    Diluting Bone Content of Commercial Raw

    Hi guys! I've just been to the vet, and the vet felt like my Billi's poo felt a bit pebble like. So she would like me to reduce the bone content in his diet. I currently feed Darwin's Naturals + Hare Today Bone-In ground meats (+ Alnutrin for Bone-in ground and Fish Oil). They both claim to...

    Cats out of control because we're home

    I don't know if this is happening to your cats too, but my cats have become so needy. I think it's because I'm home all day... Just wanted to share my experience and see if anyone else is experiencing something similar: Aloo - She had always been food obsessed, but now she harasses me for meals...

    Just started with Hare Today

    Hi everyone! I was feeding Darwin's Turkey and Chicken for a while, but I wanted to add more variety in protein, so I am giving Hare Today a try. I have ordered Turkey, Chicken, Rabbit, and Duck, 5lbs each (Fine Ground Bone-In) along with Alnutrin and Fish Oil they listed on the site. I have...

    Slow feeding apparatus for raw food?

    My cats tend to eat too quickly and puke that expensive food all out 😑 I know they make slow feeders for dry and wet food, but I'm not sure if I can use them for raw as well? I'm afraid of bacteria building up in the crevices. Any cat parents with solutions to gobble pukers out there? 😆

    Wet to Raw Transition

    Hi everyone! I have been trying (seriously) for few weeks to transition my cats from wet to raw. I have been feeding high quality canned food only, twice a day for years, but after doing some research, I've decided to take the plunge and switch to raw. I am doing Primal Frozen Raw, as it is the...

    Ringworm treatment

    Hi, I've been dealing for the first time with ringworm on my foster kittens and one of my own cat. They have been on oral and topical medication for about 2 weeks, but the area affected seems to have expanded a bit. Should I be concerned? I've also been cleaning and disinfecting the house, and I...

    Toilet and tissue paper shredding

    My 2 year old girl cat, Aloo, started taking out the tissue paper from the box in the morning, about a month ago. I bought a tissue box cover, hoping to discourage her, but she still goes at it. Now she's started attacking the toilet paper! This morning, I woke up to find the toilet paper...

    Cat scared in the morning

    My boy cat, Billi started hiding under the sofa in the morning. He does not even come out when I give food out. Aloo, the girl, is out and about, not having a care in the world, but Billi seems to be scared of something. Sometimes he comes out when I look under the sofa, but he stays really low...

    What does the kitty want?

    My mom is catsitting her friend's cat for the second time. The owner dropped the cat off with the necessities both times. The kitty is a 4 year old shy Calico girl. Both times, she hides for a short time, but after she comes out, she is very talkative. Basically, she meow and meows all the time...

    The purr switch

    My girl cat's purr switch has a hair trigger. I think it's out of her control. She is an outgoing girl, but she does not really like to snuggle or be petted. BUT that does not mean the machine does not get turned on whenever I touch her. Sometimes it even goes off by me simply looking at her...

    My boy walks on me at night

    My boy cat wakes me up at night by walking all over my chest. He goes across then back repeatedly, which is quite painful, even though he only weighs 9.5 lbs. I don't know what he wants. I play with him before bed, and I give them treats afterwards. He sleeps next to me at times, and it's so...

    Hungry cats! Are they not getting enough food?

    I have two young cats (18 months old) who weigh 9.5 lbs each. They are indoor only but pretty active. I feed them twice a day, one 5.5 oz canned food each feeding (around 180 kcal/can). I was looking at the feeding guide on this site, and it sounded like this would be enough for my cats. But...

    Went on a date...

    I went on a date with this guy that also had two cats. During our conversation about our cats, he admitted to free-feeding kibbles to his cats because he didn't want them to bug him for food... Yes, I judged...but I smiled and suppressed my inner voice, yelling "you should stop free-feeding...

    Dried chicken dog treat for cats

    I've gotten a bag of dried chicken dog treat (it's just dried chicken) and have been giving to my cats as night time snacks. They do seem to love it. One of the cats LOVE to chew, so I was looking for something chewy at the store for cats, but I guess chewing is more of a dog thing. I'm curious...
