I know in a small percentage of cases hyperthyroidism can cause a cat to lose their appetite. We have a 16 year old cat that was always a big eater, think take food off of your plate eater. She was always healthier other than last year they gave her a liver supplement and said her liver...

Hi all. My husband just took our 13 year old cat to the emergency vet. It’s late at night here and I am grateful we have that option. Female, spayed, 13, slightly overweight but no other health conditions. Last check up was 4 months ago, up to date on all vaccinations and teeth cleanings...

Our 13 year old tuxedo cat has been squinting with her right eye for the past two days. We have an appointment with the vet tomorrow, the soonest we could get her in. In the past this same eye (and sometimes the other one) would get slightly swollen and itchy particularly during springtime...

Hi all our 13 year old female cat had her teeth cleaned under anesthesia on Tuesday, it’s now Saturday and she still does not seem to be herself. Normally she does fine with it. The doctor said she had a rough time and set peed in her crate, which she does not normally do. We gave her a...

I have posted before about our 13 year old female tuxie who is obsessed with food. We managed to get it toned down a bit, by breaking up her meals, so more feeding times but the same amount of food. We feet an equal combo of wet and high quality high protein dry food. But since we are now...

I have posted about our 12 year old Tuxie before, and her ravenous appetite. For the last few months we seemed to have it under control. We feed an even combo of wet food and dry food, grain free both from Earthborn. She is overweight, 17 pounds and has been for most of her life. We...

Our female Ragdoll cat is 13 years old. For the past 12 years she has undergo teeth cleaning once a year under anesthesia. The last two or three times she has had it though she took a long time to recover from it. She was very groggy, tired, lethargic, and did not eat for a few days after...

We live in a three floor home, with two female cats. We have one litterbox in the living room, we use clumping litter and when we are home we clean the litter box immediately when they use the toilet. But it smells SO BAD. It makes me want to gag. It's not that the smell has increased or...

I have two 13 year old female cats, both in good health other than one being gluten intolerant. Yesterday, the tuxie started to have soft poop followed by diarrhea one or two times, and then she threw up, a lot just one time though. She did not want to eat. This morning she drank some water...

We have two cats, one is 12, the other 13 together since they were three months old. Recently we moved to a new home where the cats go outside (only under our supervision) and the vet suggested that we put some of this combination flea/tick stuff on them just in case, it was by prescription...

I have posted before about our 12 year old tuxie who hates car rides and based on suggestions I received and the fact that we tried everything else we asked the vet to give us a script for something and she gave us Gabapentin in a liquid form. She suggested starting at 60mg but said the full...

Our 12 year old Ragdoll cat has always been slow to warm to people and skittish compared to her more social sister, but usually after a day or so she warms up and is rubbing against the new hooman's leg looking for attention. But she really dislikes my fiance's best friend. He is the only...

We just moved a few months ago to a house in Washington, DC. We have two cats and after living in a condo for years were overjoyed for them to have some outdoor space. They are both indoor cats, and we never let them out unsupervised but they still do enjoy time outside. With our Tuxie we...

I have posted before about my 12 year old Tuxie's constant need for food. We took her off the diet (when she began eating non food objects for the first time ever) despite the vets recommendations, did the math and she is getting the correct amount of calories to maintain her weight. We also...

We feed our two cats the Earthborn wet cans, the tuna ones and we have been for over a year now. The past two batches we bought from Chewey (we only get it there) have contained globs of what look like fat in them. I don't know how else to describe it. It used to have the consistency of human...

One of our 12 year old cats, a female has been jumping up on our bed every hour on the hour for the past three weeks. We say no and give her a gentle pat and she gets off, but then sits by the bed and waits until we fall asleep and jumps right back up waking me up every single time. We had...

Hi, our 13 year old Tuxedo cat has always been a fat cat. She is about two pounds overweight and we have tried everything to get her to lose. She has not gained in about 5 years yet every time we go to the vet we are lectured about her losing weight and my fiance goes on a kick where he tries...

We have two spayed female cats, one is a 13 year old Ragdoll and the other is a 12 year old tuxedo cat. The Ragdoll cat has always been very skittish and the more moody of the two cats. The tuxedo generally has a very easy going disposition with her only downfall being she loves to eat. A...

I posted before with reference to put two cats both are 13 years old and shelter cats. They became mine too when we got engaged. One is skinny and used to vomit and not want to eat but since I got some amazing advice on here we started feeding her earthborn wholistic food only and the change...

Hi all, My fiance and I have two cats a tuxedo (fat cat) and a ragdoll (skinny cat) both are 12 years old. The tuxedo was from a very large litter, so when we put food in front of her she eats like she will never eat again. The ragdoll grazes throughout the day and is very picky with food...
