    Diagnosed with Hodgkin's-like lymphoma

    It's been a while since I've been here. My dear Chloe has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's-like lymphoma . I've never experienced this before since Chloe is my first pet. I'm also having a hard time finding information about it, it seems like it's not a common form of cancer. Has anyone had...

    No dice on high quality foods

    Portioning raw food

    So I finally found a guy that grinds rabbits whole with everything but fur! He sells them in 2 lbs packages. How do you guys portion out the meals? Do you guys thaw one day at a time or a few days at a time? Is it safe to thaw all the food I buy for the sake of portioning them?

    Dubia Roaches, crickets

    I know people that breed Dubia roaches for their reptiles. Of course sometimes there are a few that escape their bin. My friend's cats just wait around the roach bin and gobble them up. Is that ok for them? The roaches are usually fed some veggies, fruits and organic cereals.

    Cat won't eat certain meats

    I'm trying to switch Chloe back to a raw diet or at least half and half with the Honest Kitchen. She simply refuses to eat chicken and cornish hen. The only meat I've had success is her eating beef. Has anyone else had trouble convincing a cat to eat a certain meat? I read that beef shouldn't be...

    Honest Kitchen Quality Went Down?

    Hi everyone, So I've been feeding Chloe Honest Kitchen Prowl and Grace for a few months. Everything was great litter box wise. Her poops smelled a bit more than when she was eating a 100% raw diet but it was whatever. I bought a new box a month or so ago and I realized her poops have been...

    Cat Attacking Me

    Sometimes my cat will start arching her back, put her ears back, tilt her head sideways and breathe really hard (audible breathing). Then she'll straight up attack me. Today she almost broke skin biting me. Saying no doesn't deter her at all and she's about 8 months old. I'm not really sure what...

    Cat bottom lip swollen after feeding canned food

    Hi everyone! I've been feeding my 8 month old kitten Chloe a mix of raw meat and Honest kitchen. I decided to mix in Evo canned food instead of the raw meat. I gave her a dab every meal. I decided to try the venison flavor. 2 days later her bottom lip was a little swollen. I thought nothing of...

    New convert, left the dog side for cats ;D

    Hi everyone! I was always a dog person and one day I saw a craigslist ad for a kitten. Unfortunately on impulse I adopted my kitten Chloe when she was a little over 7 weeks old (way too young).  Well she's been with me for a few weeks now and she hit 12 weeks two days ago. I'm not so great at...
