    Problems with Purina Pro Plan??

    I’m not blaming the brand at all in general. I know that they have made several different changes to their formulas. One cat does fine on it the other pukes immediately (within 1 hour) of eating it. So I tested it again, same exact result. I agree with you it’s something they’ve added that...

    Problems with Purina Pro Plan??

    I’ll pop in here. I’ve feeding my cats several different flavors of pro plan wet cat food. They recently changed their formula, at least the name of the products, and one of my boys throws up his food every single time he eats it. Something is in it that just doesn’t sit right. I’ve got him...

    Cats and new furniture protection

    My cats will scratch woven furniture, leather furniture and microfiber furniture but the microfiber stands up the best. We found these because they loved to scratch the back corners and they have worked better than any scratching post I’ve ever purchased.

    Licking plastic

    I haven’t. I just try to keep stuff away from him. I’m afraid he’d bite off pieces. Is there something you recommend?

    Licking plastic

    Both of my boys will chew plastic bags from the grocery store. But Hank….he’s cost me a fortune in iPhone cords. He knows the white cord is the most expensive and chews it in half as soon as he gets his chompers on them. He also loves anything silicone. I’ve thought it might be pica but I...

    Pet insurance recommendations?

    I have Fetch (it was PetPlan when I purchased it). I purchased it as soon as I adopted my 2 cats. I’ve had emergencies and they have been excellent and paid what was agreed. They do not pay for yearly wellness exams or prescription foods. Also make sure you get your doctor’s notes and be...

    Looking for canned kitten food in a variety of flavors

    I am so sorry you’re going through all of this; I’ve got a similar situation going on with my cat, Dean. He HATES pates. He’s proven to me he will starve himself before he eats anything without shreds or chunks or something he deems isn’t food - like rabbit or venison. You might want to...

    Frustrated. Food Trial Not Going Well

    I tried the toppers - he tried getting just those off - and then walk away. Which is the best digestive enzyme to give him and probiotic?

    Frustrated. Food Trial Not Going Well

    I really know how to live it up on a Saturday night. I built the spreadsheet, LOL, of all the foods and their ingredients. Good idea about moving his food to make him walk more.

    Frustrated. Food Trial Not Going Well

    I’ve thought about that on - it could be all the other crap they put in food. I’ve gone with grain free for now and I’m keeping track going forward of everything I’m feeding him.

    Frustrated. Food Trial Not Going Well

    You’ve sure got that right. Chicken something or another seems to be in everything. It’s really hard to find food that doesn’t. In addition, I forgot to mention, he really doesn’t like pate food either - he likes shreds or minced mostly. I’ve done my best to get some Turkey and duck. I have...

    Frustrated. Food Trial Not Going Well

    Thank you both for the information. I will be following up with the vet with all of the questions you have suggested. In the meantime, he just isn’t eating rabbit or venison. I’d rather he eat than not at all. I’m going back to his regular diet until we see if there are any issues. I’m just...

    Frustrated. Food Trial Not Going Well

    I adopted two brothers about 3 years ago - Hank and Dean. Dean is seeming to be my problem child. I’m going to give a brief history on Dean. Dean had loose stools (occasionally with red blood) for a year and half. We tried all kinds of food. I finally got him poops completely perfect...

    Royal Canin Gastrointestinal

    I’m glad this is working for you. My kittens when I adopted them had terrible loose stools not to mention some other medical issues. We started them on this for their dry and Science Diet ID Stew for their wet (they refused the RC High Energy wet) and it was magic. They’ve grown like weeds...

    Low White Blood Count/low Platelets

    Update on Dean. We went to our "new" vet yesterday. I'm so happy that his blood work is back to normal. He's playing again and otherwise much happier and healthier. So glad to have my crazy 5 month old kitten back! I was able to work from home this week to keep an eye on him. I fed him...

    Low White Blood Count/low Platelets

    That’s a good idea. I think I will call another vet tomorrow. He did try to play some tonight which I’m pleased to see. He’s just so flat — I have to tell you- I hate vaccines. I know they have their purpose but I really am concerned that it’s an immune reaction to the vaccine. Thanks for...

    Low White Blood Count/low Platelets

    OMG, we’re at it again. After Hank had the panleukopenia scare right after we adopted he and his brother, everyone was doing great! Growing like weeds. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago. The boys both had their final FVRCP/Rabies vaccines. We were doing great until..... Wednesday - Dean has...

    How Much To Feed

    Hey there experts on kittens! Hank and Dean are doing well. They are now 4.5 months old but they are huge! They weigh 6.5# each! When I was at the vet yesterday for their rabies vaccine she said she thought they might be weighing too much but of course you can't put a kitten on a diet. They...
