    Cannot get ex-feral to use the litter box!

    I completely forgot to tell you the names of my cats! The kitty in my profile pic is Snowball. The kitty that I am referring to in my post is named Other Kitty.

    Cannot get ex-feral to use the litter box!

    A cat showed up at our house last summer and was pretty wild. He wouldn't let anyone come near him and would run from us. Long story short, my son and I kept working with him bit by bit and finally got him where he is now a big baby. I have no idea how old he is but he is a big boy. He is...

    Extremely nervous about neutering

    If I watch over him tomorrow after bringing him home and Wednesday, should he be ok to be on his own Thursday? I am working from home for the first part of the week and have to go back in to the office on Thursday. I can get my mom to check in on him a couple of times but she can't stay with...

    Extremely nervous about neutering

    Thank you for your response. I think I just needed some reassurance. I don't really think I can keep him inside. I have tried bringing him in for just a few minutes a couple of times and he has sprayed twice now inside the house and I just can't deal with that. I have a female cat inside and...

    Extremely nervous about neutering

    I have a stray cat that has come to my house to live and when he first arrived, he was terrified of me. He has been here about 3 months now and I finally have him where he purrs and likes to be petted and loved on by me but is still afraid of most other people. I attempted to catch him in a...

    Cat not eating

    She did pee this morning so I'm very relieved about that. I didn't notice any blood or anything like that in it. She has not pooped but I'm not going to worry about that now. She went straight to the kitchen this morning when I got up and her dry food was sitting there from where I put out a...

    Cat not eating

    Yes, the vet said (and it is in the written instructions) to start giving her the anti-diarrheal medicine tonight and start giving her the nausea medication tomorrow. She finally got up and went over to where her food bowl typically sits. I got her to go into the living room with me and she...

    Cat not eating

    My cat Snowball, (Domestic Long Hair, age 5/female/spayed) seemed ok last night for the most part besides the fact that she didn't come running to the kitchen when it was time to eat dinner. She pooped last night before bed and it was a lot but nothing really out of the ordinary. This morning...

    Looking for some advice about food please

    I have tried the Nutro perfect portions with her in the past but I have never tried just the regular canned food. If I am not mistaken, I believe that she ate some of it and didn't completely turn her nose up to it so I might give that another try. I'm sure that I will be completely overwhelmed...

    Looking for some advice about food please

    Thank you so much for all your help! I'm planning on going to Petsmart tomorrow on my lunch break to see what they have. They also have a return policy if the pet won't eat the food so that's a good thing. I just have one more question if you don't mind. Is it best to get the indoor version...

    Looking for some advice about food please

    Thank you for posting those links. Unfortunately, they are incredibly expensive. I now know that I need to put her on a higher quality food but the simple truth of the matter is that as a single mom with not the greatest income, spending $84.89 for a 12 pound bag of cat food in addition to 2-3...

    Looking for some advice about food please

    Has anyone used the Crave brand or Taste of the Wild brand of dry food? I just did a search on Amazon for high protein dry cat food and it was some of the higher rated ones. I really don't know anything about them.

    Looking for some advice about food please

    Thank you everyone for your responses. Her name is Snowball (hence the beautiful, black color of her coat--lol). The Fancy Feast doesn't seem to be a huge hit but since she does like the Sheba (only the pate) and it is on the list that she gave me for foods that contain less than 10% carbs, I...

    Looking for some advice about food please

    Hello everyone. I am new here and I would like to see if there is anyone that can help me a bit with my cat's diet. I have a kitty named Snowball that is exactly 14 pounds. She is very overweight and the vet said that she needs to be at around 10 pounds. I have had her on Hill's Science Diet...
