Well, the cat has an interesting backstory in itself and was originally found as a kitten crammed into a bag and thrown into a dumpster behind McDonalds, which might be the root of her psychological trauma or possibly maybe even neurological damage (and kinda why we want to try so hard to show...

So this past month I have been reading so many articles and following suggestions to little avail so I am desperately reaching out to you guys cause cats are a near and dear thing to me. The situation is not about my own cats, but the cat of a friend. The cat is 8 yrs old and for as long as I...

So, I figured I'd give this new regimen a week before I draw any conclusions and so far so good! 50/50 has been the perfect ratio. I make sure to wet down the dry food a little and then give him some canned (when I mixed the two, I just got one of those condescending cat looks and he refused to...

Thank you for the 50/50 idea! I'll have to try this out. My kitty is kind of a weirdo and prefers hard food over soft so maybe this will be a good middle ground? :) Regarding the vet, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but was going to see how they treat him this time and if it's...
