What a handsome boy! My Finn is a very vocal cat. He is constantly chirping (which is adorable) but also SCREAMS when he wants something, which is not so adorable. I feel your pain. I will say that when Finn had an ear infection, he was EXTREMELY vocal. While some cats are quiet and subdued...

I SO feel your pain this... Finn only does well on LID foods and can be really picky (total kibble and Fancy Feast junky), so our options are really limited. I don’t believe Finn has had the original formula, but he has done well on the venison and seems to enjoy it. Hopefully you’ll have the...

He is eating a can of FF with gusto as we speak! Hooray and thanks for the tip! Now hopefully I can gradually get him back on his normal diet.

He did have blood work done and he is completely healthy. I'm assuming it is the Iams/chicken upsetting his tummy because for about a week, he was eating Natural Balance L.I.D. and almost immediately returned to normal. Last night, I caved in and gave him a scoop of Iams before bed (he hadn't...

Hi All, Finn, who was once a voracious eater, is now turning his nose up at virtually anything I offer him. I have offered 3 different canned food flavors and won't even eat the high quality kibble I keep on hand. The ONLY thing he will eat is the Iams kibble that the rescue sent home with me...

Hi guys, My Finn was prescribed ear drops for a yeast infection. While Finn is already feeling much better, the drops are oily and have made the hair around his ears really greasy. Does anyone know a good way to clean up his ears and get rid of the greasiness? I think there is an old thread...

If putting her back down on the ground doesn't deter her and she's not interested in her own food, I would agree with putting her away while you eat until you get past the kitten crazies. It sounds like she may be too frantic and focused on the food to really respond to any correction or take...

Hi guys, Finn likes to travel with me to my S/O's parents' house, which is great because he has a loving home to go to when I travel instead of having to do drop-in visits from a sitter. They have an adult female cat, Luna, who Finn seems to love to antagonize. Finn gets along great with the...

Finn typically only acts out when he is in a really wild mood. If he is doing something naughty and I clap my hands, he zooms away as fast as possible with his tail held high. If he could speak, I'm pretty sure he would be cackling maniacally. He will quit what he's doing but he definitely has...

What a sweet little thing! Congratulations. He's lucky to have you- it seems like you will be a wonderful owner. He is biting you to play. He is playing with your hand the same way he would rough house with a sibling. While you certainly don't want to punish him, it's a habit that I always try...

I'm in the same boat. It's very easy to get Finn to engage and play with me, but he can be a total basket case when I'm not home all day. I would love to get Finn a playmate to wear him out but he really prefers human company. He doesn't mind cats and dogs but is pretty much indifferent so I...

Hi all! I was hoping to get some personal opionions on your favorite interactive toys. My Finn is a very active and lately a very naughty teenager. He lots lots of toys, trees, scratchers, playtime, etc. but is still constantly getting into trouble. This morning I woke up to him trying to bite...

Yes sorry, Abound. I like to be consist with my typos :) Thanks for taking a look. I really don't know much about nutrition besides looking for good quality protein sources and no grain. Finn really liked the turkey pate if any Kroger shoppers are looking for a lower price wet food!

Hey guys! So I was in a pinch today and needed to pick up some canned food and came across a grain free brand called "Abound" at Kroger. The ingredients checked out okay I think... I'm not really an expert. The 5.5 oz can was only like 80 cents, which seems too good to be true. I picked up a...

Awesome, thanks! I think I will do just that - one before work, one when I get home, and one before I go to bed.
