He does always want a taste of my yogurt, cottage cheese, Graham crackers, etc so I usually only eat those when I've got him shut in the other room as I know they're not good for him. He's odd in many ways... He loves to bite cardboard but fortunately is not at all interested in actually chewing...

Thanks all. Lots of food for thought (sorry,couldn't resist). I live in a very tiny town about 45 minutes from everywhere lol, closest "big" city is Santa Barbara which is where I adopted my cat. Nearest other shelter still 30 minutes away. We do have a couple of feed stores and lots of horse...

That name sounds familiar but I'm not sure... Do you know anything about that one? I'm going back to the market tomorrow. Thx

I think that is what I have- got it at Ross when I first got him. I was surprised how much excess fur came with second brushing when he was drinking again earlier- that weird ferminator really works!

Just noticed at my local market in the pet food section a refrigerated bag of cat food for $4.99 a pound. Didn't have time to pick it up and examine but at that price it's cheaper than lots of canned; I could keep it in the freezer and heat a couple ounces a day to supplement his dry and still...

Because of some economic changes it looks like Galileo and I will soon need to be sharing some of our meals. I still have about 6 lbs of his dry foods left (nulo, I and Love and you) and a few packs of wet. I've been giving him fish once or twice a week when I have it. Am relatively aware of...

Well he really disliked the olive oil, very strong taste,and the only other oils i have a garlic sesame and chili sesame,neither of which would suit,so next time I'm at the market I'll pick up something much milder.I'd thought I could hide it by stirring into his dry nulo/i&love&you mixture...

Well, actually that's not quite true... 37 years ago a beautiful Persian parked herself in my baby's carseat for us to find one morning and then gave birth a few days later. But she and my family were so busy with the kittens and she was so young herself that we never went thru these adoption...

Thanks guys. Will do all of the above. I admit I've been lax on the grooming as he's a shorthaired Siamese who hates being brushed. But just now found something funny-( I've only had him a few months so we're still learning each other)- while drinking out of the bathroom faucet, which is his...

What do you guys use for hairballs? I thought this was a case of scarf and barf but he's been licking a lot more lately again and I noticed a lot of fur in his poops. I tried the Greenies hairball treats a few months ago but he got REALLY REALLY ILL- (like poisoned ill!) vomiting copiously...

Hmmm, but it's heavy right? Still can't lift much with right arm so need to stick with lightweight litters for now. Just ordered more Feline Pine with Cedar from Petco which means USPS carries it up the stairs for free and it's light enough for me to decant into booda boxes. I had been planning...

The first cat I had in my "own" family (my mom disliked all animals so no childhood pets, tho I had 6 sisters and 3 brothers lol) was Brindle. When i got married my husband had a dog and said absolutely no cats! One day when my baby was about 18 months we went out to get in the car and my baby...

I'm intrigued by the emory board attached duo the scratching post. Very clever- I'm trying to visualize it. I have been getting more successful at squeezing my guy's paws when he's lying near me, and have done the "shake" thing with him since I got him (we call it "paws" or "hands"-I know I...

Mine loves to bite (not chew) cardboard and paper plates. The boxes he can do by himself, the paper plates i have to hold for him. It arose out of self-defense. My arm was in a sling so my daughter got me paper plates so I wouldn't have to do dishes. Little did I know that my newly adopted cat...

Just feeding a cat wet food obviously won't turn him/her into a diva lol! I was giving an extreme example trying to be funny. My choices are based upon other considerations as well, and as I said, I'm quite sure there will be times he has wet food too

PS the resource I most used when researching various foods is: pawdiet.com You can enter searches that will compare different brands to each other or examine each one individually. They include information regarding ingredients, nutritional analysis, potentially dangerous ingredients...

I've been using only dry food, so many people here probably think I've really screwed up too. He stays very well hydrated, drinks from both his bowls and also likes to drink from bathroom faucet when I'm in there. He's gained 2 lbs since I got him and obviously thriving except for being...

Oops and I didn't buy it bc I have too much cat food now but as mentioned Chewy's new AMERICAN JOURNEY has a good list of ingredients, good balance of protein, fat, carbs, and they're offering it at low introductory prices

I did a ton of research on this recently before adopting my cat and concluded that 1) I'm obsessive compulsive 2) I'm indecisive 3) I wanted to avoid grain 4) I wanted the first several ingredients to be poultry or fish 5) I wanted high protein, like +- 40%, and relatively high fat +- 18% 6) I...
