Y'all here probably know that there is a strong school of thought (the Feline Specialists say) that cats should not throw up hairballs; that if they do, there is a GI issue. I have had cats for 50 years, and most have thrown up hairballs. Mittens throws up more; she is a "long-ish" haired...

Honestly I can just as easily by gallons of spring water at the store, we already use this in our coffee maker. I can see if she likes that a little bit more than the distilled water.

I clean the bowls daily. There is a circulating fountain, a lovely one - she uses it occasionally but not very often. I have given distilled. My water here, I understand, from the tap, has some lead so I dont drink it and I dont want my cats drinking it. I could try bottled spring water...

I have found a Furminator brush is best at picking up hair. I am working on getting her to tolerate it. I have tried the commercial hairball preps like laxatone, hairball treats, and other hairball remedies. I may have tried some type of fish oil a while ago...but not butter or olive oil...

She gets wet ID, no known allergies. She is really very healthy; just had a complete senior panel and all is good, no kidney issues. Her poops are somewhat dry; I do wish she would drink more water, I think that is part of the problem. And yes, we do have a kitty water fountain, a great one...

I guess I need to do more of that....is that necessary? I hope this is not a foolish question.. she does not love being brushed. I have several different brushes..

Hi, folks. I have posted before about this but hope for something new. My cat mittens (14) has chronic hairballs. I have tried everything; miralax, metameucil, egg yolk lecithin, pumpkin, slippery elm, probiotics and other specific hairball supplements. The only thing that help is keeping...

I have mixed canned in with the dry and he eats some but not heartily. If I remove it and give him all dry, he gobbles it.

My cat Binx eats canned food in the morning but will not eat it for his second meal. He will only eat dry food for the second meal. Has anyone ever heard of this kind of peculiarity??

Yuki's cysts were diagnosed when he was..maybe a year. He has ultrasounds every 6 months and has remained stable. He is a very healthy drinker. So that is good. And he eats his KD - mostly. I looked over Tanya's guide - the food section - and most of the foods that would be best for Mittens...

Hi, FeebysOwner. Mittens likes canned food. We have a Maiu fountain - I have 2 other cats - and she is the only one who never uses it. Cats! I will look to see what can entice her. I did have some kind of product to pour over the food that came in pouches - it did nothing. Just out of...

Mittens is 12 and we are watching her kidneys.. BUN and Creatinine are normal, but once or twice, here SDMA was elevated one point. We just keep an eye on this. In the meantime, she is very petite - about 7.5 lbs - and is not a good drinker either. So no matter how good the KD might be for...

He gets about three tablespoons of the dry ID and the rest is canned.

Yep, he in fact is a bit round...but he is very active, and eats well when he eats. TX!

He won't eat it if it has canned food mixed in , but this is only at night. He eats canned food in the morning.

True that! You're right. If a cat won't eat, it doesn't matter how good the food is. He is a pretty good drinker, so I'm not worried about that, and he does eat his canned ID really well in the morning. Doesn't want it in the afternoon and evening. He gets about two tablespoons at night.

Hi, Cat Moms and Dads. I adopted Binx a year ago. He had a bit of GI upset so the vet suggested ID. He has been on ID ever since. My issue: he eats the canned ID in the AM but will not eat canned in the PM. He wants the dry ID crunchies. I have read several places that the worst canned...

I am so sad for you. You were faced with a demolition that you could not stop. What was wrong with the landlord, did he not know there were cats? So upsetting. It is not as though you did something wrong. The problem was that you were helpless. Sometimes we are, despite our best efforts...

So I have Yuki, who is three and MIttens who is 13 - and Binx, the new member, who is 2. We got Binx partly because Yuki (male, neutered) was going after Mittens (neutered Female); this started shortly after we got Yuki, when he was about 5 months old. I hoped he would outgrow this, but he did...
