Hey there! So January 2017 we heard a cat making awful noises outside (sounded like a baby crying!!!) and went outside to investigate. It was one of our colder nights here in Canada with the temp hitting around -30C (-22 F) so I was very surprised to find a naked kitty under our snow covered...

Hi! I've been reading through so much of this site daily to feel more informed & prepared for my 1st cat. I picked her out this month and I'm getting her in December. The breeder uses ExquisiCat Pine Litter, and feeds Wellness Complete Health Kitten wet food. I'm wondering if these are all...
