Going to try a limited ingredient dry food for my cat, her tummy is sensitive and she vomits more than she should. Is the Blue Buffalo basics food any good? What's a good limited ingredient dry food?

I have a 1 year old cat...recently she has started vomiting/ regurgitating A LOT after eating. I used to feed her a 3 oz can of wet food + 1/8 cup of dry food twice a day. (So total food per day was two 3 oz cans wet food plus 1/4 cup dry food per day). Of note, during each twice daily feeding...

No, they did not do a culture of the discharge. I was thinking maybe she got the eye infection while grooming (licking her paw then rubbing it on her eyes/face to clean) after stepping on her poop and not cleaning it off her paws well enough... Thank you for your help!!

Here are some pics of the first eye infection. The second one looked fairly similar but probably less redness. Both times she had noticeable yellow colored pus draining into the corner of one eye (not very visible from pic ... also she kept licking it off) and was squinting. If she has pus in...

I have a 10 month old female kitten and she has had 2 eye infections about 4 and a half months apart. Both times I took her to the vet, and they gave her a shot of steroids/antibiotics and then steroid/antibiotic eye drops. I use the eye drops for the full treatment period they tell me even...

No!!! You did right for adopting a homeless kitten! Shelters, while being the most humane option available for the millions of homeless pets, aren't good places for animals. Kitten would be jammed into a small cage halfway taken up by a litterbox, shoved next to other hissing cats. When people...

I paid about $100 for my kitten's spay at a vaccination clinic. That was probably the cheapest price, other vets that I called charged around $150 -$450. I was considering bringing her to an animal hospital for about $200-$250 because I was almost dissuaded by the price being so low, but I...

Anyone know a good store, website, or brand to buy cat trees/cat condos? They have them at the local petco, but I wasn't impressed with what was there, especially for the price. Most of their items were very wobbly, not very sturdy. Also my cat loves hideout holes! Help appreciated!

Maybe I am lucky but I just put new food in front of my kitten and she eats it! I rotate the brands a lot. She did have a lot of poop one time after swapping up brands and eating more. She vomited a couple of times but I think that was because she tried to eat too much in one go. When I got...

Maybe the kitten did not have a mom that was litter box trained or did not get enough time with mom for him to learn how to use the box? My kitten used to always push all the litter to one side of the box, until one day she decided to watch me flatten all the litter back down when I was cleaning...

Solutions I've read in other threads: 1. Cat burrito (This sounds realllllyyy mean and I don't want her to hate me) 2. Cat trim at petco (it's about $20 but would add up, she hates her carrier, and I'd rather do it myself) 3. Give her treats when she's letting me touch her paws (I will try but...

I have read it is possible (but difficult) to train cats to do many things - use a toilet (ew!), jump through hoops, fetch, etc. I have a 5 month old kitten and I don't care if she knows tricks, but I figured it would be super useful to train her to accept claw trimmings. But so far, slow going...

Feeding 100% dry is too many carbs for cats and if they don't exercise properly they can gain weight. Although honestly I think all the hubbub about expensive food is a little ridiculous. When I grew up I never actually owned a cat, but my family and several neighbors fed a community cat that...

Definitely refrigerate. I just put open can in sealed ziploc baggie, and at next mealtime scoop onto plate which I warm in the microwave.

So definitely increase wet food over dry food? Wet food is more protein per less calories so that definitely makes sense. I work 10-12 hour shifts, so I really can't feed her with wet food 5x/day. Even on my off days, I don't want her to get into the habit of 5x/day wet food if I can't do it...

How much should I feed my 20 week old kitten? (She will be 5 months in about 10 days). I got her at 14 weeks and have been feeding roughly 200 calories per day. This is one 3 oz can of fancy feast kitten food divided into 2 feedings per day. (Each fancy feast can has about 100 calories). Then, I...
