    Looking for cat shirt with zipper; suiticals didn't work out

    I'm looking for a nice cat shirt with zipper that will go on easy and that he can't or won't tear off and leaves room for him to use the litter. The suiticals didn't work out. They were too loose or too tight and I couldn't keep them on him without him suffering. He has wounds he keeps...

    Seeking topical antibiotic, anti-infection, analgesic, anti-itch, pain relieving, wound healing for cats who bite and scratch open wounds.

    I have tried coconut oil, vetericyn+, antibiotic, and steroid shots from the vet, and I can't get the new Atopica liquid they prescribed into his mouth. Is there a perfect topical gel, cream, or ointment that heals these wounds? He doesn't go outside ever, and there are no other animals in the...

    What do you think of this outfit for my cat, Kibbie?

    Thank you so much. Kibbie is not a big cat. When I measured him from collar to tailbone he is about 14 inches. The two closest sizes are 11 to 14 ish and 15 to 17 ish inches. I'm thinking the latter?

    Here is Kibbie today, a 2 y.o. male grey and white neutered short hair. The vet just saw him last week and said his weight is fine.

    I want to feed my grown 9.7 lb 2 year old male indoor cat enough without overfeeding

    He never goes outside and he has roughly only a 1,500 sq ft house to run around in. I think the 150 calories sounds right. Also, I read once that if you can feel a cat's ribs but you can't see them, they are neither too fat nor too thin.

    I want to feed my grown 9.7 lb 2 year old male indoor cat enough without overfeeding

    I believe I have been over-feeding him again. Normally, I try to give him one 3oz can of food a day and maybe 20+ pieces of dry in between 2-3 times a day, and none overnight. He seems to be OK on about that and doesn't lose weight or look underfed. If I start to go over, he eventually barfs...

    My Cat Is Eating A Lot More

    Thank you, everyone. I am currently giving him 3 cans a week interspersed with his Kibble. Should I be feeding him wet/canned more often to avoid the aforementioned complications and diseases? He still seems to be eating a lot.

    My Cat Is Eating A Lot More

    Thank you both. My Kibbie, that's his name, likes turkey meat when I give it to him and he likes cat food with salmon and dried chicken liver treats and Little Friskies Party Mix. Is there a particular flavor of Fancy Feast Pates you might suggest?

    My Cat Is Eating A Lot More

    The vet gave him medicine for worms and fleas. I use their recommended flea medication once a month. He never gets outside. I know cats need moisture and he drinks plenty of water. I still don't see the relationship between getting more moisture in his diet and his new appetite for more food...

    My Cat Is Eating A Lot More

    Thank you, maggiedemi. How do you see canned food helping in this situation? What do you think the problem is, and how is canned food a solution? Thanks!

    My Cat Is Eating A Lot More

    I should clarify one part: I was feeding him every four to five hours throughout the day, now he eats more and wants me to feed him about every 3 to 4 hours throughout the day. The rest of my post is accurate, and hopefully clear.

    My Cat Is Eating A Lot More

    My one year & nine months old male house cat is eating more lately. I can still feel but not see his ribs so he is not getting too fat or too thin. He appears to be the same weight, give or take a lb or two (I picked him up and stepped on the bathroom scale to check). He is leaving a healthy...

    Cat Makes Straining Noise In Throat

    Definitely not purring. He gets up from my lap and goes to the floor until he clears it up.
