Right? Their weight was pretty stable before I changed to wet food, though. They didn't really have an issue until they both gained weight in 2019 and have stayed the same amount of chubby since then, but they look more bloated since adding wet food. The dry food is the only way I am sure they...

So I should just let them each eat 1 can a day with the dry food and it sounds unlikely they will die? If they did start losing weight too rapidly I'm not sure what I would do about it since we'd be back to them not finishing food. Honestly I've just noticed that they begged more often when I...

I give them less food and they wake me up every night 4 hours early to see if they can get more. And Zak has episodes throughout the day. What is common sense with a cat who can't tell you if something is actually wrong? I can't say definitively that I shouldn't give them as much as they ask for...

@FeebysOwner The weight aspect is really the part that is keeping me up at night. They switched to wet food in the first place to lose weight, and I'm starting to doubt that I'm seeing things correctly because I've measured everything they eat since the switch and my smaller cat (Xanthippe) has...

I'm honestly trying to figure out if I somehow conditioned them to be unreasonably picky because they don't like MOST food, and I have to be careful about the wet food I choose because Zak vomits regularly and many things make him vomit more than others. They didn't like the other flavor of this...

Hi, my bigger cat is 9 this year and weighs 16.7 lbs and my smaller cat is 4 and I am not sure of her weight, but she looks closest to a 7 in the chart you posted. Her body is kind of like the shape of a cheese wedge - she has a very pronounced pouch that makes it hard to tell the size of her...

Maybe I should be posting in mental health forums instead because it feels like my cats are gaslighting me

I am very aware of the number of calories they are getting, which is why I am going crazy about them not finishing their food. They are eating WAY fewer calories than they should and they're still fat. I thought they would get used to finishing their food if it was only offered at those times...

Hi all, I wanted to start by saying I have an appointment with the vet next Saturday, however the constant crying in my ear and consistent flushing of what little money I have straight down the toilet are driving me absolutely insane and I need to ask SOMEONE because nobody on google has the...

Thank you to everyone interested in Zak's well-being. I wanted to share an update that he went to the vet last week and was diagnosed with Feline Hyperesthesia. His urinary tests all came back clear, but the vet noted that his condition is probably worsened by his anxiety and his weight. He is...

No no there is a screen, I just think there must be a corner or something where bigger bugs can squeeze through because they seem to still be able to get in somehow.

Man I WISH mine would hunt bugs. Really any interest in physical activity or hunting at all would be an improvement. When a bug slow enough to catch their attention goes by, they stare at it for like 30 seconds and then poke it with their paws until it gets away. They're the OPPOSITE of helpful...

Thank you all for replying. We took him to the vet after his first UTI was treated and he continued the behavior, but they couldn't find any urinary-related issues at that time. Regardless, I will ask them to check all of this again and be sure to ask specifically about cystitis. Nerve issues...

I've never heard of that, I will give it a try! It's a little tricky because my bedroom is carpeted but I'm sure as long as I vacuum immediately I will be able to get them.

Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately we've tried various diffusers and calming collars to no avail.
