I've had my cat for a year and a half and, admittedly, have not given her flea/tick/heartworm prevention meds aside from the initial dose she got at our first vet visit. She's strictly an indoor cat, save for the one time she hopped out the door and was on the balcony for a few seconds before...

I currently feed my cat Simply Nourish Grain-Free dry food (from PetSmart) and have been for the past 14 months or so. She continues to enjoy it, and seems to be doing fine on it. This weekend, I found bags of dry Fromm for around the same price as the Simply Nourish (it's a dollar cheaper and...

He said because it's the age they become "geriatric" - which seems insane to me! I was a little hesitant about the advice, especially because she is a grazer and I don't want to be leaving wet food out all day....she likes to nibble on her kibble! She's never had any blood work done, so no...

I feed my cat a mix of wet and dry food. She gets wet food 2x a day, and eats about 1.5 oz at each feeding. Then, she grazes on her dry food throughout the day. I rotate her wet foods to give her variety (her favorite is probably Nutro Max). However, I've had her on the same dry food for over...

Oh! I didn't know that Chewy allowed refunds - that's great! I'm always trying to find foods in store first so she can try it before I order and it's such a pain because the in-store selection really doesn't match up to what's available on Chewy. I guess a little bit of all three of those! I...

looking for some new foods to try for my girl. She prefers cuts and loves duck flavors. She also likes fish, but if she eats it too often she gets loose poops. Trying to stay at around $1 and less for a 3oz can (would spend more for 5.5 oz), and something I can find in a pet store (I have...

Someone please help ease my crazy cat Mom mind. My coworker recently put her cat down. He was only 8 but had mouth sores and couldn’t really eat anymore. Vet thought maybe it was cancer but he wasn’t responding to the medicine and they never did the tests because she said there was nothing...

My cat got her three year PureVax rabies and distemper on Saturday morning. It's now been 48 hours. For the first day, she was pretty tired and lethargic. Yesterday she was more alert, and was eating small amounts of food. She usually drinks her water immediately after eating. However, she won't...

She seems to be doing a little bit better! She yelled at me to feed her this morning...didn't eat a whole lot of her wet food, but some. She also ate some of her dry food throughout the night. She's usually very vocal and didn't make a peep yesterday, so having her wake me up this morning was a...

You guys have PetSmart, right? I feed my cat Simply Nourish Grain-Free (PetSmart only brand) and she's done well on it.

I brought my cat to be vaccinated this morning. She is 4 years old, and got her three year PureVax Rabies and her distemper shots. When we returned home, she ate half a can of wet food, laid down for a bit, then was her usual mischievous self getting into things and wanting to play. Then she...

My girl is due for her rabies and distemper shots. I worry about side effects because I'm a paranoid pet parent. Do you ever stay home with your kitties afterward to make sure they aren't having any negative side effects post-vaccination? If so, how long would you recommend? My boyfriend and I...

My poor longhaired girl has been having frequent hairballs lately. She's currently on Simply Nourish Grain-Free dry food which she grazes on during the day, and she has Nutro Max canned food morning and night (usually eats about one can total per day). Are there any foods I should add into her...

Thanks! We've had to put drops in and massage the outside of her ears before, but I'm so nervous about sticking something in there! Do you just stick in the large cotton swabs to clean out the inside?

My cat is prone to ear infections. She's been scratching at them a little bit lately, but not holding her ears weird as she usually does when they're infected. I looked inside her ears last night and she's got quite a bit of wax in there, but obviously, she hates having anything put in her ears...
