Hi, I'll try to condense this information down, but if there might be any pertinant information i've missed please ask! So currently my cat has very low to no vision from retinal deterioration and is having troubles with using his cat litter. He's 16 now and has his entire life used tray...

Hi, My neighbour has a cat that basically lives in my backyard now. At first it would just pop up on the fence, but now it's there every morning waiting at the back door. It's only a kitten (maybe 1 year) and has made my older cat (13), not want to go outside. It's not super aggressive...

That's so frustrating if they just dissapear. I'll try to see what they say. Any replacement ideas?

Hi, Does anyone else feeds these to their cat? I usually by them from ebay and they seemed to have dissapeared from there and also amazon. The seller I usually buy them from says they have no idea when they may come back. Anyone know what the deal is? In any event, any recommendations for a...

Thanks for the reply. I have that page bookmarked and was looking over some of the information. I saw this part yesterday: Take action as soon as phosphorus goes above 1.9 mmol/L. If your cat's level is between 1.45 and 1.9 mmol/L, but multiplying it by your cat's calcium level gives...

Hi guys, Sorry for the massive post I added his latest results below. So my 13 y.o cat has had blood and urine results that put him as bordline or possible kidney disease about a year ago and at our most recent visit the vet said he would now be classified as stage 1 kidney disease. He felt...

So I've taken things very slowly, but have not had much progress.  He's familiar with the brush and will lick/gnaw the toothpaste of it, and likewise with just a finger which I can go so far as to rub on the front teeth for secs.  Trying to brush the other teeth and becomes aggravated pretty...

This is the best video I've found.   They reinforce the idea of ending with a treat or something nice so they associate it with 'happy time'.  I'll have to add that in.  My cat really likes the toothpaste, it's just getting him to tolerate the brush is the big thing.   Pulling back at the corner...

My twelve year old cat recently had three teeth out, and has since recovered.   He hasn't been used to brushing in the past and while there has been some progress it's very slow going. I've looked at all the guides I could find online but most of them show very compliant cats, relaxing like...

He ended up having three teeth removed.  It went fine though and he bounced back quickly, and was basically normal from the next day.  It doesn't seem to effect how/what he eats.   His other teeth are doing fine they said so I'll try just to keep the maintenance going as best I can. The only...

My 12 yo cat is scheduled for to have two teeth extracted tomorrow.   This is the first time he's had to have any dental procedure done, and I just wanted to check if there was anything preventative that I can work on that I might not be aware of. He has had dental dry food in the past, how...

I inquired as to the process they use and how that might affect the bone content: I'm still not really sure what to make of it without some follow up questions.  Here is their response to that:  (I assume this is not bad form, I'm pretty sure this is mostly a copy/paste reply) In response to...

I just checked what I normally buy, and they are LARGE organic free range eggs; fed organic grain.  Either way I'll attempt to work him on them. Would cooked yolk be the next best thing?  I actually haven't tried, but perhaps he'll take to that.    I also figured I could try and mix small...

I was just going from memory, whatever they have listed on the site is proportionally what I measure.    My hunch would be that I will need to add a very small amount and possibly work up to more (if I can get him to eat it all).   So I would need to add something to make up for the lack of yolk...

I haven't tried mixing small amounts in yet.  I'll give that a go, but I only feed him a meal of raw every few days, as I didn't know how crucial the egg was and didn't want him eating too much unbalanced. I'm giving him the amount of egg yolk in this recipe...
