now he is in one of the worst yet. Last night was the third night in a row that he woke us up ( no cats in the bedroom) by...

So, I just noticed 3 red spots on my cat's heels.  Bear is a 14 month old indoor cat. I have two others (his mom and sister, also indoor only). We have been battling fleas all summer and just treated them again on the 17th (almost two weeks ago). We have not seen any skin issues with any of...

I am working on finding a long term supply for the other secreting organs for our homemade raw. We have a bit of trouble with sourcing in general because our cats have poultry allergies. Our recipe- 1 lb muscle, 1 oz liver, 1 oz other secreting organ, 1000 mg fish oil, 1/2 tsp eggshell powder...

We have been feeding our three cats homemade raw made from meat and organs since this spring. Its been great except for a small amount of constipation that we fixed. We have been running into trouble with sourcing the organs locally (I'd rather not buy meat/organs online if possible) so we made...

Hi All!    I am trying to find a home for the most adorable and loving little stray cat. We cannot keep her (financially we have our hands full with the three we rescued last year). We had her fixed at a local TNR clinic to keep her from producing more kittens that we would feel the need to...

I noticed my cat's eye had a little discharge when I got home from work yesterday ( 24 hours ago). When I got home today it had some more discharge and she tends to close it a little more then the other eye. I looked at it and it seems as though it is a little bit swollen but I cannot see...

I need some help deciding what to do with a stray cat... back story-- So I have a repeat of last year on my hands... in early april, my neighbor across the street starts 'taking care of' a new little cat. By memorial day weekend little kitty is waking us up with her 'boyfriends' on our patio...

So I've been making most of our raw ground food with alnutrin mixes, but I have been looking at making the food according to the percentages for frankenprey (80-10-5-5). My question is this: All the ground recipes I see (that don't use commercial mixes) call for extra vitamins in addition to the...

I feed homemade ground raw. I make some with alnutrin with calcium and some of it I make according to the 80/10/5/5 ratios using eggshell instead of bone. So my local grocery store sells beef heart for pretty cheap ( in comparison to other muscle meats which are usually twice the cost). My...

So I picked up some beef heart , beef kidney, chicken liver and turkey at the store today; I was looking to add more diversity to our normal foods. I don't really know what I was thinking when I picked up the kidney (other than that it looked really neat).  We normally use alnutrin with calcium...

So I am back again with a new question. I am doing calculations for amount of food based on the  2%- 4% of body weight and also by 15-25 cal per lb of cat. I am coming up with widely different amounts and I don't know which to go by.       Here are the specifics-  I have started feeding raw...
