    UTI and Blockage - Advice for how to prevent in the future

    Thanks for your message. I just spoke to the vet on call and she said we have to wait until his inflammation goes down (his penis is inflamed) before we know if it’s a problem or not, i guess because he is at least producing pee they aren’t too concerned yet? They also told me he had a weird...

He's on a bunch of meds, and of course, he was prescribed the Hills science urinary food - I might get some of their cans to start, and then hopefully I can get him off that using your tips.

    Cat always wants to be in same room as baby

    My cat Spartacus always wants to be near my baby. He doesn’t touch my baby, just occasionally sniffs him. He gets so close while I breastfeed too. He will stay in the same room as the baby even if someone else is with my son. My son is 3months. any thoughts on Spartacus’s behavior?

    I'm going to be away this weekend and still want my cats to be able to have wet food. (I will have a sitter drop by on Saturday to check, but I'll still need to leave some timed meals for them before I get back). If I freeze a can of wet food and then put it in a timed feeder that has an...

    Oh no, i thought they were fine because the calculators seemed to say so and a year ago my vet said one was getting too fat and needed to lose a pound because he has asthma :( Another reason im hesitating to overfeed but I’ll definitely think about this because I don’t want them being hungry...

    Cats beg a lot for their meals but I can't free feed. Advice?

    They are about 4 years old. 10lbs. Indoor cats but very playful. They are begging before the afternoon and night meals. I like your idea about changing up the dry and wet meals. I might try that. If I check the calories for their portions it's: Morning (Dry 1/4 cup): 102.5 Calories Afternoon...
