Aw, look at that face... I love his little pink nose!

I tend to knot both ends of a bit of floss to a toy mouse since Bosie is obsessed with chasing it. He doesn't like yarn or string, but floss makes him go crazy and he's visibly and loudly put out when I don't play with him enough using the mouse-floss contraption. I always supervise him and...

I've heard Tiny Tiger is great, especially their Whitefish and Tuna. Maybe you can order a sample size and convince him to order more if your cat(s) like it? :insertevillaugh: But I feel you. I got INORDINATELY excited about finding out that Bosie's favourite food (meaning the only one he eats...

I would put the chip on the cat who's not eating enough. My sister put the chip on Miryam (the skinny kitty) because Leo kept stealing her food, so now Miryam has her very own supply of wet food he can't get to. I just checked Amazon and the SureFeed website and you can buy different bowls...

Chip feeders are great! My sister has two cats, a chunky and a very slim one and chunky Leo steals Miryam's food all the time. So now she has the SureFeed chip feeder just for Miryam because she doesn't like it if her wet food is dried out...

LOL. Cats will be cats. But the problem is that Bosie nibbles and then moves away and forgets about it. And he doesn't meow at me when he's hungry. So after a few hours when I realise he hasn't eaten all day I have to chase him with his half-empty food bowl and finger-feed him until he...

Sigh... At this point I wonder whether Bosie just has a fear of leaving his food bowl empty. I've been to the vet and everything came back just fine, but even with tiny, teensy portions he barely eats a quarter and leaves the rest. Maybe it's something psychological...? Could he have feline...

Aw, what a sweetie! Her big eyes are adorable... :dancingblackcat:

Oh, darn. Having to return food is always annoying and there's so many ingredients to watch out for... I didn't even know chickpeas were a no-go, personally! Do they get obstipation eating them?

That reminds me of my grandfather. He's 92, smoked like a chimney for sixty years, still drinks a tall glass of bitters every day and has the cleanest bill of health I've ever seen in a man his age. His doctors are baffled. Some people (and cats) are simply indestructible! :confused2:

So glad she's getting to be a little more comfortable!! :) I've found that a lot of cats, especially abandoned or formerly feral cats do seem to be somewhat afraid of humans walking around. Maybe she's afraid of getting kicked, maybe it's just your size? The more shy cats at the shelter I...

This may be anecdotal evidence, but one of my friends had the exact same scenario with her neutered male cat. He was also young and super rambunctious and she almost had to replace half of her interior because he couldn't settle down. What helped for her along with all the other stuff people...

He won't drink any milk at all, never liked it, neither actual milk nor cat milk. I've tried diluting it with water, putting some kibble in his milk, but he wouldn't even touch my leftover cereal bowl. I've also tried some cat broth, but he turns his nose up at anything except clear water. On...

I'm sure she'll be back to her old self soon! After all, the situation she's been in would be confusing and stressful to anyone. To be torn away from your home into a strange environment for days to have quasi-strangers poke and prod you would be a burden on even the most balanced of cats...

Aw, what a sweetheart! She looks like the little dragon Toothless from that movie-- only with fur! Let me know how Feliway works for you. With most cats it's awesome, but some just don't react to it. Must be something about their genetics... I'd second Felis' and Duncan's posts. If she's...
