Ask BYC

Have you ever had a question that couldn't be resolved through Google, then thought, "I bet a random sampling of people would know the answer." This is the place to ask that question.

There are some GROUND RULES. Please follow them.

• No poultry questions. Those are best asked in the main forums.
• No medical or political questions.
• No binary yes/no questions or "What's your favorite ____?", etc. For that, you want Question of the Day.
• No philosophical questions that could use their own thread.
• Finally, please keep the troll questions to a minimum.

Some GOOD example questions would be:

What color should I paint this room? Here's a photo with paint swatches.​

Does anyone know what this thing is that I found buried in the yard?​

Can someone recommend a good book on foraging mushrooms?​

Some BAD example questions would be:

How do I solve the 3-body problem?​

What's the meaning of life?​

Is this toenail fungus? Here's a disgusting photo that will ruin your day.​

Due to the risk of chit-chat, I suggest starting your question with an all-caps "QUESTION!" to get everyone's attention. My hope is this thread can be helpful and not just collect dust. Enjoy!

The answer to "What is the meaning of Life" is "42." IYKYK!

QUESTION: LOOKING FOR A RECIPE FOR A BALANCED HOMEMADE CAT FOOD.
I have a cat who requires wet food (urinary issues) and two others who insist on sharing.
Even the CHEAP commercial canned food has gotten outrageously expensive. Our vet had some recommendations, but admits that vet school doesn't cover much on the subject of homemade cat food - just general nutrition. So ... I'm looking for a recipe that includes the taurine and other essentials needed for three cats that are eating me out of house and home!
