Want to start taking videos of my cat for social media and youtube, I'm sure my phone can do the job just fine or any other cheaper small cam but I mainly wanted a small cam I can mount in off angles without being too much in my cat's face.

I was going to go for the action 5 pro or something cheaper but I learned the 6 has the ability to shoot and crop later which I think would be useful for youtube + instagram/tiktok videos.

Any thoughts from a more casual, less "action" type of user?

Wondering if this is a normal occurrence or if it's exclusive to my provider? Feels like every week I'm messaging my provider asking for a new URL

I'm picking up my first kitten next week and I have done a ton of research and come to the conclusion that from a cost/benefit perspective, I'll be feeding her prepackaged raw food. We have a ton of farms here and quite a few local brands that seem well established, I think it's a no brainer especially over kibble.

That being said, she's currently on a wet food/kibble diet solely eating Royal Canin kitten food and the shelter recommends we maintain this diet for at least 1 month, I didn't understand why at first but someone on here said it's mostly due to not stressing her out too much as she changes environment at least her food will be the same which makes complete sense.

I'm looking at the prices of some of these big brands and I cannot for the life of me understand why they're so expensive for such few calories? You're getting somewhere like 800 calories per kg of RC wet food vs 1500-1800 calories per kg of raw food... So essentially I'm expected to feed 3-4 cans of RC wet food per day which is about $3.5 CAD per can lol

so over $12 per day for a small cat meanwhile I don't even spend $10 of food on myself per day. Am I missing something here?

Just wondering what most people use because most of the wood pellets near me just say "Wood Pellets" and a lot of them use Oak, Maple and Birch or a variation of those 3.

Or does it not matter at all?

So I'm picking up my little girl from the rescue next week and she'll be about 12 weeks old, it's my first ever pet and I'm super excited. Been doing a ton of research and decided from a cost/benefit perspective that pre-packaged raw would be the way to go.

The thing is the rescue who is taking care of her at the moment has been feeding her Royal Canin kitten food, I believe a hybrid of wet and dry and they're insisting that she keep eating this brand for at least 1 month after I bring her home. Now I'm not sure what they're basing this on or whether I should follow that suggestion, I haven't decided yet but in any case, how does it work when feeding a kitten a raw diet.

I know the reason companies label wet and dry food packaging specifically for kittens is because kittens require a specific amount of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium but I don't see the same type of labelling in prepackaged raw food. Would I need to add additional supplements or do I just increase the amount based on her caloric requirements?
