    Cat grieving - should I adopt a friend?

    Hi, A little over a month ago I unexpectedly and suddenly lost my 10yo boy Percy. Luckily I was able to get him to the vet in time to say goodbye and let him go in peace.

    Why does Wellness say I need to feed my cat 16.5 oz a day?

    I'm giving my guy a break from raw while he works through a digestive problem. I'm used to feeding him only 6 oz of raw a day, but the 5.5 oz can of Wellness suggests "1.5 cans per 6-8 pounds of body weight per day". He is a healthy weight of 16 lbs. That can't possibly be correct, can it...

    Refreezing

    For reasons too boring to go into I need to repackage 4 of my 12oz bags of raw into one larger portion. Would it be safe to thaw and then refreeze or is this a no-no?

    Hare Today - cats have stopped eating it

    Hi there, I feed my guys whole ground rabbit from Hare Today. They've been eating it 3x a day for over 8 weeks. I just got my new batch in from Hare Today and I made it just as I did before - 1 scoop Alnutrin per 1lb of rabbit plus 2-3 C water (they like it on the soupy side). I put some down...
