Last week I fed Toby as normal, but she was still hungry. So I gave her more food until her belly bulged. Dumb move. The next morning at 6:30 I was awoken by a big, wet splat. She had vomited on the toilet seat cover, down the front, and all over the bathroom floor. She [...]
For years I donated a monthly amount to help protect North American wolves, which have been threatened with extinction. I’ve answered every call to contact my government to ask them to protect the wolves. Everytime I think we’ve succeeded in protecting them, my government finds an opportunity to kill them. Now, according to Defenders of [...]
I’ve been feeding my cats ground, raw meat and bones since 1992, and I recently decided to switch them over to whole prey to improve their teeth. Over the years they have enjoyed occasional whole chicken necks, but I didn’t really have a reliable, affordable supply for whole prey. I do now. Tonight I cut [...]
It makes me so frustrated when people force-feed their sick dogs and cats on the mistaken–and deadly–notion that the animal needs energy! There’s no better way to increase the likelihood of your pet dying than to force it to eat food it can’t digest. Animals are more instinctual than humans and have not been brainwashed [...]
Dr. John Tilden, in his book Toxemia Explained: The True Interpretation of the Cause of Disease (read the book here), states that disease is caused by toxemia plus enervation. He writes: DEFINITION of Toxemia and crises of Toxemia:—In the process of tissue building—metabolism—there is cell building—anabolism—and cell destruction—catabolism. The broken down tissue is toxic and in [...]
Continued from Part I. Tom and Mike needed to fit ten cat carriers, a litter box, three boxes of litter, four cases of canned cat food, two suitcases, one valise, two pillows, a bathrobe, two bags, two boxes, a gun case, a few odds and ends and three people in an SUV. They did it somehow. [...]
How to move ten cats from Oregon to Pennsylvania? My original intent was to drive the cats in my Mazda Speed 6 and tent camp along the way. I wrote about the problems with the trial run in the tent in an earlier post. When I realized camping wouldn’t work, I tried to buy a [...]
I’ll be down to ten cats when I leave, because I found someone to take Boy. I feed the cats in the evening now to get them all in, but Boy began howling at the window after dinner so I started letting him out. He prefers being outside and hunting. Boy is a wild little [...]
Since we’ll be traveling cross-country and the food supply in Pennsylvania is uncertain, I’ve been switching my cats to Wellness canned food. I added one can to three pounds raw. Then went to two cans and two pounds raw, and so on. Everyone loved it but Sophie and Arthur. When Sophie first stuck her nose [...]
I pitched my new 8-man tent in the backyard and thought I’d get the cats used to sleeping in it. I put in two clean litter boxes, a bowl of water, a couple cat beds, a scratching pad, a big blanket for the cats and my sleeping bag and pillow. I thought it best to [...]
