Hi everyone! My cat had some very serious UTI issues earlier this year that resulted in a major surgery and a mega vet bill for me. The vet has put him permenatly on Science Diet Prescription C/D, which dissolves bladder stones. However...it's an awful quality food! The first three ingredients...

He's a big cat-- but he's always been, and the vet says while large he's not overweight. I wonder though if perhaps he's put on just an extra half pound or so, and that prevents him from cleaning himself? I haven't noticed any weight gain, but I'm not sure small weight gain would register with...

So recently, I've noticed Alcott's rear is...um...less than pleasant. I've had to take a warm paper towel to his area about two times a week or more (which he's just THRILLED about, let me tell you). Is there a reason he'd suddenly have a problem cleaning the area? Is there anything I can add to...

Thanks so much everyone! I'm secretly hoping that in addition to being easier for him to eat, that it'll help cut down on shedding too. I'll check those brands out ASAP.

Thanks! The Nature's Variety is in my area. Is it pricey (can't find a price quote online)?

Hi everyone! My cat, Alcott, has horrible teeth-- and they finally caught up to him. Despite a diet of Natural Balance green pea & duck and regular cleanings, he had to have his remaining 8 molars removed. All he has left are his front teeth, and so I'm hoping to switch him over to soft food...

Thanks I actually don't mind paying to get her spayed/neutered or do have the FIV/Leuk test done on her-- IF I know she'll get a home. I'm afraid to commit to fostering her since I really can't keep her for potentially weeks or months. Though I should add-- she's much more Moggie like in the...

I coach at a high school and after practice Monday, a cat ran up to me and followed me to my car. She was so adorable I couldn't bear to leave her, so I brought her home-- but I absolutely cannot keep her; I have one cat already and while I love the critters, one is all I can financially or...

My cat, Alcott, has horrible teeth-- I think. I've never had cats before, so it's hard to be certain, but his breath smells terrible and his back teeth are very discolored at the base. He eats a high quality food, and hasn't stopped eating/wanting to eat at all. I've tried brushing his teeth on...

I add it to dry food, but don't really do much by way of mixing-- he cleans the bowl anyway, so I don't see much point in dirtying a spoon every night to mix it.

I'm feeding Natural Balance Allergen formula (Venison and Green Pea) so I hope I'll see those results soon! Thanks for the info.

I've been giving Alcott Grizzly Salmon Oil in hopes it will control his shedding-- he's allergic to soy, so most no-shed products are out for me. I searched the forums, and while I found a lot of posts regarding GSO for skin health, I couldn't find anyone on if it helps shedding or no. I've only...

My cat has long been well-trained to not get on countertops. Sure, he's had the slip up now and then, but overall, he's always been good about it. Until recently. Apparently the allure of counters came knocking and was too wonderful to ignore. He's getting on every countertop in the house...

What's that?

I've actually already tried each food by itself, and he was on the Venison and Pea solely for a long time...no fix! Though I appreciate the suggestion
