    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Veggies In Cat Food

    Okay, so I know cats are obligate carnivores, please don't behead me. But it seems like there are veggies in many cat foods, high end, low end, and all in between. I currently feed a Wellness pate that contains carrots and cranberries. I don't love those ingredients, but it is mostly meat and...

    Do You Feed "treat" Junk Food?

    Hello, me again with my latest obsessive thought :crazy: I was wondering if any of you are willing to be lax on the ingredient list/nutritional content from time to time to give your cats a treat. Aslan is quite obsessed with the Fancy Feat Medleys (I used to feed the chicken varieties in the...

    For Those Of You Who Feed Weruva

    New food alert: Cats in the Kitchen now has a line of pates that comes in slide n' serve pouches. I know that Weruva Original also came out with some pate pouches a few months ago. It's not on Chewy yet, but I found it on Amazon. Here's a link to the description on Weruva's website: Cats in...

    Carrageenan/agar Agar

    What's the deal with these ingredients exactly? Though I've done my own research, I am still a bit confused. Especially because at least one of these two ingredients seems to be in absolutely everything one way or the other. I recently purchased a case of Merrick Purrfect Bistro Turducken for...

    Dental Health

    Hello fellow cat "owners" ;) I was wondering if any of you have experience with dental cleanings? I took Aslan to my vet for his semi-annual check up and he's in perfect health. But she did say that his teeth were bad for him being not yet 2 years old. She kind of freaked me out, saying he'd...

    How Bad Is Grocery Store Dry Food?

    And by this I mean Friskies, Fancy Feast, Meow Mix, 9 Lives and Purina Cat Chow etc... I ask because my co-worker has just adopted 3 cats and says she plans on feeding the grocery store dry because "it's totally fine." Their foster parent was feeding them Royal Canin dry (which I know is...

    Bengal Vs Boyfriend

    Hi cat people, So I'm having an issue. My boyfriend of eight months confessed to me that my Aslan is getting to be too much for him. Bf claims Aslan constantly wakes him up at 4am for food/playtime (he doesn't do this to me), that Aslan mauls him (this is true, he plays very rough sometimes...

    How Many Ounces Of Canned For Very Active Cat?

    Hello cat slaves :insertevillaugh: I took Aslan to the vet for his annual, as he will be one year old at the end of the month. He is fine, with the exception of soft stool. The vet wanted to run a 200 dollar test but since he has lost no weight and doesn't appear to be sick, I've decided to...

    How Much Litter Is Normal?

    I ask because I go through a lot. About 38lbs every 2 weeks so about 76lbs a month. And I only have one cat! It's not super cheap either, about 40 dollars a month. Just wondering if this is normal as I am new to being financially responsible for my pets. My boy likes the litter high (he'll...

    So I Bought My Cat A Stroller

    And yes, crazy cat lady status is beyond confirmed. I'm 24, so I'm getting a big jump on the stereotype :yess: I got it for him for his birthday next month, he will be one. I figured I could ask for advice here without being judged. I know I'm not the only one. I used to think these people...

    Does Anyone Else Feed No Dry Food?

    I am currently feeding only wet. I have a big bag of Blue dry food that I leave down when I go away for the night but day to day, Aslan doesn't get any and I don't think he really misses it. What I am wondering is--am I robbing him of nutritional value that can only be found in dry food? I...

    The "perfect Portions" Trend

    Am I the only one who is bothered by this? Less food than the small cans (2.6oz vs 3oz), more plastic, messy opening and worst of all, it is more expensive! Iams did it, Sheba did it and now I see Nutro is doing it too? Aslan only likes the chicken and liver variety from them and now it only...

    Aslan Poops On Blankets

    Pretty much what it sounds like. I came home last night to a weird smell in the apartment. I thought it was the trash so I took it out. But it was my bed. He pooped and peed on it. He has never peed before--though he has pooped when I've been remiss with his litter box, which he is VERY finicky...

    Anyone Else Have Just One Cat?

    I was just curious. I was shamed for this by a lady at the vet when I went to take Aslan to get a new set of Soft Paws put on. She said the Bengals, especially, should never be only cats because they will destroy everything. I told her that I can't afford two cats, plus Aslan is an emotional...

    The Pickiness Has Begun...send Help

    I'm a moron. I was just here last week saying I felt lucky Aslan wasn't terribly picky. The cat gods have struck me down for my arrogance. Foolish human. He has completely refused to eat the Chicken Flavor Pate for ten days now. At first I thought it was a fluke but he really will not eat it...

    Why Is Seafood Bad For Cats?

    Hello cat servants! I have seen this mentioned several times now--that seafood flavors are best avoided--but I am still confused as to why. As dense as this sounds, I avoid feeding His Majesty seafood flavors of the wet food because it seems like a lot of other people do. He mostly gets...
