    Gizzards are a dental health miracle

    (I couldn't decide between this forum and nutrition, so I'm sorry if it doesn't belong here!) Now, my cat is a sample size of one, so other cats may respond differently, but I'm pretty convinced a raw poultry gizzard a day is the key to amazing teeth for her. Trying to brush her teeth has...

    Dr. Elsey's beef (canned)

    Hello, I'm interested to hear how other people's cats have done on the Dr. Elsey's cleanprotein canned beef formula. I had been feeding mostly chicken and turkey, but this one is having a great sale on Chewy right now so I bought some. My cat loved it, so I thought that was that. I throw in...

    Wendy

    Not sure exactly how these posts normally work. I'm just going to journal about the end I think. This was the first animal I've had who's death I've been present for (I had a mouse die last year, but other than that I've had no pets die in my adult life.) Wendy was not a good eater for the...

    Severe arthritis

    We're going to the vet on Monday, but I wanted to see if anyone else had experience with pretty bad arthritis in their elderly cat, and what that looked like? Wendy (17+) has it in her hips and it's been an issue since I got her a few years ago, but these past few weeks have gotten worse. It's...

    Low Phosphorus Homemade And Balance It?

    I, too, am looking for a homemade replacement for Radcat for my kitty with CKD. Has anyone heard of/tried Balance IT, specifically the K formula that's supposed to be lower in phosphorus? Balance IT is the homemade cat food supplement that my vet is familiar with, and I'm wondering how it...

    Radcat's Fda Woes

    Radcat just made a blog post going into detail about how their samples that triggered their huge recall have been mishandled by the authorities: Temperature abuse of raw food samples used for regulatory action is condoned by regulatory agencies and FDA They're angry, but rightfully so! Gives...

    Bones/organs To Help Teeth For Senior Cat

    My cat eats commercial raw (Primal and Radcat), but I'd like to get her chewing on some bones or organs to help her teeth. She's 16 and missing a couple of teeth, so I'd like to start with something softer and smaller-does anyone have older cats that eat raw chews that they particularly like/do...

    Any Tips For Grooming Senior Kitties?

    Hello all! My resident cat, Delilah, is 7 years old, but a few days ago I also adopted a senior kitty, Wendy, who is 15! She's a tiny little thing with a whole host of health issues that I haven't dealt with before, so it's going to be a learning experience for me. We have a vet visit on...

    Why are Scottish Folds still bred?

    I understand there are many Scottish Fold lovers out there, but I do not understand why there is so much demand for a cat who is certain to have a painful genetic condition. There is much info about how creating homozygous folds is detrimental, but ALL Scottish folds, even heterozygous, have...

    The Difference Between Low Cost Spay/Neuters and Regular Clinics

    I saw this article today, and while I wasn't "surprised" about the difference between low cost clinics and regular vet practices, it did contain a lot of information that I didn't know and might be useful for anyone getting their cat (or dog) fixed: The Difference Between Low Cost Spay/Neuters...

    What should I use to clean my cat's paws after going outside?

    My 5 year old cat is currently indoor-only, but I think she'd do well going for little "walks" outside with a leash and harness. My only concern would be due to the fact that she's FIV positive and I'd like to minimize the risk of her contracting any parasites. I've taken care of kittens that...
