It sounds like he would benefit from wet food (as would most cats who aren't already eating it), so it would be good to keep trying. I wonder if switching to meal times (even if it's meals of dry) might help it along?  That is, if you aren't already feeding his dry that way.  If he has a free...

I had a mixup with the different varieties as well.  On Petco.com they had a good sale and the photo of the item showed Multicat, which I wanted, but I got the regular.  So I can't yet report on whether Multicat does anything noticeable for my two (who are not really fighting regularly or...

Tiki Cat is a very high quality food.  I don't really get too nervous about the ingredients since there isn't filler or such in there, and when you see the consistency of the chicken (shredded chicken pieces) you'll see why it would be fairly hard to hide something.  Not that it couldn't be...

I'm not particularly surprised at this. Weruva works hard on the food safety of their products.  If they couldn't say with reasonable confidence that there wasn't a significant amount of heavy metal in their fish, I don't think they would continue to make those products. That said, there are...

I don't have this issue right now, but in the past I've left canned food out overnight or all day after an evening or morning feeding respectively.  I draw the line at about 12 hours, but I've seen other reports that suggest this is fine.  Some canned foods tolerate it better than others in...

My experience with sub-q needles:  the vet gave us 18 gauge Monoject needles, which are pretty darned big!  So of course after all my reading I wanted to try Terumo ultra thin will 20 gauge.  But even with those, the time to get the fluid in practically doubled.  And it turned out for us that...

Pill Pockets if they work.  There are a few different flavors to try.  Expensive but easy if your cat will do it.  Some have no trouble, some will always find the pill in these or won't like them. The pill gun like above is what I've used otherwise.  I still coat it in butter not so much for...

Really the bigger problem might be where to put it that it doesn't look ugly.  It shouldn't stink.  We have two cats and two litter boxes in open and often-used areas of our home.  We scoop no more often than once a day, and they don't smell.  I think the key is probably diet; they are fed...

Not homemade but for what it's worth my two eat their Primal freeze-dried pork (the only raw I have been feeding recently) very soupy. It may help that it's warm water that I add to it, not sure. But it's far more liquid and less chunky than any canned food or typical raw food would be.  They...

Thanks.  Foggy memory, I guess, perhaps mixed with a little wishful hindsight in my personal case. ;-) (As in, 3 years later when I got to all the kidney stuff, I wished I had done the I-131.)  What it would be, then (in most ideal cases at least), is one less balancing act as you struggle with...

I had a cat who could open bi-fold doors and cabinet doors.  Although she's been gone a few years, to this day the lower kitchen cabinets in my current house still have child locks (no children, and the current cats don't mess with them).  She could also open the lower kitchen drawers too and...

Having been through caring for a cat with both conditions, I wish you all the best in caring for Athena. It can be a bit of a roller coaster at times. 16 is a tricky age. Amber was diagnosed with hyperthyroid at 13. Faced with that scenario again, I would 100% do the radioiodine, no question...

How much would you really suspect bowls like this: This is a square porcelain or whatever bowl from Target that comes out of the human aisle.  A couple years old (a few may be older) and you can see the lines in there and I don't know what those indicate apart from use.  Are they really...

Looks like you're on the right track. It can be frustrating. Just like you've found, here in the US it is also common for the food manufacturers to give a wide variance of feeding suggestion based upon number of cans per day or the like, and there is no consistency with this from manufacturer to...

I am continuing to buy specific foods but I do try to get the best cost I can for those.  Right now I'm buying Primal freeze-dried pork in the 14oz bags and Tiki Cat chicken in the 6oz cans. With 2 cats, 7lbs or so each, this is costing me probably at least $100/month, but I'm sure it's less...

PetFlow has been excellent recently for Tiki cans, or at least for Puka Puka chicken (the only one I've been buying, haven't checked the price of others, it can vary even by flavor!)  Assuming you can make it work with 6oz cans (already a savings over the tiny ones), they do bundles of two of...

Nature's Logic makes a rabbit kibble. http://natureslogic.com/products/cat-products/feline-dry-kibble-rabbit/ Note it is not grain-free. They use millet and have a writeup as to why they think millet (which is the most grass-like grain) is possibly more appropriate than things like potato...
