Parasite test update: The first fecal test I had done was soon before I started this post. Test from 02/16/23 = NEGATIVE Because Giardia can be sneaky and hard to detect, I waited a few weeks and retested. Test from 03/12/23 = NEGATIVE Conclusion: It seems unlikely that Fancy Feast is infected...

Hi again, I have a little more info, but no absolute answers. I put my cats on a strict Fancy Feast detox. Again, similar to yours, they ended up a little constipated at first. Then Fitz's poop firmed up, mostly. And Kazie's poop was still about 1/2 and 1/2. They were so mad at me for taking...

Hi there. I had a very, very sensitive kitty that passed away a few years ago. Because of him & his various, chronic health issues I began my 10 year journey of researching feline nutrition. You're off to a great start with the skin contact allergy testing. I know vet visits can be very...

( That’s really interesting. I’ll have to see if my vet’s office is able to do that test. If not, it looks like you might be able to order one online & mail it in. Costs about $250. It’s good to have options. Yay, science! I really appreciate you taking the time to make that suggestion.

I read your post while brushing my teeth this morning & have been thinking about it all day. Our experiences are so similar. You’ve inspired me to start the Fancy Feast detox sooner than I initially intended. Like your kitties, mine were also just as hungry, playful, & affectionate as usual...

The late Alexander the Great chowing on some fresh home-grown nip. I love how his nose is crinkled with the effort of pulling that plant out of my fingers. Serious business!

Oh, I fully intend on informing Fancy Feast/Purina of the mystery paw print. Was waiting until Kazie’s fecal test results came back because I thought I’d be telling them they’re spreading parasites. But the test was technically negative. I can’t claim they definitively contracted something from...

Hi there. I’ll get right to it. I have 2 cats ages 3 & 4. Both rescued from different shelters at different times. I got Kazie first. He had diarrhea & rectal bleeding from the start. Fecal test was negative. I got Fitz a couple months later & pretty soon they both have chronic, unholy smelling...

I’m a little confused. You say you’re finding blood tinged puddles, which suggests it is urine. But your vet says “possibly gastritis” which is an inflamed stomach lining. Those are two separate systems. I’m going to assume the puddles are urine for now & share my experience. Blood in urine is...
