I too have wet wipes on hand, helps a ton. I use huggies natural care only. Usually I distract with food on one end and wipe wipe wipe quickly on other! :lol:
For food... OMG, don’t even start. Kitties and their stomachs :headshake: I’ve had best success with fancy feast classic. If for...
Some of what @mizzely mentioned definitely took me right back to issues with my cat, described in posts on forum. I too solved it by going to a more high carb grocery type store food.
My cat would never eat a high-quality food to begin with, she would always rather starve, but she would...
I know your pain about expensive or ‘whole’ or grain free cat foods, my cats won’t touch them either :( I’ve spent more money than I can count on them. My girl, hungry as she is, will not even lick pure cat foods. My boy same way.
I completely understand your thoughts on carbs and...
Same here with fancy feast classic too. It started probably 6 months back for me, bad stomach issues for one of my cats. I only feed fancy feast. Mostly classic beef, turkey or chicken out of their variety pack. Oh and I used to feed their grilled flavors. I truly could not solve the...
One of my cats has had dental problems all her life. She has had six teeth pulled all on her lower jaw. I found the food she likes best is wet and definitely not anything that’s carb free or Pate style. I’ve had her many times more than I can count refuse to eat when she was very very hungry...
I switched from dry food to wet food and watched my cat go from almost 22 pounds down to 14.
Are used to feed expensive wellness food but not anymore. Now I feel fancy feast classic it's a great green free food and low-carb. You can feed any food even the cheapest just make sure the carbs are...
Second cat is definitely your answer. I am daily out of the house for 12 hours a day, from 7 AM to 7 PM. This includes weekends as well as I like to go out. My two cats are incredibly social and do very well together for long periods of time without me.
They have also been adjusted to long...
My first answer would be to get a second cat, but you already have three.
I noticed you said cat has food and water. With my two cats, they are brother and sister siblings, I only feed wet food and I never leave dry food out. Routine is major key here. You need to establish when they sleep...
Oh yes, few suggestion that will definitely help.
Night sleep
Feed them wet at night right before you go to sleep, each should get 1/2 5oz can. I buy trader joes wet, very economical with great reviews. My two sleep all through the night, in my bed.
Weight
My big cat was 20lb 2 years ago, now...
Hahaha! You just described my boy, to a T!
He was huge in his first year, almost 21lbs. He's 3 years old now. When I brought him for his 1st vet visit, my vet almost fell over. But she was great with her advice and I follower her, and also catinfo.org and he's down to a very healthy and...
I have 2 siblings and believe me, redirected aggression is real and in my 2 cats can last more than 24hrs after a vet visit. I live in a high rise building, so they do not see any other animals, but after a stressful event like a vet, my boy will attack, growl and hiss at my girl like he has...
Long ago I gave away most of my plants. Those I have left are:
Pothos: in hanging baskets in my kitchen. way out of the way, gorgeous, 3 big plants.
6 foot dragon tree palm TOXIC TO CATS: in huge planter in my living room, with only two heads 5 feet off ground and away from any place they...
