An update on our cat shenanigans: Allergies, immune systems, and diets

Back in April we started a 30-day non-vegan food trial with our kitties, to eliminate their vegan diet as a reason for their allergies. That 30-day trial became a switch, and we're now sharing our house with three tiny carnivores (and an omnivorous human!). I want to give an honest account of what we've learned, so here goes...

We've seen some progress with Sid's allergy; it has really improved. Her issue is an ove… Continue

Story on a non-vegan cat food causing thiamine deficiency

Anyone want to help run this site?

Our kitties are, unfortunately, still on a meat diet. We wanted to get them onto veggie food again but Snow and Zora's gingivitis continues to be a major issue, and while we work through that we don't want to be bugging them with diet changes.

While we're working on this, it's occurred to me that we should have some other admins on this site! I'd love to have someone with actively vegan cats at home as an admin,… Continue
