Hi all, I am an on/off again visitor to this site, I keep chickening out of feeding raw (my own meat + a complete mix is what I want to do). I did just make a huge leap and order from Darwin's -- their introductory 10 lbs for $15. Does anyone use this? Please tell me your experiences. Kit...

is it possible to have my user name changed? when I signed up for this site I had 2 kittens, Buddy and Bella; they lived to be each 2 years old and crossed over in 2015, a few months apart. Now we have our beautiful Kit, so I am Kit's Mom. I would like to have the user name of LovesCats&Coffee...

Greeting cat lovers! My Kit (1 year old now, wow) has taken to scratching on a particular piece of furniture in our family room. It looks very similar to this, but with the swans facing butt to butt. The swans are wood, and she scratches the wings. She has plenty of scratching things of her...

My Kit is 11 mos old now. We always meant to get her a playmate, but real life and illnesses etc. got in the way. A co-worker is possibly looking to re-home two cats the same age as my Kit. These two are brother/sister siblings, not related to my girl at all. They are fixed, they're up to...

So I am not sure where to ask this question, and I know each cat is different but: Kit had her surgery yesterday and we are going to retrieve her in a little while.  I've not had kittens before where WE got them spayed and had to care for them immediately afterwards.  Yes, I know the vet will...

Hi all, not sure if this is the correct section for my question.  I am probably pushing my luck with my little girl, 6 mos old now and getting her spayed.  She has been getting all her vaccines through a minute clinic, and she's finally all done.  She has an appointment tomorrow at the full vet...

Hi all!  I've noticed lately that Kit seems to prefer chunky food: she will devour most of the can of Sheba "cuts" chicken/turkey, whereas she pokes at (over a few hours) the Pate of these flavors.  I know that the recommendation when buying these cheaper foods is to stick with the Pate/Classic...

Hi all!  Well we've had our  Kit for coming up on 5 mos now and it was always our intention to find her a playmate.  We just have not got around to scouring the shelters in our area PLUS, Kit is not fixed yet (she will be on Nov 1).  Meanwhile, the lady that rescued Kit (but could't keep due to...

Hello all -- I know I've read on here a million and half times that you can't really overfeed a kitten, but I still want to run this by you: Kit is now about 6 months old and only gets wet food.  I feed a large variety of canned food, some premium (PRIDE by Instinct-like), some mid-range...

Hi all!  Lately, I find that I have to trim my budget quite a bit, so Kit has been getting more and more canned Sheba, Wellness, and PRIDE can instead of the stuff that costs a lot more (freeze dried raw, Instinct frozen raw bites, etc.).  I am finding though that she will only nibble at some of...

If possible, I would like to request name change, as, when I signed up for the site I was Mom to Buddy and Bella, but they were both taken too early in their kitty lives :( as you can see in my signature. I would like to change it to "LuvCatsNCoffee" if that is possible. Thank you

Little Bit had her first vaccines this past Tuesday at the clinic in our local pet shop.  Vet told us some signs to look for, including vomitting, fever, swollen face, etc. (I have a list).  She was totally fine till the wee late hours on Friday night, when we noticed her limping on back right...

These are what I am currently rotating, would love some opinions on this line up (all canned, most are pate style): Merrick: duck, kitten dinner (think that's chicken based), rabbit, (some others I forget, she's eaten them) Nature's Variety Instinct: rabbit, duck Nutro: chicken, chicken &...

Hello All -- my journey with my new kitten is going really well.  That's her there in my Avatar, she's about 7 weeks old now.  I am feeding her a combination of commercial raw (freeze dried, frozen nuggets and frozen "bits") and Wellness kitten; she gets NO dry except for 2-3 kitten pieces when...

Hi, I have a new kitten, about 4/5 weeks old.  She came to me about 5 days ago just lapping up mother's milk substitute.  But I've started feeding her a gruel of the milk + Wellness kitten.  Last night I bought some Instinct "mixer" supplement stuff, and some Performatrin (Pet Valu) food.  She...

Hello, I used to come here a lot before my 2 fur babies crossed; I found you all when my less than 2 year old boy (Buddy) was dx'd with kidney failure.  I learned so much here about feeding my babies good food. Sadly, Buddy did eventually pass on, as did my other baby (Bella, from FIP).  Both...

I've got a bunch of cans of food that my cats only feel "eh" about sitting in my pantry.  These are foods that are considered "better" foods.  I also have some Primal freeze dried nuggets,  I have two question related to the Primal. First, is it ok to use the nuggets crumbled into the "eh" food...

UGH...last few days, my furkids have been really weird about eating their wet food.  This is food that they've loved and eaten no problem as recently as a week ago:  Wellness chicken, Wellness turkey, turkey & herring.  I did try some cheap food from Tractor Supply, but it looked like reasonable...

So this morning both my "kids" were picky about what was offered to them.  The first bowl was leftover from the can they heartily ate last night; I had warmed it up, and added a bit of water (I always do that), and they both only took a few bites and walked away.  I coaxed them back to their...

OK, I have fully transitioned my 2 fur-babies to 100% wet food.  They get fed early a.m. and early p.m., with a small moist treat when Buddy finishes his nightly sub q fluid treatment (he has kidney disease).  Feeding these 2 is relatively easy, except for when they want to constantly switch...
