    Otis, my 1 year old boy is pickiest eater alive (or just has ADHD)

    So one of my four cats, Otis, has always been kind of a strange boy. He’s an orange tabby so you can imagine his personality reflects this! Well, one problem I have always had with him compared to my other 3 cats is that he gets distracted super easily while eating. All of my cats are males and...

    Cat food allergies really starting to wear me down :(

    I am basically at my wits end with one of my 4 cats, Daniel, who is a 1 year old, healthy male cat (domestic short hair). We love him to death and really want to narrow down what is causing his food allergy symptoms but time is our worst enemy. We seem to get the symptoms under control fairly...

    Young Cat Allergic To Chicken/turkey

    So I’m new to the whole food allergy thing and we still don’t have exaaaacttt allergens narrowed down. However, Daniel seems to be allergic to Chicken and Turkey so far. We eliminated most common proteins from his diet while he was on prednisone and after about 2 months his symptoms were gone...

    New Young Kitten Not Gaining Weight As Quickly As I’d Like

    So I’ve posted about the new little fur ball already in a separate forum. Harry is an 8 week old kitten who we found last week. We took him to the vet, got him set up on Revolution, gave him his first vaccines, had a general health exam and everything else was fine!! The issue is we have 4 other...

    Found A Kitten And Cannot Decide What To Do

    My girlfriend and I found a kitten on the side of the road and the loving part of us has become attached rather quickly. He is maybe 6-7 weeks old and very tiny. You can tell he needs to put on weight but otherwise he seems generally healthy, alert and playful! He has a loving, cuddly and...

    1 Year Old Cat Seemingly Doesn’t Eat Enough

    My 1 year old cat, Otis, is usually very excited for meal time in the morning and again after I get home from work. He also knows about meal time right before bed and is quick to remind me if I forget! I have 4 cats total in the household. All males. I keep to a pretty strict routine of feeding...

    8 Month Old Kitten Might Be Developing Food Allergy?

    Hey all! It has been awhile since I have been active on here but I am back because of a tiny health issue with my youngest baby. Okay so I have an amazing vet who I have built some trust with and he seems very intelligent, while being young and enthusiastic in his approach. He has helped me...

    Anything I Can Do Here?

    So I feel a little bit robbed. I had a situation last week where I needed to board two of my kitties for just a few hours while some maintenance folks came over to clean and do some repainting (my girlfriend and I are moving to a new apartment May 1). So I got a couple of the cats out of the way...

    Large Cat Tree Placement

    I have 4 young “teenage” male cats and they are all about 10 pounds and very active. My girlfriend and I are moving into a new (larger) apartment in a couple weeks. Currently we have a 6 foot Frisco Cat Tree with wide base that is very sturdy and has held up well to frequent use for almost a...

    2 Of My 4 Cat “brothers” Not Getting Along

    So I’ve had all 4 kitties under one roof for about 5 or 6 months now. The oldest, Otis, is an orange tabby and definitely likes his attention and has spunky/curious personality. Fairly outgoing and playful as well! He is about 1 year old now and has never been aggressive or hostile aside from...

    Noticing Frisco Cat Litter Is Way Dustier Than Previously Thought...

    I have been using Frisco multi-cat unscented clumping cat litter for several months now because of its cost effectiveness and relatively low dust formula. It also seems to lock in odors really well. Because we live in an apartment and space is limited, we originally went with 3 hooded litter...

    Chunks In Gravy Or Slices In Gravy Recommendations?

    My babies are rather picky when it comes to food but I can get them to eat a good mixture of foods like Fancy Feast classic pates, Tiny Tiger Chunks in Gravy, Dave's cat food Shredded Chicken in gravy, and occasionally Friskies Meaty Bits. The only Pate I can get them to eat as of late is Fancy...

    Richard Back At The Vet....again!!!

    For those who have not followed my threads in the past, Richard is about 9 or 10 months old with a sort of "busy" vet history. He is generally very healthy and happy now so we can be happy about that! This time it is nothing major and thankfully it is mostly cosmetic, but Richard had to go to...

    4 Young Cats Possibly Bored

    So I have 4 young cats, the youngest is 5 months old and the oldest is almost a year old. They are all males and seemingly get along very well for the most part. They have all been properly introduced (the best we could do with limited space) and have been around each other for quite awhile. The...

    Considering 7 Day Vacation Away From 4 Cats

    My girlfriend and I have 4 cats (well still technically all kittens). The oldest 2 are approaching 11 months old. The middle one is about 10 months and the youngest is about 4 months old. We are considering taking a vacation to Mexico or Bahamas for about 7 nights. What I want to know is what...

    Throwing Up 5 Days After Neuter Surgery

    So here I am again! Seems like things never really settle down :( Richard got neutered this past Friday and we brought him home around 6 in the evening. The vet said everything went well and he was very sleepy as you would expect. I was provided 3-4 days of pain meds to give him as needed and I...

    Funny Cat Thing

    This is Daniel, he was found under my SUV on a cold winter night in Wisconsin about 2.5 months ago. He was a 7 week old kitten in essentially perfect health who had been abandoned by his previous owner after they had adopted him from a local shelter. Luckily I found him and he now lives with 3...

    Feeding Variety Of Flavors

    So I have finally found a few brands that my 4 cats will eat but I am now realizing that there is quite a large amount of chicken flavors. I am worried that just chicken will result in them getting bored even if there are different brands and textures. Also food allergies tend to be a higher...

    Chronic Diarrhea Without Other Symptoms

    So I have posted about this before, but it I am growing increasingly frustrated with the response from any vet I take Richard to. Richard is a 7 month old male kitten. He has a history of URIs and taking antibiotics. He was finally diagnosed with Chlamydophila Felis and treated with doxycylcine...

    Wet Food Suggestions?

    I have been working tirelessly to try and go through a process of elimination to find 4 or 5 good brands to rotate with my 4 babies. They all have to like the food which makes it difficult but fortunately I have found a few that work. I am on a stricter budget right now and will be able to...
