Diabetic cat

There’s a group on Facebook called “Feline Diabetes Support Group” that guides cat owners through this difficult journey. Many cats go on to have high qualities of life. Good luck!!

Should c/twoXchromosomes be shut down for having a transphobic name? Please comment

I accept trans women as women socially.

But to say womanhood is a just social construct is unbelievably wrong. I mean, I wish it was just a social construct because then I wouldn’t be struggling so much more than a biological man to do a pull up.

There are many biological differences between the genders that are not social constructs— baseline strength, body fat distribution, monthly uncontrollable bleeding etc.

It’s not meant to be disrespectful or discriminatory to trans women, it’s just how things are.

What cat food / brand do you use?

“Most cats fed commercial wet diets will still drink some water, but cats fed dry food will drink more as a result of the lower water content in the diet (Villaverde Haro, 2020). However, cats on a dry diet will drink less than the moisture consumed if on a wholly wet diet with a similar nutrient composition (Xu et al, 2014; Villaverde Haro, 2020).” Source: https://www.theveterinarynurse.com/review/article/moisture-matters-a-focus-on-feline-hydration

We have a water fountain going too and they hardly drink any water from there. But why leave it to chance?

Dry is really hard on cats’ kidneys because they drink so little water. Wet is a lot better but why not just feed raw? Our two cats are absolutely thriving on raw, a mix of balanced mince and whole prey, which they have been on since they were kittens. Their coats are shiny, their breath doesn’t smell and even their poop smells a lot less bad than the poop of my friends’ cats on who are on commercial dry/wet food.

A lot of info on raw feeding can be found in the Pet Fooled documentary available for free on YouTube. Happy to answer any questions about raw feeding too, good luck!!

Ahh we do like Yonder too! We met Louis Parkinson there and asked for a selfie 😂 he’s such a nice guy.

Have to warn people about the slide though, it’s a lot steeper than expected and the air in there is filled with the smell of burnt rubber from shoes 😢
