    Frustrated I Can't Give My Cat His Best (outdoor) Life

    We have a catio (a chicken coop we purchased on Amazon) connected to a cat door in our window. We created a short ramp that is enclosed in chicken wire so they have no means of escape. It has several levels and I sewed up a couple of "hammocks" from some sunbrella fabric. It was well worth the...

    Pet Ultimate Probiotics, Has Anyone Tried? Reviews?

    Hi, I know your post is a bit old but I was just searching for this product and came upon it. My kitten (pictured) had horrible GI issues that plagued him from the day he came home. Recently we took in another kitty (3 years old, mostly lived outdoors). He too had very bad GI issues. Lots of...

    Moving With An Outdoor Cat

    You can do this! I moved my 6 year old street cat across the country. He was confused, but he quickly adjusted and did fine. I did take the opportunity to transition him to an indoor cat. No matter how much he seems to love the outdoors there, he needs you more!

    Slow/puzzle Feeders

    I have used Catit 2.0 and highly recommend. The bowl type feeder not so much. The No Bowl feeders (felt wrapped plastic mice) are terrific! Even my 17 y/o kitty loved these and I knew they wouldn’t be gobbling their food till they barfed.

    Needs Advice About Misc. Issues Inc. Litter, Meds, Etc

    I second the suggestion of Miralax (1/8 tsp 2x day or whatever your vet suggests). My Megacolon boy was on Lactulouse which was awful to administer sticky mess. And it's expensive. You can get a tanker of brand-x Miralax and just sprinkle a measured amount on top of his wet food.

    12 Week Old Kitten Has Recurring Vomiting Diarrhea

    More good suggestions, thanks! I don’t know if anyone else might find it useful but I us an iOS app, Symple, to track my own health issues. I had been jotting notes about Cozy’s condition in a note app then I realized I have something much better. You can create symptoms, tag what was going on...

    12 Week Old Kitten Has Recurring Vomiting Diarrhea

    Hi daftcat, The vomit was white foam the first time (the AM after his adoption). Since then I have seen food maybe three times. Since someone is with him all day (cat daddy works at home) we can keep him off the dry. I don't like feeding dry anyway I just did it on the recommendation from the...

    12 Week Old Kitten Has Recurring Vomiting Diarrhea

    If this title looks familiar it's because my last post was "11 Week Old Kitten has..." Today was Cozy's check-up for an immunization. But this morning he vomited and refused food then went to the litter box and passed some very foul smelling loose stool. He had been doing much better (eating...

    Kitten Ascities

    Oh, I am so sorry you are going through this. I have no experience with this but just want to let you know I am hoping for the best possible outcome. Did either vet say what was causing it? As I understand this is a symptom of another problem. Regarding the food, since she's got digestive...
