    Transitioning: gravy licker to fully raw

    Dear all, Thank you for your forum posts as they have been immensely helpful. Hugo and I are in the midst of transitioning over to raw. He was previously on a diet of grain free wet and dry and we're transitioning due to the recent discovery and bout of FORL where some teeth were extracted. So...

    Wheatgrass: Smelly Cat Feces

    Not sure if it this is the right forum. Hugo has always been on a grainfree diet of wet and dry together (Acana, Sheba and some air dried raw as topper). He has a water fountain that he drinks quite frequently from. Recently (as in two days ago), I have started to give him fresh home grown...

    Moving overseas with cat and more

    Dear all, Thank you for all your advice over the years and it has been key to my education of bringing Hugo as my first cat who has just crossed 2 years of age. Now the time has come that I leave my job and move back home (international air flight within Asia - 4 hours, pets not allowed in...

    Peeing more in summer

    Dear people, I am writing because I have a tendency to freak out and that nearly 2 year old hugo is my first cat. Over the last two weeks, I have discovered that Hugo now pees 3 times daily (one more than usual) and the third is usually a smaller clump (3/4 size the others) compared to others...

    Thunderstorms and nighttime anxiety

    I'm kinda stuck on this and need some advice. I adopted Hugo close to 1.5 years ago and we have quite a good relationship (he like to suckles on my t-shirts). We have feliway in the bedroom where I sleep and he dozes sometimes. He poops and pees quite regularly and his diet is a mix of 6 oz of...

    Making the leap for raw for the coming year

    Pardon if I ramble since this has been 7 weeks in the making. I have posted twice on the other board about how Hugo has gotten picky with his food and his recent visit to the vet came to no conclusion except for "stress". I dug around a bit - fretting like most and buying all varieties of grain...

    Enticing Hugo to eat Grainfree Wet again

    So... the story goes is that Hugo went off his wet food (Mostly Merricks and a bit of wellness in between) over the last 2 days. He's still eating his dry food and he's just not interested in his wet food anymore even though I rotate 4 different flavours through the week. I'm a bit stuck here...

    1 year old, suddenly eating half his food, drinking water and lick lips

    Hi, It's me again and I'm not sure if this belongs in the behavioral section or even if this might be just a fluke. Hugo had a healthy appetite till yesterday when he refused to eat his wet food (usually grain free Merricks - half can of 5.5 oz spread through 3 feedings) or finish his dry food...

    11 Month - Overweight or just big plus some diet questions

    Hi, Hugo just got his first yearly check up (at 11 months or so) and he weighs 4.9 kg or close to 11 pounds. The vet has concerns about him being overweight (He has a loose flap of skin on his belly) and mentioned that Hugo ideally be at 4.5kg/10 pounds. i) I'm just curious if he is right since...

    First Annual Check up - What to expect

    Hi, Hugo is due to go for his annual check up soon and I'm wondering what to expect or ask at such a check up. Would there be a blood panel, urine analysis or fecal test? Sorry for the questions as this is my first cat.

    Should I be worried - sporadic inappropriate urination?

    Hi, I'm not sure if this should be health or behavior but here goes: So today is my second day of my staycation and I was having an afternoon nap with Hugo (10 months old male rescue)  on my bed. Shortly after I woke up, I found him in a loaf position next to a coin sized (maybe $0.50) wet...

    Sharing the bed with the cat... or the other way round

    So... It has been terribly hot here and I have switched to having the air conditioner on when I sleep. Hugo usually sleeps in my bed but he does have his nightly crazies where he runs about. Lately, he has taken to sleeping in quite a bit at night and there are some mornings that I find myself...

    Feliway - Long term use?

    Hi there, I'm writing just to generally ask about Feliway and if anyone has used it for long term. I started on Feliway with Hugo because we had a semi rough start where he would bite and scratch my hands for the first 2 weeks that he was with me. After that, I decided to give Feliway a try...

    Feeding Schedule when owner is away

    Dear all, :wavey: I hope I am not repeating anything here again but I will be travelling for 2.5 weeks at the end of May for some work reasons. Given the situation, I have started roping in help for people to feed Hugo but this is the first time that I will be away for such an extended period...

    Kitten ate a bit of tin foil

    Dear all, Thank you for all your helpful advice over the last couple of post. I feel bad for only asking questions but it is my first time. As I write this, Hugo, my 6 month old kitten, has eaten half a small ball of tin foil while I was unaware. I managed to pull the other half out and I read...

    Natural Balance Ultra Cat

    Hi Guys, Thank you for your comments thus far. (And boo to me for mixing up the name of the feed - it should be Alpha Cat) It turned out that Orijen did go stale on us (we have been having a spate of humid and wet weather here in Hong Kong) and towards the end, Hugo wouldn't even touch the dry...

    Orijen cat and kitten: how long does it keep and kibble rotation

    Hi there, I just joined two days ago and it seems like Hugo has all of the sudden become finicky. Hugo is about 5 months old rescue, unneutered male (he gets neutered in 2 weeks) and always been on a 50% wet, 50% dry grain free diet. I tend to buy an assortment of different flavours of wet...

    Hello

    Hi, Just dropping an introductory note and a thank you for having this forum. It has been immensely helpful since I just adopted Hugo, a rescue kitten 2 months ago. He's doing good and we have been working on grain free food and a bit of apple cider vinegar on the side. Here's to more to go...
