Ok. Well, let's give it a try then. I'd be delighted to see it work, for sure. No more plastic tubs! Thanks so much for the insight.

This is very interesting, and falls into the category of 'no harm trying' so I will discard the little plastic portion tubs and weigh out directly from the bag. All I would say, and this is a real head scratcher for me, is why would his poops seem to solidify and show improvement in the...

Ok, thanks. Maybe I'll experiment with going direct from bag to bowl and cut out the tubs for a bit. Certainly worth a try. And I intend to try the Boulardi pro biotic too. Good info, thanks.

We are going to stick with the hypoallergenic (hydrolysed) for another week or 2. The dry food has been decanted from the bag into individual portions in small plastic tubs which are washed up after every use, but that is an interesting point! Could the tubs really be an issue? His actual...

Hydrolysed. Do you think it's worth switching to a single protein hypoallergenic? I was thinking about Kattovit and/or Wainwrights dry, maybe?

He's on the hypoallergenic dry Royal Canin. I'll check the ingredient list.

Well, yes, at a certain point after medical checks allergies became prime suspect for us too. But he's now on a hypoallergenic food (supposedly) and nothing else (even his treat drawer had been welded shut), and still no joy...:argh:

Really hoping I can benefit from someone's experience on here, as I'm pretty much at my wits end. Ziggy (18 months old - Russian Blue), started having regular soft stools and occasional vomiting (about once every 2 weeks approx) about 3 months ago. At the time it began he was on a grain free...

Hiya, As the prospect of Spring slowly approaches I need some ideas for what to do about windows and an ultra curious kitten. I live in an apartment on the 1st floor so kitty escaping is a possibility I don't wish to imagine, but I would ideally not live in an airless sweaty box for 6 months...

Thanks to everyone for their replies and suggestions. I haven't had a chance to reply today because, well, you know why... ;) Anyway, today I have done something radical and put ALL his toys away and will play with him on the cat trees and chase games etc for the four hour session I likely...

Yes, the clicker is something else I had good intentions to work on. Something else to focus on.

I have thought about this. I'm gonna try and harness train him indoors and maybe think about 'walkies' at some point.

He's very affectionate actually. Seeks out laps and cuddles when he's not seeking out trouble. I guess the thing is he's always 'seeking' something. It's basically a relief when he wears himself out and drifts off to sleep. I know that won't always be the case and I'll probably miss the...

I mean, you can't stay mad at him for long...

It's so great to hear from you all. Yes, I know there may be some way to go (sigh!). I probably need to rotate the toys a little better. I have the best intentions in that regard but eventually they all end up out and I have nowhere to turn. The closest I got to an independent play toy was...
