Wet cat food bowl used for 5 meals without washing it

Sometimes I don’t clean my cat’s wet food bowl even after several servings and sittings

PoC avatarPosted on September 29, 2022 by Michael BroadSeptember 29, 2022

I expect that you, like me, normally clean your cat’s food bowl after one serving. What I mean is you take a fresh bowl, put the wet food in, your cat eats it, you remove any waste that is uneaten … continue reading…

This cat is perfectly healthy but he was 'not eating' because he was continually visiting his neighbour to eat everything he needed

Cat licking their lips after eating

Why do cats groom themselves after eating wet canned food?

PoC avatarPosted on January 27, 2022 by Michael BroadJanuary 27, 2022

How often should domestic cats be fed?

PoC avatarPosted on August 9, 2021 by Michael BroadJanuary 14, 2023

This is a difficult and perhaps pointless question to answer. I know that sounds negative but I think it’s a fair point to make. The basic problem is that we can’t use the feeding arrangements of the wildcat ancestor of … continue reading…
