    videos FOR cats, not ABOUT cats

    Yes, there are some good ones there. Lots of birds, but rodents as well. But my cat gets excited just seeing other cats, and there aren't a lot of those in these that I can find. .

    videos FOR cats, not ABOUT cats

    Thank you. The "Relax My Cat. A YouTube video I found was . That's mostly close ups of birds, which is interesting. (There is a lot of RelaxMy Cat music out there, which is pretty much nonsense!) This video serves my need, sort of. Actually, I'm not trying to "relax my cat". I'm trying to...

    videos FOR cats, not ABOUT cats

    Those are interesting, but he's waving the camera around like it's on a string. That's not how cats see the world, waving around in front of them. Is there something, um, "artistic" about a hand-held (and somewhat sloppily pointed) video camera?

    videos FOR cats, not ABOUT cats

    My indoor cat seems to pay some attention to my wide-screen TV (which, in my experience, is unusual for cats), and is VERY interested in other cats that he sees looking out the window. So I'd like to find some online (YouTube?) video that might be entertaining for such a cat. Now, cat videos are...

    Cat Stopped Loving Wet Food

    Thank you. Yes, that's what I'm going to try, more or less.

    Cat Stopped Loving Wet Food

    OK, my supermarket has 9-Lives as well as Friskies, and I understand that those are produced by entirely different manufacturers. Worth a try. Maybe next week. I think I'll just press "reset" by keeping him on solid food for a week. Gave him a half-day dose of solid food this evening, in place...

    Cat Stopped Loving Wet Food

    I buy the cans individually, off the shelf. Sure, a single can can be defective, but as I said, this happened for TWO cans with different flavors. Our other cat (who doesn't like wet food much, but will eat some) ate just as much out of these cans as she usually does. So I have to believe this...

    Cat Stopped Loving Wet Food

    So, Kflowers, you're suggesting that if I try another brand of wet food, I try another brand that comes from a different manufacturer? I guess that makes sense.

    Cat Stopped Loving Wet Food

    Yes, I can understand changes in appetite. But dramatic changes in appetite in 24 hours is surprising to me. From gobble-gobble for years to ptueeee in one day.

    Cat Stopped Loving Wet Food

    Thank you, Kflowers. I'll look around. I was responding to the other poster. What I'd like to accomplish is making sure my cats get enough water, and wet food is a good way to do that. It's 80% water. Their poop is hard and they strain if they don't get enough liquid. Nutrition-wise, no big...

    Cat Stopped Loving Wet Food

    As I said, it's just Friskies. But I'm not here to hear preaching about wet food. I've raised many cats on just dry food, and they've lived long, very healthy lives. This is a behavior question.

    Cat Stopped Loving Wet Food

    This guy really liked shreds. Did not like pate. Could try a different brand, but those are essentially just different flavors. We have two cats. This one used to adore wet food, and now turns up his nose at it. Now he'll eat maybe half of it, eventually, but he used to wolf down the whole...

    Cat Stopped Loving Wet Food

    Thank you. He stopped eating his wet food one evening, and repeated that with different flavors on subsequent nights. So I don't think it's the flavor. Interesting about changed ingredients. I doubt it, and they'd have had to do it on many of ther flavors simultaneously, but if they don't have...

    Cat Stopped Loving Wet Food

    3 year old, fixed male. Very healthy. Huge appetite. We feed dry food (Purina One) in the morning, and a can of Friskies in the evening. He LOVES it all, and always wants more, but we measure his servings, and his weight is stable at 11#. Very suddenly, he has STOPPED eating his canned food...

    Cat Incisors Missing

    I suppose he could have been in a fight. But how do you lose incisors in a fight??
