I've got three kitties from the same litter that are now about 2.5 yrs old. Two males and a female that all were neutered at 15 weeks old and are indoor cats. The girl Peanut is by far the smallest and has never appreciated rough play like her brothers do. Peanut and her brother Red used to get...

I recently bought a big bag of #3 gelatin capsules to downsize human probiotics/vitamins and encapsulate bad tasting pills. I tried it last night with the cat's tiny ondansetron and it did seem easier to hold and I think it tasted better to her also. Is there any issue with the gelatin caps...

Here's my earlier post with more details if necessary. Basically my IBD kitty had been taking the Vet's Best Digestive Aid pill that contains psyllium and slippery elm every day for months. Since her last bad episode (detailed in other post) she refuses the pill. I have been giving her...

I started posting here back in November about my cat Peanut's long term issues with vomiting. That issue is still not resolved with no clear diagnosis and is a roller coaster ride for sure. She seemed to be doing better with some dietary changes. I wanted to go raw eventually, but can't get the...

This is exactly how I saw this when I came into the room and it cracked me up. It looks like a magician cut my cat in half! Nope, just Red being a goof ball. Oh, sooooo comfy.:lol3: Funny thing is...I brought this nasty old box up from the basement to help me weigh the cats on the postal...

I'm in the process of transitioning my three kitties from free fed kibble to meals of canned, homemade, and hopefully raw later. I'm doing this mostly for my girl Peanut who has some digestive issues (covered in depth in other posts, but probably food related IBD). But after all my reading I...

I'll admit I am jealous of my dog Chief. My cat Tubs gives Chief way more affection than I get. Chief has never really had much interest in the three cats. He lived for 13 years with no cats and his only cat experience was chasing ferals (including my kitties feral mama) out of the yard and...

Hope this works... just figured out I need to do my videos in You-tube instead of Picasa and have been playing around with it. Tubs was trying to be sneaky and hide from everyone in a Christmas decorations box like so. His brother Red gave him away and was cramping his style. This is Red's...

I just ordered my first bag of Alnutrin with eggshell today. I plan to use it with cooked food initially. I noticed the basic recipes on the Alnutrin website call for skinless meat, liver, the Alnutrin, and water only. Recipes here and elsewhere using the Alnutrin use skin on meat for at least...

So I was over on the feline nutrition site reading about IBD and the "healing power" of bone broth. Then I read about it and watched the You-Tube video from Dr. Becker too. They mostly covered using a stockpot or slow cooker and simmering for up to 24 hours. I found some other sites about making...

In the grand scheme of things this is really minor and I have a feeling it will be my behavior that needs adjusting... not the cats' ! I am attempting to make the transition from free fed dry food to scheduled meals with wet food, home-cooked, and maybe eventually raw food. The three kitties get...

I have like 20 tabs open now reading about raw and cooked food already. Too much info, eyes glazing over! I'm thinking I may have to try cooked food first before I venture into raw. One thing I am struck by with the raw is how better quality organic fresher meat is important, just like with...

Some of you may have seen my post about "too much angst with pet food" on the nutrition forum already. That is just regarding trying to get my three kibble addicts to at least eat some canned food. One has probable IBD w/ vomiting, one is getting portly. They are trying small amounts of all...

I imagine the crowd here is like me and has spent more time than they probably like trying to pick-out what to feed their cats. Being a newish cat person I realize I am spoiled with my dog. He will eat anything I put in front of him! I still have to figure out what foods are best for him...

Hi everyone. I spent much of yesterday reading health related posts here and countless articles online trying to educate myself and make some hard decisions regarding my lil Peanut. Yes... I had to post her picture to try and lure you in to helping us out.   I have been slogging through tons of...
