He's gone. I misled you with the yowling. That's one of the things we'll remember and be able to laugh about. He yowled as a way of life. He was 20 pounds when he was trim, as large as many small dogs. He yowled in the night, and the family didn't hear it, much as families who live near train...

Thank you.  I added another paragraph as  an edit to say it looks like he is dying. He is at the vet. I guess I should have done a new post.  I appreciate your concern. I will add the outcome. He's such a character. He's had a loving home and family. 

I am hoping someone can reply soon--my daughter is driving home from a weekend away and got a call--their 14 year old cat, who has been doing well on chemo for either cancer or IBS (same drug, so no tests) for two years, and doing really well, suddenly began yowling, and lay down and pooped...

Oh, no! I just ordered 3 cases from somewhere. I knew not everywhere had it. I'll have to stock up as best I can. Let me know what works for you! Have you called their customer service? Tessa won't go in the same room with raw food. Literally.

It has been several months since my last post. Tessa Redberry is doing very well on By Nature Organics --she prefers Turkey and Turkey Liver or Chicken and Chicken Liver. She still prefers the carbs, and I have been tolerant, so I top it with 1/2 of a 3 oz. can of Nutro Natural Choice Sliced...

What brand of freeze-dried do you use?  Where do you get it? I am trying to get my cat settled, too. She's liked some foods since I've switched her to canned food, but has also had diarrhea or constipation. Recently she quit eating and I was about to start syringing water before we had a...

Sadly, when  I went back to get more Soulistic, they didn't have any more of the chicken and said they'd been out for months--apparently I had bought the last can. So I bought the last can of chicken and pumpkin, but Tessa threw up after I mixed a bit of that with her Pure Vita. The By Nature...

Thanks, all!  At Petco, I bought a few cans of carrageenan free this and that, to fill in until my By Nature (yes, organics ;) gets here--found one of the Sheba Cuts, which she (milady's full name is Tessa Redberry) ate a bit of, but found a new to me one called Soulistic Good Karma Chicken...

Thanks, Otto. I am new to the site. I checked out your other posts, and saw you like to use By Nature, so I've ordered 2 cases!  As long as there is no carrageenan, Tess digests most other canned food ok (except the batch from Friskies Plus, after she'd been eating it for months just fine), but...

I don't see it mentioned here, but my cat will throw up within a few minutes of eating any food with carageenan. I have spent many, many hours researching foods for her, and trying to get her to eat them --she is suspicious of anything strange, and wouldn't even go in the same room with raw...
