So far our Norma-Jean has been scooping up the Farmina canned venison and pumpkin cat food but a new problem has risen. After about 20 minutes she starts to moan for about 1/2 hour and I think her tummy hurts her. The rest of the day she is just fine with no problems so I wonder why this is...

Sadly, that article deals only with Farmina's dry cat food products. Thanks anyway. :-)

Back to square 1. So I decided to try the wet farmina venison and pumpkin after she decided she didn't really like the canned venison and coconut after all. She went right after it and I was elated. (too elated!) I never even stopped to look at the ingredients and was astonished to see the...

Thanks. It's a start. Poivre

Our sweet 16 yr old Norma-Jean is scratching away and starting to turn up her nose to Ziwi Peak limited ingredient venison canned cat food. I called the store and they highly recommended Farmina venison and coconut -- so I bought 4 little cans and added a small 1/2 tsp. to her regular venison in...

I cannot find very much on Farmina canned food as I am trying to find another decent venison cat food besides Ziwi Peak whose cans are often totally impossible to open, and the ones that occasionally do open are really very difficult to pull that ring. I am afraid of cutting myself. Any...

I'm a wee bit confused. I feed my "baby" the Instinct Limited Ingredient Rabbit canned food but there are no peas in it. (She is allergic to all the other meats except venison from Ziwipeak but you cannot open their cans without chancing getting bloody!!!) My only "pet" peeve is that Instinct is...

This was a very fine post and helped me with my decision. Our Norma-Jean is 16 and has a hyperthyroid condition which, after trying myriad approaches too complicated to go into, our decision was to let her live out her life without the drugs (which caused more problems) and realize that by...

My Norma-Jean adores licking my butter knife every morning which has maybe 1/8 tsp of butter left on it. Is it safe?

Yep. That's what I thought you might say. Maybe I will try going back to givng her that "awful" Hills stuff that is the worst looking stuff-just hard as a rock -- no softness.She doesn't like it and out of hunger ends up eting most of it at some point. Too sad.

An excellent thought except for the fact that she needs limited ingredient type canned foods and there are very few that she will eat. She hates duck, salmon, is allergic to chicken which she likes and turkey. So we are pretty much limited to rabbit which,depending on the lot # of the case she...

Our 15 yr old darling is turning up her nose at almost all wet food. Dare I try dry kibble which I have avoided all these years?Or could that start problems?

She takes Methimazole gel rubbed into her ear. She has another appointment coming up at the end of this month.

Good point and yes she already had the vet express some urine from her about a month ago with no negative results.

...and has started to pee on the newspapers that surround the litter box but still poops in the box. She is 15. Is this senility? I have tried 5 different litters with the same result so I went back to her original litter. No difference.
