Category: Nutrition for Pets

I plucked this out of this pet food review; I think it’s interesting to be discussed, whether we are talking about pet food for our pets or even food for us humans. Some people think that humans don’t fully understand how whole foods nourish the body. It’s impossible to break down food into macronutrients and…

I haven’t written about the Blondies’ eating stories for the past few days as I didn’t want to sound like a broken tape-recorder! But I also gave in to them as I was too engrossed with Juno’s illness. So yes, they had their urban food (kibble!!) alright. Happy Blondies! For the past few days, I…

Haha….it was sheer luck; for the first time in her life, Akira ate Coco&Joe’s this evening! Initially, she refused to eat her usual Cubgrub, even when offered at her special preferred place near the sandpit. Just walked away. Okay, fine. I thought it was going to be a kibble meal for her. The rest ate…

More eating news! I hit the jackpot with the correct raw food for dinner yesterday. Had to follow Indra all over until she settled down here to eat her bowl of Coco&Joe’s, inside the room. But I didn’t quite get this right, because she didn’t finish it. Instead, I tried cut-up raw meat after two…

Today was an unexpected magical morning for the Blondies again – they all ate raw food! Yesterday, we had a setback and I thought we would descend into a few days of kibble before they would be willing to eat raw, but no, they all ate raw this morning. So, there is no pattern. It’s…

I was running back and forth replenishing everyone’s bowl so that they eat the raw food to their heart’s and stomach’s content!! It is a good, good evening!! Did not expect them to eat a raw meal again since the morning was a great run, but they did! It is all about getting the “right”…

It was an unexpected good meal this morning! ALL of them ate raw food!! Unbelievable! Haha… Akira is currently the hardest to get to eat raw food. I had to follow her until the sandpit (toilet) before she would eat. It is a known fact that cats will not eat where they defecate, so go…

For the first time ever, eating was a problem at Ginger’s Catio this morning. I don’t know what happened, but nobody seemed to want to eat. Nobody, except Smurfy! If you remember, Smurfy had not been eating well for the past few days and insisted on his private dining space on the platforms. Well today,…

It’s been five days and counting! That’s five days of the Blondies being willing to eat a raw meal on their own. Today was 75% and I’m grateful. But to be fair, I had help from Cubgrub’s toppers – the dehydrated shishamo and dehydrated chicken treats. Ordinarily, two consecutive days of raw meals is the…

The Blondies are really high maintenance cats. Well, actually, that’s totally my fault because I want them to eat raw. If they could have their way, they would be delighted with any kibble. To make them eat raw, I resorted to all kinds of toppers. The anchovy (ikan bilis) powder only worked on Kai and…

This is record-breaking! Three raw meals in a row!! Twice yesterday and once today! This morning, I still added the shishamo treats to their raw meals. The unexpected thing was that they ate up the raw food and left the shishamo treats!! So I think perhaps the shishamo aroma enticed them eat, but they ate…

We received this question from our FB page and I thought I’d post my suggestions here for the benefit of everyone and also, perhaps other more qualified caregivers can offer more suggestions too. The question: Please advise – How much pre gram you’re feeding raw diet to each cat per day. I find it is…

I have not given up trying to get the Blondies to eat more raw meals. Today, it’s Cubgrub’s Shishamo toppers for them, and everyone too. Photo credit: cubgrub.my I cut up all the fishes and will be storing this in the freezer (as per its instructions). The Monsters absolutely loved it! As you can see,…

Well, it is nothing new. After 2-3 days of boycotting raw meals, the Blondies will relent and eat raw meals again. That’s their eating pattern. It’s been raining all day today. For dinner today, it’s a 75% score! Samantha ate three bowls of raw food consisting of Coco&Joe’s and Cubgrub – polished! Indra and Kai…
