    How long dry food lasts before getting a new bag?

    George the Cat loves his Purina Pro Plan 7+ dry food (which he eats together with wet food every day). I noticed that after usually 12 to 14 days since I open one bag of dry food, he starts eating less. As soon as I open a new bag food, he goes back to eating the dry food with gusto. While I am...

    Can dry cat food be odorless?

    My cat George is under a prescription diet for early-stage CKD. He has been eating Purina NF Early Care regularly. Three weeks ago he stopped eating it, and I was wondering what was going on. I tried to open a new bag of the same food, and he jumped right over it and resumed eating it every day...

    Weird behavior by male cat? Is he happy or not?

    Almost once every day my 10 years old cat starts meowing continuously like if he is super excited about something. He walks around and meows and usually goes close to his soft bed and starts making cookies with his paws while meowing. If I try to pet him, he goes away but comes back right away...

    Young Again Cat Food: Good or Bad?

    While searching for the perfect food for my cat in early CKD stage, I found this brand and specific food that seems to be quite interesting. It has one of the lowest phosphorus content on the market (low as prescription diets), and it has a good amount of protein (it seems that the old idea of...

    Should I give George a new brother/sister?

    George and Holly lived together since they were born. 10 years. Two months ago my beautiful Holly passed away. We are now giving George tons of love during the entire day, but he is still behaving differently. First, it looked like he lost a little bit of appetite. Now he also hides in the...

    George is feeling sad

    After my beautiful Holly passed away a couple of months ago, her brother George the Cat has been acting weird. He started eating less than usual. Still fairly enough for his calories needs (he has not lost weight so far) but definitely he is less voracious. He is also super attached to me. He...

    My beautiful Holly

    One week ago I was here, checking on you and trying to understand why you were circling the whole time. A few days before we did the only session of stereotactic radiation to fight this squamous cell carcinoma cancer that came back after the mandibulectomy surgery. We were so hopeful the surgery...
