Hi all!
My black cat, Lisi, is dry food addict. And not ONLY a dry food addict, but a specific brand: Costco Grain Free Natures Domain. The primary ingredients are salmon and sweet potato. I really want her to switch it up and eat wet food, or even a different brand of dry food! But this...
Hi Lexus!
Congratulations on getting a cat for a pet. If you raise Lotor right and with gentle love, your new baby will become such a beautiful friend. I have two cats. Lisi came about 3 weeks before Luna. My fear was not about taking care of two cats, but how well the cats will get along...
Hello everyone,
I wanted to give an update! A few months ago, I adopted 2 female spayed cats. Lisi is from anti cruelty and Luna is from animal control. I had a scare with Luna because she did not eat for a full week after her spay and adoption. Fortunately, she started eating and...
I want to give everyone an update on my new cats Lisi and Luna. So, initially, I was very concerned that these cats would not get along. The fighting was persistent, and Luna, the younger, seemed to bully Lisi, the older one around. I wasn’t sure of it at all. I was even thinking of giving...
Yes, to me, this sounds like the groans of an elderly cat. She might have body aches and pains like arthritis, and it might be more pronounced in these hours for some reason, or she might be going through something else age related.
Our pets were loyal. I believe that for sure! But, what is love? My old friends- my cats who passed away—I believe they loved us, and it was beyond the food, comfort and safety. Romeo would at times wander into our courtyard. He stopped when I called him, and let me pick him up to go back...
You have a very elderly cat at 15 years old. It’s good to heed the advice of a vet or a professional but one possible reason for the night time whining is early dementia. Of course, she misses her little sister, and perhaps, even this is a reason why her odd behavior exists now. She could be...
As I have been experiencing 2 new cats in my life and taking in the advice of many here on this site to help me assess accurately their behavior, I came to wonder whether our pets feel the emotion of “love.” I’m learning about my new friends.
I thought about my old pets who passed away, and...
I agree with you. I think I am resolving to let them work it out without my intervention. Lisi seems to be finding ways to defend herself and find positions of safety. And I now think she is beginning to enjoy it!
Thank you for this advice! I have had 13-month old Lisi now for about a month, and 8-month old Luna for little more thank 2 weeks. I should say that I’m calling Luna a brat because I see the bratty behavior, but I am also attributing it to her youth. Luna is an extremely trusting and loving...
Right. I wonder about the commercialization of pet food. I think we all have had experiences with animals who have had long lives despite the “horrible” food we were giving them. But it does make sense to at least try for a healthy diet. So, I think I’m going to go for a brand that has a...
My new cat Lisi came from a hoarders situtation, and I believe she never was fed wet food. I have been trying to wean her off the dry food now for about a month. The only way she will touch the wet food is if I put dry food on top of the wet food. Then, maybe, she will take some wet food...
omg. Food is a tough topic. I really learned my lesson with my last cat. She died of CKD, but I helped extend her life by giving her better food with lower phosphorus content. She hated the prescribed food - Hills Science Diet. So I had to find commercial brands that worked. I had often...
What a sad story! I would be so heartbroken, and poor mama cat. I read that Kittens cannot regulate their warmth as newborns. I thought “Could this be it? Were they in a warm location?” But then, I read that mama cat was not feeding her kittens. Was she physically able to to do this?
