Cat Chat Feline Forum

I am looking to buy a mincer to give my cats and kittens a raw food diet. Does anybody use one and can somebody advise what to get? I have seen loads but they generally won't be suitable for mincing chicken bones.

Giardia as well as Ecoli and various other bacteria are present in the gut of cats as well as ours. The low levels are counteracted by the good bacteria. It's only when the bad bacteria grow that you will have a problem. Antibiotics can cause the imbalance and it's best to give a probiotic at the sa...

I hadn't thought of the R C sensitivity pouches. Will order some. Just waiting to see if the childrens' kaolin works. My vet said to put them on the antibiotics in case there is an infection going on but I have heard that it can make the diarrhoea worse. I will need to finish the course which is a b...

I give them top quality food (Grau) but doesn't make any difference. I used to give them Natures Menu. They ...

What's wrong with getting a cat from a rescue centre?

I would take him to a rescue centre where he will be rehomed to somebody who will (hopefully) give him a better life. Otherwise you could let him stay in your garage, putting a cat flap in and feed him as he isn't getting looked after by his owner. It is so annoying that people take on pets and don'...
