    UTI?

    So this morning one of my cats is doing the peeing thing, everywhere. I just went to the store to get some D-Mannose. The only thing I've done different in the last few days has been giving her egg yolk powder because she's chronically constipated. I'm wondering if that threw her PH out of...

    food/numbers/variety

    Does anyone follow Dr Pierson's recommendation for cat food? High protein, low carbs, medium fat & low phosphorous? I have a spreadsheet of different cat food brands & log what the numbers are. So far Weruva is the only brand that checks all the boxes. Since most of their products have fish in...

    Vital Cat freeze dried raw

    My understanding of products like this is, everything is ground up fine & then shaped into nuggets, patties, etc. The last couple of times I fed this, there were actual chunks of bone that I picked out. Once in the rabbit & a few times in the chicken. Logically thinking, if bone is dried & then...

    over eater

    Does anyone have advice for an over eater? Just like clockwork my fat cat will go to the food about 5 seconds after I shut the light off at night, she'll eat, walk around, eat, walk around, etc until all the food is gone. There is no way she can be that hungry. None of my other cats can get food...

    gunk in claws

    So I've noticed there is black gunk in between my cat's claws. It's litter, I'm sure. It's like the nails are hollow & stuff can get inside them. When I went to trim one of my cat's nails, she swatted at me, so that got me thinking how & why. I tried to dig some of the black stuff out but she...

    recent hospital stay

    So my cat was laying in one place all day on Sunday, I noticed this late afternoon. This is not normal, she usually follows me around & is near me. I knew she didn't feel well so I offered her some kibble, she ate a little. Monday am she went back to the chair she was at on Sunday. I was gone...

    scratching posts

    Do you keep or toss your scratching post when it starts to fray. I personally don't have the $$$ to buy new ones the minute the carpet starts to come off. I have 3 old posts with sisal & some of the carpet peeling off. I have pulled chunks of carpet out of 2 of my cats thumb claw. Would they...

    sick baby

    When you notice your kitty isn't acting the way they usually do, they don't want food, no cat grass, no kibble & is sleeping a lot, do you watch them? Or do you take them to the vet? How long to wait?

    help need food suggestions

    I have spent countless hours researching & learning about cat nutrition. After my 17 yr old girl died of kidney failure, I knew when I got more kitties, I was going to not feed dry & to feed a low carb food. They have grown up on NV Instinct & when they started getting fat I switched them to...

    Holistic Vet

    I've never been to a holistic vet before but for my health I've always seen a naturopathic doctor. I am highly considering going to a holistic vet. I would love to hear about some of your experiences & if you would recommend seeing an alternative practitioner compared to a traditional one. thanks

    morning cat

    So I have an over eater. Every morning before I get up & have a chance to feed, she will go along the floor & grab fur balls. She does this on the carpet & on the laminate. I know she's hungry but it's so crazy to me that she wants to eat the chunks of fur. She also does this side grinding...

    needs more fiber

    A couple of my cats I've noticed are straining when it comes to pooping. So since most people on here know what they're talking about I looked for fiber or ideas on what to do. I tried giving a tiny amount of whole psyllium husk, that worked. Then I read that egg yolk lecithin not only helps...

    supplements

    Hello, I found a few supplements that are good to give, such as probiotics, enzymes, fish oil, vitamins, etc. I have one picky cat & one cat that will pretty much eat whatever I put down. Lately I've been giving D-Mannose & a probiotic for breakfast & then egg lecithin for dinner. Oh also I've...

    ear infection

    Hi there, one of my little ones has an ear infection. I took her to the vet today & they swabbed her ears & told me it was yeast. They did an ear wash with ph notix & then really cleaned both ears out. Before we went into the vet, I knew my baby was uncomfortable. Her ears are red & she would...

    dry matter or metabolizable energy

    Yes I am one of those people that have my own cat food list, have performed numerous calculations to convert food & now I say, what do I do with this info? Dr Pierson's list contains ME & Tanya's list contains DM. Which one's better? I can't get any clear info. Does it even matter? I wonder if...

    ckd & wet food only

    I am curious if there's anyone out there that has a kidney disease kitty that has never eaten dry food, dehydrated food, dried treats, etc. Has anyone ever heard of a cat developing ckd by seriously only consuming wet food???

    non dust kitty litter

    I'm sure there are hundreds of posts about kitty litter, I've tried so many different brands, I started a list. Every brand seems to leave a fine dusting over my black cat's paws. I just cringe thinking of her ingesting that dust. Pretty much all the brands that say no or low dust, there's still...

    those darn cats!

    So I am at a loss. I have tried many fish oils on the market, salmon, sardine, mackerel & my cats refuse to eat their food when I add it in. Same thing with probiotics. I want my babies to have the benefits from these goodies. What I've been doing is putting pumpkin down on the plate, adding in...

    Bowl, Plate, Floor???

    Hello everyone, I'd sure like to know in what do you feed your kitty(ies). I've been using paper plates but am finding it's getting a bit pricey to go through like 6 a day. I wanted to hear about other options & what others do. I typically use a paper plate if I feed raw & a paper plate when I...
