    A foster problem!

    I had a stray hanging around for about a month. Only saw her in flight and thought she was a feral. One morning she was on my porch and came up to me so I took her in. I used to work at a no kill humane society and they took her for adoption but I am keeping her at my house. She is very...

    Stray cat weight & health

    Hi All! I was seeing a cat intermittently around my house. Assumed it was a feral and was trying to come up with a plan for TNR. I live in a leash law community so getting TNR done is precarious! One day my own cat alerted me that the cat was on the porch. I took a bowl of food out and this...

    constipation with raw food

    Hi All! Been feeding my cat commercial raw food for about 4 1/2 years. I think she has been constipated for all this time. Her stool is very small and dry. She goes everyday she has a hard time getting it out. My vet suggested Metamucil which worked for a time but then upset her stomach...

    Teeth! Just Had A Shocking Conversation With My Vet!

    Hi All, I posted awhile back that I was concerned because when I took my girl in for a cleaning they said she needed a tooth pulled & a canine was going as well. Today I noticed a missing canine so I called to make sure it was the one in question. I thought she was missing a total of 2...

    Is Plague Off Powder Safe For Cats

    I posted awhile ago that my part Siamese girl had lost a tooth and the vet wants me to put Oravet Gel on her teeth and gums once a week. This has not been going well. I had to approach her from the side with the applicator and this results in most of the gel getting on her face. When I tried...

    [GA[/GALLERY] I had my first kitty for 8 years and had his teeth cleaned once. He was 13 when he got cancer. My current girl is 5 1/2 and I had her teeth cleaned 3-5-18 at the vet's suggestion. Normally take her in about March for yearly check up but this year we didn't get there. Yesterday...

    Grinding? Portions? Supplements?

    Hi All! Like many I am having trouble finding a substitute for Rad Cat! I am using Signature Chicken & Signature Rabbit as well as chicken and turkey from Darwin's. Not happy with either of these because of the bones, vegetables and additives. I was thinking about Hare Today products or...

    Anyone Use Darwins?

    I am almost out of RadCat. Bought some Instinct & Primal and really don't like the looks of it. Wanted to try Darwins but they want autoship. Have any of you tried it and how is it?

    Cat Is Throwing Herself At Screen

    Hi, my cat and I live alone! To keep her entertained I open the patio door and let her view all the birds, chippies, etc. through the screen door. Now I see that she has been trying to charge the prey and has pulled the screen away from the spline. One more push and she could be out in the...

    Foster Kittens Not Eating

    Hi All, I have not been on for awhile. Anyway, I picked up 4 fosters about a week ago for socializing. They are about 10 weeks old. When I brought them home they seemed a tad skinny. I feed all cats either canned or raw. My last group was just like this and they ate at least 3 5.5 oz cans...

    Commercial Raw is not what I thought

    Hi everyone! Just read some really shocking information!  I got my new cat 2 years ago & wanted to feed her raw food.  The vet said fine but not to use grocery store meat because it has high bacteria content.  Well, I have been feeding her Nature's Instinct for most of the two years thinking it...

    Foster kittens

    I picked up two foster kittens from the shelter today.  They are supposed to be 5-6 weeks old but are very tiny.  Their little cheeks have no meat on them at all. Their eyes look too big for their heads.   No one said anything but they appear to be starved.  I can't think of why else they would...

    foster colors again

    I have two foster kittens from the same litter.  One is a orange tabby male and the other is a tortie female.  Does this mean that the male cat's mom was an orange tabby?  I am trying to follow that a female kitten will be the combo of mom and dad colors and the male will be the mom's color. ...
