My senior cat has had a hard year due to alleged IBD. Months of learning what is good for her and what is bad. Over $1000 in vet fees alone. Chronic diarrhea and a big weight loss. Right now she is on simple proteins, mostly chicken and chicken broth pouches (Nulo’s). She is on a cat probiotic that I mix into her food in the morning, slippery elm to help with diarrhea, and the ion gut tonic to cut down on vomiting. I replaced the trash crack treats with freeze dried single ingredient treats, she loves freeze dried chicken hearts, chicken breast and salmon treats. I gently cook chicken and Turkey to supplement her pouch chicken. She likes freeze dried raw biscuits in her food, but I removed it because I think it aggravates her diarrhea. I have learned so much this year about feline nutrition. I also decided not to give her the medicine the vet recommended, because I have discerned what she likes and what heals her ailments. The next step is to do full time homemade food with a nutrition premix, then try to transition to raw. ❤
Wow! I'm happy to hear about the progress you've made. I know how frustrating it is, but I'm glad you are searching for feline nutrition for yourself! I also have a page dedicated to ibd: www.caticles.com/ibd/ with vet resources on the subject. If you need to share with her vet 😻
In southern California, I can leave the doors open most days. Panda and Colbie love to watch the birds, stray cats and people. Whenever Ramish, the black lab next door barks, they go running to see what he is barking at! LOL
An important video from The Voice! The pro kibble crowd says it is the owners fault that cats are fat. Dry kibble encourages leaving the food out all the time, which leads to obesity. The NIH did a study of 100 cats for kidney disease. When they x-rayed the cats, they found that 90 of them had clinical arthritis. Fresh beef provides over 100% of a cat's daily value for zinc, one of the key minerals the body needs to manufacture collagen. Collagen is for joint health and helps prevent arthritis. Happy Sardine Sunday!
@jesscaticles my little sister has a 17lb cat. She says he just got a positive dr appt but idk. It is sus. I know my kitty will be a big kitty but he walks approx 250 meters a day, every day and I am trying 2 edu my wife to get him on a raw diet. She is kinda coming around with freeze dried meat or wet food on hot days. Your videos have helped. Here in Japan they are not so "meatcentric" by that I mean they eat very small portions of meat if at all. Plus it tends to be very high quality. I just want the best 4 my partner... (yes I call my kitty my partner) No, that word did not go over well at first lol jk
Hello Jess & Jericho! 🐾❤️🐾 This is such a great and informative video. I just did those two tests on both of my cats with feeling for muscle and bone, and looking at them from above them and the side. 😺❤️😺 🐾 LOOKING FABULOUS! 🐾 I am so so happy to have both of my cats eating raw. I do have a lot of fun with playing with both. ❤️ I’m going to do the playtime before their morning meals! It might be better to get that Funtime in before mealtime! ❤ You’re wonderful Jess & Jericho! We are so grateful for you! 🐾❤️🐾
I referenced you on something called "our pets health." Vegan is the only way channel. I also mentioned Sam of Dog Nutrition Channel. He is doing in England what you are doing here.
Hi Jess! I want to give my (indoor only) cat bones. She already eats Steve's Raw Quest for cats, but I live in a second floor apartment with wall to wall CARPET. Ewwwww! Just thinking about raw bone and flesh pieces in my carpet makes me go, Ewwww! I wish there was something I could do so she could have bones, we'll just have to stick with the raw food and playtimes for now I guess. Thanks for your great info. 😻
My old boy is a bit thin. Very picky eater!! The other would be fat if I didn’t monitor her food and if I fed raw. Any suggestions to get my old boy to eat his raw? We do mix with canned wet and sprinkle with other stuff too, but it doesn’t always work. We do wanna get his teeth cleaned again but he didn’t do super great with the last cleaning so I’m hesitant.
What about salmonella on the chicken. Im sure the cat is fine as they can eat raw outside but will salmonella populate their mouth and then expose us when they lick us or have close contact?
ive had 4 cats in my life with two of them being alive right now. Ill be honest I think if your pet gets fat its a matter of some kind of mental retardation in the owner that often cannot be solved because after 3 decades on this planet I seriously know how obtuse and stubborn some people can be in that they will never listen to reason and think that you are insulting their feelings by telling them the truth. With my two most recent cats I have given them nothing but the highest quality cat food as well as making food on my own. I just seriously think if you cant ensure the health of your pet then you should not be a pet owner and my no stretch of the imagination am i a wealthy person as I have had several bad things happen to me in my life that have harmed my health involving the medical system and the government, there are no excuses for being shithead in any realm of life given that the internet exists and you can literally look up how to do things and research things basically for free while having the ability to have stuff delivered to you reasonably quickly in order to equip yourself with the tools you need. This isnt like traveling to Tibet without an airplane and hiking up the mountains. Cat eat bird, cat eat mouse, cat eat fish, maybe i should give cat those things instead of peanut butter or meat cereal.
Love the way you explain it very simply: Cat eat bird, cat eat mouse, cat eat fish, maybe i should give cat those things instead of peanut butter or meat cereal. I've always said kibble is essentially meat-flavored granola. Many people are stubborn but some just don't know that kibble is bad for cats. The vets and institutions push it so they follow. It's become a tradition really. But I'm glad to be here to spread the truth to those who want it!

It makes me so sad every time I see these cats on social media… it’s not cute or funny. 😔
Same!!

LOL Jericho runs towards the sound of motorcycles and sirens from outside. He runs to the window like WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE?!?!
@@jesscaticles Curiosity and cats and all that! LOL

Yes!!! I'm glad more studies are coming out specifically for cats. I hope more people can make the connection to diet and health (:
You know, now that “The Voice” was mentioned - YES! Jess - your voice is fabulous! 🐾❤️🐾
@@Cyber_Kati_6744 Isn't she great?! I asked Jess if it was OK to say that. Nothing but respect for Jess.
@@edschulhof6303 Very respectful and I love her voice too! You are awesome! Nice to meet you! 🐾❤️🐾
Being chonk is straight abusive.
Yes!

Nice video. 2 weeks ago I switched my cat to a raw diet and he is doing well. Fur shines , got rid of acne! Active and playful.)

Awww thank you so much for your ongoing support!!! I appreciate you being here and always sharing your testimonies ♥️

My cat is grey dull and lackluster but she does have about a 22 word vocabulary
lol Jericho is quite talkative as well!
The fastest way to get rid of urinary issues is to stop drinking four beers before making the beer run
My ex use to give beer to my cat. He renamed the cat Boozer. He was an idiot

You can lay down some layers of newspaper or get those nice plastic mats.

Thanks for watching and commenting!
My cat isn't fat.... He's big boned
lol

Nope, salmonella risk in chicken is low anyways
TY@@Sidralovescrows
The acidity in their mouth and stomach is too high for things like salmonella to survive. It’s perfectly safe for healthy humans and cats.
TY for this info. @@gemmajanning4567
Typically any type of transmission comes from mishandling food and feces. Not from cats licking us.
Not everybody has a cat that has a stunning coat beautiful colors as you do
It all stems from diet!
