Lulu is like Kokomo's cat. There was a time she didn't eat her wet food for weeks. It was during the pandemic when I'm convinced all the cat food changed. She was eating only dry food. She's very fussy and picks one food to eat for 2 weeks or so. Then we have to move on. It's always back to a...
When Lulu was a kitten I went though the same thing. I just looked at her records because it’s been so long. I did opt for the diarrhea panel and in addition to feline coronavirus she had this “Campylobacter coli”. They put her on Azithromycin and that was what solved the issue.
My cats are like that too so this past time I had BetterVet come to the house. They were each seen in a bathroom. They didn't love it, but they bounced back fast and I'd definitely go that route again.
It could be chicken or fish. Lots of cat foods have fish in them even if they don’t say it on the label. Chicken entree for instance. Check the ingredients and you may see fish in there.
I bought silicone mats for the water bowl and food bowls. Lulu pulls the water bowl to the edge of the mat, tipping it along the way, but she doesn't pull her food bowls to the edge. She's always played with the water. But she's just naughty. lol
Lulu growls when the doorbell rings and has taught Finn this. Finn! The sweetest cat every born...growls.
Lulu also has a routine to wake me up, open bureau doors, pull out socks, climb in, scratch way up onto armoire, climb curtains, rapidly move claws along mirror making a noise no one could...
I'm glad Cora is better! It's been a lot here too just trying to keep up with fish in foods that have never had it. The list of foods that Lulu can eat on Purina Pro Plan is dwindling. It doesn't help that she is a fussy cat. It sounds like Cora will eat pretty much anything.
The Pandemic...
Lulu has “Ollie the Ostrich”. She brings Ollie up to my bedroom at night and down to the family room in the morning. She uses a strange meowing kinda sound the whole time she’s carrying it. It’s the cutest thing ever and she’s been doing it for 3 years now. I hope she never stops.
I've never had allergy testing done. I was so happy it stopped once the fish was eliminated. I talked to the vet about my suspicion and she agreed that could be it and we would watch to see. It's been about a year and a half I think.
I know I sound like a broken record but Lulu had all of these symptoms and it was a fish allergy. She no longer does this as long as she doesn't have fish.
