    Cat gets belly wet when he pees

    Hi. My cat Zeke is a big boy, and when he uses the litterbox, it’s like he’s sitting on the litter, and he pees a lot at once, and then he jumps out, dribbling and tracking pee everywhere and it sucks. I have to wipe him down and wash him, with grooming foam, or he stinks. If I could convince...

    Traveling with stressed out cat

    My 12 year old ginger boy, Bilbo, has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. We’re treating him with methimazole, and hopefully will get him treated with radio-isotopes soon. He gets EXTREMELY stressed during car rides. Urinating, defecating, crying, drooling, both there and back, and it’s only...

    Tightness Of Collar

    I took my cat Zeke to the vet for constipation, and as I was paying and they got him ready, the vet came out with his collar. She said his collar was too tight, they had to loosen it to get it off over his head, and the fur under his was gone. I said, yes, we’ve noticed that, but the skin...

    Constipated/stuck Stool

    I’ve been feeding Zeke raw food for almost 4 years, and it’s gone well. I’ve managed to get him down from over 20lbs to almost 15lbs. He’s 8 years old. But today, he was seriously straining to poop, wandering through the house clearly in distress, even laying on his side and straining. It...

    Could fur in whole carcass rabbit cause hairball problems?

    Hi all. One of my three cats, Zeke, has been ill. We just got back from a $427 vet visit. !$$$! Starting on June 23, in the morning I found a very large hairball, which I don't recall having ever seen him retch up a hairball, and diarrhea in two areas outside the litterbox. (He's strictly...

    Raw feeding with a pet sitter

    Hi. We've got three cats. I've been raw feeding for about 3 months, it's going well. Two cats really like the raw food, one is coming along more slowly, getting raw mixed with canned. We're going on a trip for a week next month and we'll be using a pet sitter we've used before, but not since...

    How watery do you make your cat food?

    Hi. I'm curious how moist y'all tend to make your homemade ground raw food. I've been adding enough water to make a consistency like canned pate food, but I'm thinking of adding more water to future batches. I've got a very overweight cat l'm trying to get to lose weight, and I was thinking...

    Do ground whole carcasses need supplementation?

    Hi. I started feeding raw a couple weeks ago.  Started with boneless ground chicken or turkey with TC Feline supplementation.  I've found a local small butcher shop where I can get fresh ground turkey and chicken at a decent price.  So far they prefer the turkey. I just put in my first order...

    new to raw - it's seems overwhelming!

    Hi.  I have three cats.  We've previously moved from dry, to grain-free, to grain-free canned, now I'm trying raw.  One of my boys is overweight, about 20 pounds, and I'm hoping that a quality raw, high protein diet will help him feel more satisfied.  Plus, I just have to be more strict with his...
