    Looking For New Litter And Beware Of Dr. Elsey's Ultra.

    Thank you all for your recommendations. Sorry, I didn't mean to say 100% dust-free as that is not a realistic expectation but I just want it to be less dusty compared to Dr. Elsey's Ultra. Dr. Elsey used to be good but they definitely changed something :( It went from being a top-tier litter...

    Looking For New Litter And Beware Of Dr. Elsey's Ultra.

    Hey, I've been using Dr. Elsey's litter product for a while now and was satisfied with it until recently. It's definitely not 99% dust-free anymore, more like 50% dust-free because it kicks up huge clouds of dust. I heard that they had a formula change? Not sure how recent it is but this...

    Playing Or Fighting?

    Looks like playing to me. You'll know when cats fight because they go berserk! And you'll see fur patches everywhere.

    3 Months Bsh Best Food ??

    I would cut out the dry food completely and go full wet food. Your cat will love you for it and it's healthier. Since your kitten is only 3 months old, I would feed him 3-4 times a day, and as much as he can eat. Kittens can't overeat and they need lots of food for growth. If your budget is...

    Pretty Blonde Rag-doll 1. Bald Spot On Belly. 2. Red Around Eyes 3. Peeing In Kitchen

    Looks like she might have FHV (Feline Herpes Virus) affecting her eyes. Not sure what is going on with her belly, could be ringworm? I would definitely bring her to the Vet asap to get a proper check-up.

    High Respiratory Rate In Kitten

    Thanks everyone. For the first time today, Senna started breathing at a normal rate while she was napping on my lap. Then she woke up shortly after, fed her dinner, and then started flying around the house with her brother, Frank. Not sure if it's the antibiotic finally kicking in. It could...

    New Kitten Japan

    Konichiwa :) Never heard of Schesir but I do know that the Wellness brand is fairly popular with the community. Wet food is preferred over dry. If you can do 100% wet food, your kitten will love you for it.

    High Respiratory Rate In Kitten

    Both my kittens are strictly indoors. Temperature in the house is around 68-75F. Both vets are multi-animal practices. I forgot to mention that Senna "possibly" has FHV. Her left eye was inflamed/irritated, a bit red, and squinting. This was a few weeks back. Vet told me it was most likely...

    Purebites/puresnacks

    Same experience here. Grabbed a chicken piece that was a bit more tan compared to the rest and gave it to my kitten. She stuffed it in her mouth and spat it back out. I grabbed the piece (thinking it was too big for her), ripped it in half and got a good amount of oil on my fingers. She ate it...

    Red Spots. Need Help Identifying If It's Urgent

    I'm going to have to go with Ringworm since they produce red spots but I could be wrong. Definitely bring him to a vet for an examination.

    High Respiratory Rate In Kitten

    They do breath quicker than adults but not at the abnormal rate that my kitten is at. Our male kitten's (Frank) respiratory rate is around 40-60 BPM, which I consider to be normal. Senna on the other hand is going all the way up to 120 BPM on a regular basis. I'll definitely bring this up...

    5 Month Old Kitten, Looking For A Good Diet

    Hey, Wet food is definitely recommended over dry food, therefore I would completely eliminate the dry food and do a strict wet (or raw) food diet. Dry food doesn't have enough moisture, nutrients, etc that kittens need for proper growth. I currently have two kittens, both nearing the age of 4...

    High Respiratory Rate In Kitten

    Hello everyone :) My female kitten (Senna) has been breathing fast since the day I got her at a local rescue. I thought it would normalize by now but it hasn't and it is worrying me. I adopted her when she was 8 weeks old and now she is 3 and a half months old. She was underweight at a mere...

    Ziwipeak New Formula...my Cat Would Not Eat It Anymore

    Thank you for introducing this product. It's literally perfect! Not only is it fairly cheap but it has NO carrageenan or guar gum. I've been feeding my kittens Nature's Variety Instinct, which also has no Carrageenan or guar gum but it's so expensive.

    Ziwipeak New Formula...my Cat Would Not Eat It Anymore

    The only two brands I recommend are Nature's Variety Instinct and Tiki. Both brands have high quality ingredients with no gums or carrageenan. You can also try out "limited ingredient" variants that some brands offer, quite a few available. Another thing you could also try is to add food/flavor...

    Ragdoll 4 Months Food Issues

    I have a similar problem. Both of my kittens will have mushy poop, off and on. Sometimes they will have a nice turd poop and other days it will be mushy. I've had their poop tested and it came back negative. I ordered some probiotics called "Proviable," which I will be adding into their food...

    [feedback] 11-week Old Kittens

    Thank you for the replies! :) Yes, they've been dewormed twice. Once at the 8-week mark (Shelter) and another at the 10-week mark (Vet). Senna will eat all of her food in the morning. Frank will leave a small portion, which Senna will promptly finish off for him. I'm alright with this since...
