    How do you deal with hunger strikes?

    I honestly wonder about this! I will take him to the vet but in the meantime I guess I have to let him eat his lower end foods.

    How do you deal with hunger strikes?

    He last went to the vet in late November so I believe so he is due. He hasn’t lost any weight and has plenty of energy so I assumed he was just being fussy. I took him to the vet 3 times as a kitten because he wouldn’t STOP eating just for them to tell me that he’s fat.

    How do you deal with hunger strikes?

    Aslan only wants junkier foods right now, it seems. He's started leaving Wellness and Nutro in the bowl half the time, refusing Weruva and Tiki Cat entirely. Even Fancy Feast classic pates, which he’s been eating since he was 6 months old with no problem, are left to dry up now. Pretty much the...

    Favorite wet kitten foods (on a budget!)

    I think Fancy Feast original pates are a great budget food and they are what I fed my Aslan when I first got him, as they were all I could really afford. Another decent brand is Sheba. Now I feed pricier brands as I am better off, but still with some Fancy Feast mixed in. Aslan ate FF primarily...

    Rising Pet Food Costs

    Aslan has pretty much gone off FF Classic Pate, which was the most budget friendly item in the rotation. Wellness, which he still eats, has gotten ridiculous. I really hope the prices don’t rise any further so we can all keep our babies well fed.

    Rising Pet Food Costs

    Yikes!!! I know the cost of everything has gone up but I really think my Chewy order has gotten out of hand. I’m spending between 1.50-1.75 a can for Merrick, Wellness, and 60 cents a can or so for Fancy Feast. Aslan eats 4x a day. I may have to start an Only Fans ya’ll LOL :flail: How are...

    Do cats want more food as they age?

    At his age I would not take anything for granted. Any major changes and I’d take him to a vet. That being said with kittens and older cats, they should generally be allowed to eat as much as they want. If the cat is hungry, let him eat. My boy is nearly 3, and I have to limit him because...

    Soupy Poops!

    Hi cat lovers! I am a bit concerned about my boy, Aslan. For the past two weeks he’s had very soupy poops (gross I know). It’s also a lot stinkier than usual, and I don’t like that I can hear squelching noises from the other room when he goes. He is 2 years old and had some issues with this as...

    Why not fish-based food?

    I used to avoid fish entirely but now I let in a few flavors, mostly Land and Sea varieties from Weruva for the Omega 3s and fatty acids. I won’t buy a whole pack of anything fish flavored though, but I’ll let it slide if it it’s included in a variety pack. If you feed 80% land protein and 20%...

    Can I Get A 2nd Cat?

    I’d ditch the boyfriend way before I ditched any of my animals, ever. :)

    Can I Get A 2nd Cat?

    Thank you so much! My guy will actually be two years old next month but he’s still very active, affectionate and playful. The prospective cat is an 8 week old kitten. I could easily get her a littler box of her own, bowls, and we have PLENTY of toys—most of which Aslan doesn’t find interesting...

    Can I Get A 2nd Cat?

    Hello cat lovers! So here’s my situation. I have one absolutely insane, energetic Bengal cat. I went to the vet today to pick up some mild sedatives for him so I can cut his nails and there was a poster of the most adorable little girl who needs adopting. Now, my boyfriend and I had agreed...

    Where Did You Get Your Cats?

    I don’t get it either. If someone can be cruel to an animal, they’re a sociopath as far as I’m concerned.

    What Dry Food Do You Feed Your Cats?

    I don’t feed dry on a regular basis, only if I’m not going to be around for scheduled wet feedings. I use Merrick Backcountry Raw Infused Game Bird Recipe. Pricey, but he enjoys it.

    Is Your Cat A Real Cat?

    My Aslan can carry on like an opera singer or make hardly a peep all day. It depends on the day.

    Where Did You Get Your Cats?

    I got Aslan from a breeder. I wanted a shelter cat originally, but I was turned down because my apartment is too small. It’s not even that small...but okay. I was turned down by another shelter because they wanted people to adopt two at a time and I am only able to have one for now. Was turned...

    Rotating Between Two Brands?

    I rotate several brands, both so he doesn’t get bored and so I can make sure that he is getting nutrients from a wide variety of proteins, different moisture levels etc. It’s not bad at all.

    Too Much Fish?

    Do you live in the US? You can get most kinds of Weruva on Chewy, including the Slide N’ Serve. You can also get it on Amazon. I feed the CITK pates, not the original pates (because they have solely fish based flavors which I try to avoid). I get these from Petco.com.

    Too Much Fish?

    I’m sure my boy would like those flavors too—he loves the Tiki Cat After Dark—but I also worry about the fish. I’m feeding a lot of Weruva now, and I stick to the beef/poultry/other land animal flavors in the canned variety but many of the pouch varieties—both the meat in broth/gravy kind and...

    What You'd Only Admit To A Fellow Cat Person...

    Every morning when I go to take my intense 7 am pee, Aslan licks my knees and hops right in the box next to the toilet. He goes right along with me. I’ve given up shutting the door, the racket he makes will wake the neighbors. Plus I kind of like it....
