    Is Egg White Safe For Cats?

    I second the veto on Fancy Feast option...also, probably bottom of the barrel protein source? Watch Pet Fooled on Netflix. I don't think Soulistic is totally necessary. My picky eater seemed to prefer shredded real chicken over pates, and soulistic was one option she would eat. Most of their...

    Kittens Maniacal About Food - Help!

    @Gizmobius hearing personal experience is always really helpful. They are related, so maybe they could both be prone to overfeeding? I scored a cancellation at the vets on Tuesday. IDEXX stool sample was negative. Monday night I fed plain chicken with pumpkin, and gave a little bit of apple...

    Is Egg White Safe For Cats?

    I think yes, stop leaving dry food out all day and overnight. I don't know what you're home away schedule is like, but if you could feed wet food before you leave, when you get home, and before bedtime maybe that would pace out feeding enough to compensate for not free feeding? I know...

    Is Egg White Safe For Cats?

    I think the general consensus is that wet food is better for your cat. I'm not a vet, but that's what I've read and have been told by my vets. But I think that they eat and get enough nutrition daily is paramount over what kind of food. Cats can be stubborn, and I remember trying to switch my...

    Kittens Maniacal About Food - Help!

    Thank you @Furballsmom :D This is my first experience with raw types. By the time commercial raw foods came into my radar, Maya (pictured) was a senior and not a good candidate to start. I was thinking of pumpkin for tonight. Cosmo seems a little under the weather today. I'm getting more...

    Is Egg White Safe For Cats?

    How old is she? Is this a change in appetite, or just that she has grown up more used to dry food than wet food? Are you trying to transition her to wet food from dry food?

    Hi @PushPurrCatPaws For some reason MyPefectPet doesn't advertise their cat food very well. They have a turkey all life stages (which is what I'm feeding), then a low Phos (which isn't very low phos from what I remember), and a beef. My Perfect Pet. They seem to be a go to brand for my vet...

    Is Egg White Safe For Cats?

    Because of the level of mercury in tuna, it should be fed only as a treat and not a regular meal. Mercury levels build up quickly in cats because of their small size. My cat loved tuna cat food, but somewhere along the way I found this out, and had to stop giving it to her. Maybe it's a good...

    Kittens Maniacal About Food - Help!

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I doubled the amount per feeding, which helped a bit with the manacial behavior at feeding time, but now they have diarrhea and gas. I read overfeeding can cause diarrhea in kittens? I can back down a little and try more frequently. When I increased the...

    Mold Growing On Cat Furniture?!?

    Hi cocobutterfly. I know this is an old post, but I'm pretty sure you are the one who left a review on Amazon and saved me from buying that Vesper cat tree. So if you did, thank you for that! Speaking from personal experience mold can wreak havoc on multiple systems of the body in humans and...
