Here are the new pants that my spraying cat now wears. They are more comfortable than the "thong" style and I had problems with him pulling out the pad with them. Plus they are MUCH cheaper! I bought them at Dog Clothes Deals at FunnyDogClothes.com - Low Prices & Fast Shipping and the style...

Our boy now wants to pull out the pad that is in the diapers so I am having to change him more often. Pooh is a problem. The diapers can be put on so that the pooh goes out, but some seems to get on the stud pants anyway. I also got a velcro belt to put around his tummy because he learned how...

I have had him on Royal Canin rabbit or duck, blue wilderness turkey, Instinct original rabbit or duck, Core, and a few others. I really didn't see any improvement in his stool with these (except the Royal Canin which he won't eat anymore) and he doesn't seem to be having problems with chicken...

My Yana always goes right next to the box. We don't have carpeting so that's no problem. We have a hand towel next to the box so that he can "dig and cover". He has 2 regular poohs now. I think I was killing the microbs because I was mixing a capsule with his food and then putting half in...

The psyllium wasn't working. I was using 6 capsules a meal and still only wet pudding. I put him on the Saccharomyces Boulardii and he had perfect poo at 2 am. Then it turned back into pudding so I will be working on the dosage. At least it worked once which is more than what he was doing...

Our orange boy (14+ yrs) had been doing fantastic on canned food and pumpkin. Then he threw up a lot. Don't really know why. Got that taken care of. Now he won't eat the food with pumpkin in it and he is back to diarrhea. The vet suggested some dry food with psyllium in it but he wouldn't...

Yeah, I have that problem sometimes. I use the Ultra Thin overnight #5 pad (cut in half) and cover 1/2 the hole where the tail comes out with the cut end of the pad. My Obi can spray up to 4 ft high so this really helps.

The vet thinks he is just very insecure about his place with our other babies. We have 2 girls and 3 other boys. The interesting thing about his spraying is that he doesn't spray in the room that is just his. He also sprays a lot when we first get him out and then gets less and less as we go...

Arizona is an interesting place to live! I got stung by a scorpion in the shower a few weeks ago. I have a cat who hunts for the bugs, pounces on their backs (scorpions and centipedes) until they are worn out, then dumps them in the water dish for me to find! I told him he missed the one in...

This is Obi. He now has a blue and a purple nappy so when one is being washed he has one to wear. The nappy can be put on so that a cat can pooh through the hole, but Obi sprays so high that we have to make sure he is really covered. He lets us know when he poohs by meowing until we pay...

I am very happy to report that his poo has been basically "picture perfect poo" (Never thought I would say that!) for several weeks now. He is on Flagyl every day and it makes him hungry enough to eat the Royal Canin HP rabbit or turkey with a cube of pumpkin per can. I freeze the pumpkin in...

Probiotics don't work with him. I used wheat germ for a few years and that worked. I have also used pumpkin, but so far the only ingredient that has worked has been food with green peas. I've researched peas for cats and asked the vet, but most don't think peas are a problem. I know that...

He sees the vet often and is on Flagyl and Prednisone MWF and Zeniquin for when he has his "fever of unknown origin". He is on only wet food, the Royal Canin Select Proteins duck or rabbit which works the best for him, but he gets tired of it. No grains, no chicken, no fish. He will eat the...

My orange boy, who is at least 14 yrs, has chronic diarrhea with his IBS. He has been treated by the vet for over 9 yrs. He has gone from 14 lbs down to 8 1/2 lbs. The only food that makes his pooh near normal are the Royal Canin Duck or Turkey. Of course, he won't eat them any more or other...

Just FYI, I have 2 cats that have taken over a year to get used to each other! A dominant Tux girl and a dominant Siamese boy! I had the Siamese first so he got to sleep with me (she doesn't care to sleep with me) and I let the Tux roam the rest of the house at night. It's been a slow...
