Hi dawnie42, I'm fighting the same thing now. My cat usually isn't a picky eater and eats everything, but he gets very finicky every beginning of summer as the weather gets hotter. His pickiness appears only in the beginning of summer, not year-round, but it does happen every year. So I...

Thanks for your advice, mschauer! I see, so I can't assume bones from chickens and cattle are similar and that's where I was wrong. I didn't take it into consideration when I tried to calculate, but the bone composition of humans (and probably many other animals) is much different from that of...

Hi Catsite, I found finely ground beef (with bones) at the butcher's. They can tell the calcium content of the product, but don't have its bone percentage. I need its bone percentage because I use frankenprey's 80/10/5/5 ratio as a general guide. Could someone help me calculate the bone...

Thanks for replying Margd!  Yes, any viruses and coldproof strains of parasites from unusual meat scare me   I once even brought some venison juice to the vet to be tested for parasite eggs! Some parasites even live in muscle meat... guess there are viruses too. The eerie thing is, when the...

My friend has some extra crocodile meat from Australia. We aren't sure if it's from wild source. It doesn't sound too appetizing for me, but I can get some for my cat. Though we've been open to adding some irregular variety to my cat's raw meal, it's not worth risking anything. I guess crocs...

Hope the stool gets better! In addition to RC turkey being made of poultry, they use powdered eggshell as a calcium source instead of bones. Bones are said to be harder to be utilized, so as a result the stool becomes more chalky from the residue. RC doesn't help firm up your cat's stool this...

Hi DeviousOtter  According to their website, they recommend feeding  as much as your kitten will eat in 3 or 4 feedings per day, up to 20 weeks of age. I think many vets recommend the same thing...

Hi JessV!   Thought you were too busy to come! Glad to hear your cat is getting better! Hope all goes well when you switch the supplements too! Yes, I try to feed my cat as naturally as possible!   Though sometimes supplements are necessary. Commercial cat foods made of multiple protein...

Guess the burning issues aren't so common! I do have to make sure the bottle isn't empty though! It's so easy to forget something when I'm busy   

I see it wouldn't be good to unplug before I go out, when my cat needs it most! Though I'm a bit worried because I can't return home immediately if anything happens... I'll see if my cat does anything to the diffuser (bat, lick, rub against it etc.) He is often interested in something odd. I...

Yes, I want to see what happens when we use Feliway before I'm really busy. My concern is... I did a little research and some people claim to have experienced burning smell from it. Maybe I should use Feliway diffuser while I'm home to leave the effect, then turn it off while I'm out? Thanks...

Do you continue probiotics and digestive enzymes? If the bone came out undigested after a while, your cat may need more digestive enzymes and these supplements might help. Raw bone fragments are usually digested fairly quickly. I give my cat meat, meaty bones and organs in a ratio often used in...

Thanks for the link Handsome Kitty!  I'm planning on ordering the Turbo Track online along with other toys and supplies. With a few sets we can make a decent highway, but I should start small in case our room doesn't fit in this large toy!

Thank you for the reply Handsome Kitty!  I'm not sure which link you mean... you mean your photo or the URL Winchester shared? I think I'll have a good time building up the whole highway too!   Hope my cat enjoys as much!

Thanks for replying Handsome Kitty!  I see you have a large turbo tracks! My cat would prefer it if it has interchanges like yours... I'll try to get one with cross roads. As for the wand teasers, it may be the way my friend moves it then... at least my cat didn't run away or look especially...

Thanks for the video Grrr Cat!  I found my cat runs up to the window when I use cat TV. He may think the sound comes through the window, because he knows the birds come from the outside...? He sometimes likes birds chirping, sometimes prefers other random things though I haven't tried many...

Thank you for your reply Winchester!  Yes, I have Da Bird and other teaser wands! My cat also loves laser pointer. When I'm home I play with my cat every time he asks me to unless I'm very busy. We play 5-10 times each day using toys, or just play tag or hide-and-seek. It's great if they can...

Thanks for the useful website! Now I want to try it myself, not only for my cat!  I think I'd try Spirit Essences first! I wouldn't be able to blend essences properly before I see the effect of pre-blended essences. Though I usually believe in traditional medicine, I've been interested in...

Glad someone finally found this funny! People often don't understand why I'm using secondhand stuffs from my cat 

Thanks for your post evamilly!   I try not to worry too much, as that can make my cat nervous too! Yes, my cat seems to be mainly sleeping when I'm away. Igloo beds are so cute! I got one a while ago, which eventually became my book cubby.  I knew my cat may not like it because the bed was...
