Thank you for all that you do, Jess! I am so thankful that I found you don’t help with my boys make it start to have a healthy life at a early age courses and everything that you teach us help me become a better Kat parrot. With all the information that you give us it sells itself, I understand, needing to sell yourself. I do work in sales, but with everything that you teach us, the course sells itself, you sell it with the information that you provide us. I am truly thankful that I found your channel!
Hi Jess. I want to give you some encouragement by letting you know that you absolutely made a difference for my sweet Vega. I won't switch to whole prey because I can't handle the baby carcasses. At all. How do they raise them and how do they kill them? Shudder. Nope. Just can't. BUT, we switched to Tiki Cat Dark and went off kibble 100 %. She does like her crunchy bits so we use Whole Life Pet living trreats, salmon and chicken. She lost 3 lbs when I took her off of the high-carb stuff. It wasn't easy because she was addicted. But, now she's addicted to the good stuff. Thanks for your research and work. Never doubt that you help others. You do. ❤
Awww thank you for sharing Vega's progress! I'm so glad she's liking the good stuff now (: For whole prey, depends on where it comes from. Hare Today's rabbits and cavies come from local Amish farms. Their website provides info on how they are raised and diet. The other option is breeding facilities for more variety. They are euthanized with co2 per AVMA guidelines.
I have so much respect for pet owners like you. Not only are people like you creative beyond belief, but look into factors that majority of pet owners would never think about. I found your channel today and after two videos, I feel so unbelievably driven and excited about giving my cats a better life one step at a time. This channel has given me a lot more confidence in my capabilities as a pet owner so thank you❤
Hi Jess and Jericho! Sorry that you’re itchy right now, Jericho, but your mama will figure it out! Jess, don’t worry about being purrrfect. You have to take care of you too! Have a great Friday and weekend! ❤
Hi Jess! You probably already know this but it could be that Jericho has seasonal allergies or just allergies in general? If you are able, try getting a vacuum with a closed HEPA filtration system. It helps with the overall air quality! Both of my babies need allergy shots every month, and one has asthma, but with the allergy shots, not using scented fresheners, (Which I know you already don't do!) and the Closed HEPA vacuum it helps keep the cat's allergies and people allergies better managed. 😊
Hi Jess, it’s so hard to keep up with the dust and cat fur. I try to run a dry mop (reuseable equivalent of a Swiffer) daily. Maybe it’s the western exposer windows that allow me to see how awful they get even after a day. But just the quick run over help between vacuums and washes. My cats sleep in my bed all day, but boy do their nails wreck havoc on those sheets by causing runs…even on the 100% cotton ones. They are so pricey these days!!! May I recommend a cleaner for you? Hypochlorous acid. It’s used by a well know veterinarian company as a wound care and facial/ear/ dental care product, but I was buying the house cleaning product way before the cat rescue told me to get the wound care for ringworm lesions. The houseclean product is safe enough to use on skin and Jericho can walk on it! I bought mine through an office supply store, but noticed they don’t sell the refill capsules. Many people just buy a generator one time and make large batches. Thought I’d mention it as it fits in the theme of the topic of this video
Have you checked out Dr. Andrew Jones, the Canadian Holistic vet? Not that Jericho has fleas (he probably doesn’t), but I’ll Never use drops again. I’m using diatomaceous earth and natural oils.
Hope Jericho itching and rashes resolve that he feed better soon ……..I wish I could buy Comforters and the beautiful bed you bought for Jericho unfortunately my cat that is now 10 months started eating fabric including pieces off his toys and also taking the Sponge that I wash dishes . He was drowning up his food and water. It took awhile for the Symptoms to develop everything he ate form into a Foreign object hospitalized to see if the IV fluids rushes it down the colon to prevent surgery…. Thankfully it did came in his stool buried in there. So come to know my Jasper has PICA .
Huh, I’m surprised that raw meaty bones hasn’t helped with cleaning or the inflammation but if he can’t chew it then I guess that makes sense; I just got freeze dried duck necks yesterday and cut part of it for one of my boys and just that one made the plaque and tartar come off so well for just one feeding :O
Hey Jess Thank you for your videos. I am attempting to transition my cats to raw by first giving wet food. They wont eat it. I tried blended wet and chunky wet. Can i skip the wet food and go right to raw from dry? I think you had a recipe that i can use to start. Is that accurate? I live in Japan and we have a great butcher and a fisherman who comes once a week. What cuts can i ask them to save? I see the fisherman throw away the fish guts... idk if it could go to ollie and jr. Thank you so very much. If you ever come to this side of Japan i would love to suggest a few places 2 check out. Im sure you can use a vacation with all the hard work you do for us. 😊😊
Have you ever had an allergy test for him? We did bloodwork at the vet and my little one is allergic to chicken, actually all poultry. And a slew of other things. The test helped me help her allergies so much. And the vet also suggested an air purifier which has also helped a great deal ❤❤ for me too. I def notice a difference in the air quality of the home. 🏡 xo
Oh! I have an air purifier too. Seeing all the fur that thing collects oh my gosh! lol interesting about the allergy. Was that a test they did from the bloodwork or it was a separate test? I've also seen intolerance tests specifically for raw fed cats that I thought about. The thing is I've already tried an elimination diet and fed mouse only for 3 months. Didn't notice a change. But I think going to whole prey - all proteins he doesn't typically eat - would still help. I'm interested to know the test you did though! Thank you for sharing! By the way, since you mention it, I will add a poultry-free recipe to my course for you ♥️
Hallelujah! What a timely video by The Voice! Colbie and Panda scratch a lot as well. You got me! I do need to vacuum and clean more often. When I do vacuum, there is enough cat hair to make a third cat! LOL Shalom!
Hello, Jess and Jerico, first thanks for all the good advice I agree dry food shouldn't your only option. however, I had two calicos that I feed by hand with the help from my brother and sisters thank to Minerva giving us work because the mother cat left them in her apartment. those kittens was given away with only Tubbs and her sister we kept. they lived till 25 years later those two cats was feed exclusively dry food kit kaboodle to be exact ah what I didn't know then that wasn't good quality cat food. I digress we didn't have air condition so in the summer those cats and the dogs was given a summer bath, and they didn't complain without the two dogs king Charles spaniel the uncle to those six kittens. maybe a cat spa for Jerico a comb and brush and a shampoo might help his skin. Cleo passed away in January this year she was 18 years old I felt cheated when she passed away, I bath her too in the summer once a year. So, sugar and maple are Torti cats and I bath both cats and have my skin intact over twenty years of bathing cats and dogs these two cats their coats are shiny like your cat Jerico. if those two cats could talk human I was probably being cursed out in cat language, I gave the cats a wash and shampoo because one was itching a lot and was being on the safe side if it was fleas of something else. good luck with Jerico. we have mites on our body and it's microscopic to the naked eye could i also suggest the small bissell pet vacuum if food was left in the carpet fiber or a strong vacuum not to damage the wood in the cat condo. I'm ordering one of those cat ladders for sugar you suggested I one of your videos thanks
Thank you for sharing your insights! Yes, every cat is an individual so of course there are outliers when it comes to diet. But in general I still wouldn't recommend dry food long term. Anyway, I do have a vacuum that I use to clean his furniture now. I got so much dust out of it! Jericho does like the water so maybe I could try a bath. But I'm cleaning up the environment first lol thank you!
@@jesscaticles Good day, we are on the same page I do not feed Sugar Cleopatra 2 just dry food but wet and dry food, and cat food that has omega 3 and omega 6 and very low in carbs. it looks like ever human food has corn syrup sweetener in everything too I digress all the best! I'm placing an order for a cat ladder thanks for the advice

Hi Jess. I'm thinking about switching to a fully stainless litterbox. Planning to order many of them but I wanna hear your take on this.
Do you have any suggestions for cat over 20 years old? Special diet for senior cats?
I lined my cats beds with cotton sweaters that I would hand vac before washing every couple of weeks. The had vac was good for the Cat tree as well.
Yes! My new vacuum has a hand vac attachment. Super helpful and that's how I clean Jericho's furniture now.
Have you checked out Dr. Andrew Jones, the Canadian Holistic vet? Not that Jericho has fleas (he probably doesn’t), but I’ll Never use drops again. I’m using diatomaceous earth and natural oils.

Ah ok did you get any advice on enrichment? mental stimulation? diet changes? I think those might help if it isn't due to an underlying medical issue.

Unfortunately sometimes cats get allergic reaction to certain foods even though they ate it before and it never happened.
I'm thinking switching to whole prey which he hasn't had in a while and it's more variety and more natural proteins to his body it will help.

take him to a f****** vet........ they know much more than you do..
If you watch the whole presentation, Jess clearly states she IS taking Jericho to the vet ~
Bad enough that you are rude, but profane as well. Clearly an erudite speaker.
