considering a cat

dad otm

^^^sb

she decided to do it after reading about best cat diets on the internets lol

I love your mom!

my girlfriend's favourite thing in the world is reading about cat diets on the internet and even she doesn't cook the chicken before giving it to the cat!! but maybe only because she hasn't read that page yet.

Making cat food is something I want to get into.

i love her, too! she's pretty swell.

the thing is... they still won't let the cat live in the house! they bring him in to play every night and let him stay in the garage, but won't let him live in the house :( he also got in a fight with the other random cats in the neighborhood and made sure they knew it was his house/scared them off <3

guys, kitty was last seen fighting w/ black and white stray (who i hear looks nasty and mean; we hate him) and has not shown up to be fed in a few days. i am super worried. also, i dreamt about him twice! i hope this does not mean it is his kitty spirit telling me he's gone :(

best beloved kitteh

t try not to fret--kitties do the disappearing act sometimes, then come back safe and sound (see: ian's kitty)!

q do you let q out into the wilds of dc?

thanks, q. my mom is so sweet. she drove around looking for him and even went to the humane society to look at strays and see if he was there. i know they run away like that, esp after a fite, but i just worry he got hit by a car or something :(

kitty q is an indoor kitty, and fortunately has shown no interest whatsoever in going outside. our old neigbor had a cat whom she let outside; kiki would just hang around the front porch, not really going anywhere, and come inside when called.

the cat still hasn't come back, but my mom is STILL looking for him! she stops by the shelters to look at kitties and apparently just sent a message to a feline urgent rescue place. she is the sweetest. <3 this lady so much!

Our cat was diagnosed with diabetes on Saturday. We have to give him insulin injections 2x/day. It's actually easier than giving him a pill, though.

I'm sorry to hear that Hunt3r, though glad it got caught. Our cat Drac is diabetic, but we've got it under control just through his diet so far.

:(

what do you feed him?

I had a cat with kidney failure that I had to give subcutaneous fluids to twice a week. No fun!

cutty, if you're asking what Drac eats - he was on Purina DM for the past 2 years, both wet and kibble. It's one of the highest protein kibbles available, and Drac was all about the crunchy food. Recently though, they changed the formula of the wet food so it's mostly liver or something and now neither of our cats will eat it and Drac was starting to get symptomatic again from eating nothing but kibble. I started looking into alternatives and transitioned them to a raw diet this week. Which they both love so we'll be able to drop the kibble completely and get all grains out of their diet. I'm buying Primal for them right now, but also got a package of Instincts powder to mix up my own.

check out felines pride!

(raw food)

Cornish game hens for cats :) Thanks, that looks like a great alternative to Primal (which is full of vegetables and fruits, though no grains).

i basically feed my cat a combination of wellness wet (chicken or turkey) and feline's pride mixed in

wellness is the best alternative to strictly raw

and please if any of you are thinking "it's just a cat lol just feed it dry food" i don't want to hear it

i dont buy it so i dont know what its called, but i think its prescription food, he gets 1/2 wet and 1/2 dry.

that was xpost to what what do u feed obv.

will say, he was seriously having a hard time. i'd find him on the bed zonked out, he wasnt too responsive. he'd just rest his little chin on my hand and close his eyes. didnt even resist getting into the carrier.

our kitty has renal failure and gets special food FROM FRANCE.

I mean I think Michael White would eat this stuff.

It is made of goose livers t/f?

more like stinky cheese iirc

poor drac :(

I mean I think Michael White would eat this stuff.

I always laugh when I think of the stuff my cats have eaten; quail, partridge, lobster, crab, various nibbles of charcuterie, stolen bites of macaron. One of our cats has a penchant for viennoiserie and will fight you for your croissant.

To return to cutty's remark, though, the old one needs wet food for the water content (he's 20 and undergoing the usual renal degradation and drinks all the time) but he's still awfully picky so I switch up the wet food all the time. Luckily there are lots of pet food stores in close radius around my house that have lots of wholistic cat food made by free-range hippies or whatever and he likes most of their food for a week or two before it get's switched out.

Drac's brother Morrie adores triple cream blue cheese, especially St. Agur. He also stole some truffled foie canard pate once - delicately licked each little bit of truffle clean though and left them on the floor.

In French, wet cat food is called paté pour chat (paté for cats) and once the cat gets into the paté, regardless of what it's made of or who it was for, it becomes paté pour chat.
