Lisahe,I'm curious to know whether your cats have ever been on canned food,and if so,what was the transition like? Do the premixed look like real food once added to meat? Is it basically just dehydrated? I noticed one of them said to transition 1/2-1 tsp. at a time,and that seems like it could...

Wow! Lots of good info and resources-thank you all so much for your input! I have been reading between w2's and 1099's! It's almost overwhelming to see what's available. The suggestion of the premixed is really enticing since all I would have to do is cook the protein. I tried one for my dog...

I have 4 cats that live with me in my 1 bedroom apartment- a feral and her 3 babies that are almost 2. They split 2 cans of either Tiki Cat or Soulistic 2 x/day. Because the Soulistic cans are smaller,I most often add Fresh Pet refrigeratored to bulk it up. This combo of foods has worked very...

Lol,I LOVE your feral story:cloud9: Is a diet exclusively of wet food the best? I have been feeding them Soulistic because none of them seem to like pat'e and this is chunky. I did put a bowl out of kibble over night for them to graze on- should I not do that,or is it ok as long as they get...

Hi,so sorry to have disappeared,but I have been dealing with a health issue myself! The vet allowed me to pick up some Clavamox chewables to give twice a day for two weeks. I had followed some advice in another thread to cut out kibble and add water to her canned food,and very shortly...

Thank you sooo much for the info and links,mrsgreenjeens! :thumbsup:

Thank you sooo much,Willowy! They love their kibble,so today I've done as you suggested and fed only canned plus some water into hers. I have been gone for a few hours and picked up some chewable antibiotics from the vet,but would like to see if she improves with just the change in diet. Does...

One part of the problem is that I live in a small place where I also have her kittens plus a dog and that makes it very difficult to target just one of them. Whenever I go into the kitchen I have 3 kittens and the dog at my feet looking very hopeful that I'm either going to feed them,or drop...

Thank you for your replies! Walli,I just posted there- thank you so much for the recommendation! I just copied and pasted,but am unsure about how to remove this one.

I posted this in the health section, and someone suggested I post it here. Any help would be appreciated. The only update is that she is back to mistrusting my approach again- after several months of gaining her trust :( I took in a feral last year when she became pregnant. I had been feeding...

I took in a feral last year when she became pregnant. I had been feeding her outside,but when she got pregnant I brought her in,and she had 4 kittens on 5/15/17. I have since moved and brought she and the babies with me where they remain indoor cats b.c I live near a highway. I had them all...

Sorry to not have replied here. Lol,my dog is the reluctant big sister here and is tolerant most of the time,but when food is involved she is still VERY territorial! The kittens I kept were born in '88 and are long gone. I kept her 3 kittens and they lived a long happy life :) Mom was spayed...

Hi! I hope everyone is enjoying the 4th:party2: OMGosh,I can't believe that these precious angels are 7 weeks old-as of yesterday! I am beginning to have some stress and anxiety about letting them go:( The last time I had kittens she had 3 and I kept them all and it totally dictated where I was...

This seems to have been longer than a week! The vet wants to wait until the kittens are weaned to spay her......

I took the family to the vet Tuesday and everyone is healthy- no fleas or ear mites either :clap2::hearthrob: They have another appt. in a month for vaccines and blood tests for mama. At that time we will also schedule the spay. How long does heat last for them? Mama is driving me...
