Hi, I have this cat tree! Frisco 72-Inch Cat Tree, Brown I have four cats, two of them are 12lbs each and two of them are still kittens (6mos old) and it's a very sturdy tree. I wish it had four perches, but other then that, it holds up to everyone's playing and sleeping, for a year now...

Yes, they all have been to the vet, they don't have diarrhea anymore, it took like a little more then a week for everyone to adjust to new sheba pate food, but their poop is still stinky, huge and barely formed and they still don't play as much, but kittens are going to have last boosters of...

anytime i rotate their diet, they get diarrhea, and two of my cats are 3 month old kittens who already had diarrhea because they were eating different food before I got them their poop isn't just stinky, though, it's huge and barely formed, like if it had any more moisture, it wouldn't stay...

My cats poop is super stinky, and everything I have read about gums in cat food says nutrition is harder for their bodies to absorb when eating gums.  That's why I am hoping they will eat tiki cat, it has no gums or bad carbs so i hope they remain healthier for longer and their poop will stop...

the carnivore added olive oil, which would def raise fat levels.  after dark doesn't add any oils.  i can add fish oil, but if cats dont eat fish in the wild, why would they need fish oil?  is there another kind of fat i can add to make this a better food?

Wait, what carbs?  aren't carbs from grains, fruits, veggies, tubers, and sugars?  I didn't see any of these on the ingredient list of tiki cat after dark chicken and liver.

Um, why is fat cheap?  Doesn't it come from the same source as protein?  Why would I have to pay more for the muscle of an animal then I do the fat of the same animal?  Is it because of how it needs to be processed in order to be sold?  Does it take more resources to process muscle then fat?  I...

I get that sheba pate uses cheaper resources. I want to know why there are more calories in the same weight can of sheba pate then there are of tiki cat chicken after dark. what foods are causing the increase of cals per can of sheba pate?

at 20 bucks a case, with my 4 cats, that would be 600 bucks a month to feed them all 3 cans a day (170ish cals), and even then they would likely need another 2 cans between then all to get 200cals a day each why is pate cat food so much more calorie dense?  i feed sheba pate right now to all...

2 oz each a day, with water added.

My cats weigh 11lbs each, any more then that and they would be fat. They play in the morning after they eat for about an hour and at night after they eat for about an hour. At 178kcals per 1.5oz, would giving them each more then the daily 2 oz recommended cause them to gain weight, I wonder?

Anyone tried this cat food from The Real Meat Company? http://www.realmeatpet.com/food.htm Air Dried Chicken Cat Food Ingredients: Chicken, Chicken Liver, Chicken Heart, Chicken Gizzards, Chicken Neck, Parsley, Pumpkin, Rosemary, Inulin (from Chicory), Vegetable Glycerin, Taurine, Choline...

do i need to get them to drink plain water is my question? is the wet food i feed them (fancy feast classic chicken pate) not enough? there is no possibility they are getting water from anywhere else im housebound nearly 24/7 and the bathroom doors stay closed when we are not using them...

i have tried to add in water, they refuse to eat when i do, however i was hoping someone would know if it is going to affect them in the long run

Yes, I know, you all are going to say "they do, just not when you are looking!" While they might, it has to be so little that you may as well say they dont. I change their water everyday and the water line is the exact same as when i changed it! This has been three years now.   They are...
