    Cat Diarrhea.. Again

    Yeah, agreed. It's been a month or a little more of nonstop diarrhea AND we were feeding him quite a bit less than usual (most days only 3 oz of wet food compared to his 2/3 cup of usual dry). Plus it was wet food, not dry, so less carbs as well. I'm not SUPER worried, just bothered. He's always...

    Cat Diarrhea.. Again

    Honestly, I've never once went to the vet and gotten a definitive answer. Not once. And we've been to different vets. It's usually always just guesswork, which is essentially why I was trying to figure things out on my own at first. But I knew I couldn't get my hands on an anti-inflammatory for...

    Cat Diarrhea.. Again

    So we took Finlay in earlier to the vets. They did an overall exam; no fever, heart and lungs sound very good, no lumps or bumps, well-hydrated. Only thing was his intestines were liquid-filled, which he said was to be expected with the chronic diarrhea. Finlay has lost a little bit of weight...

    Cat Diarrhea.. Again

    I'm a HUGE hypochondriac with myself and with my cats, so I'm literally just a huge ball of anxiety and super shaky as we speak. Sorry for spam posting.

    Cat Diarrhea.. Again

    As far as giardia goes, all of my cats are indoor (we have 13) and all of them but Finlay are having normal poos. They all share the litter boxes so I'd imagine at least one other would be having issues. I've been really intently watching them when they go in the litter box, every single one of...

    Cat Diarrhea.. Again

    So we got an appointment for Finlay tomorrow afternoon. We waited a little longer than planned because his poo began looking more pudding-like with a slight formation starting. So we figured mixing an expensive grain-free wet food with a cheap, non-grain-free wet food with a 1/2 teaspoon of...

    Cat Diarrhea.. Again

    I'm glad our situations are similar. Makes it easier to pinpoint issues. I hate to be a pest, but can you show me the exact canned food you're feeding Buzz? The stuff we have is like $13 for 12 3-oz. cans and is grain free. The third ingredient after water and turkey is indeed chicken. I wonder...

    Cat Diarrhea.. Again

    Thank you for the attached image. Definitely helps. But yes that does sound a lot like Finlay's case. I checked his poo early on this morning when he woke me from near sleep with the loudness of it. I don't see any blood in it, which I guess is a good sign. Last time when Theo (and actually...

    Cat Diarrhea.. Again

    Okay, interesting. Do you recall what your cat's bowels looked like? Again, Finlay's are light brown in colour, pretty much entirely liquid, and very loud coming out. Just really gassy and airy sounding. Can you give me a brand that you would use with the psyllium powder? I looked it up and saw...

    Cat Diarrhea.. Again

    We plan on it. We are just very low on money. Like very low at the moment. And when we took Theo it was over 300. Which is about 1/3 of what we have right now because of unexpected expenses. We will have 300 taken out for cat food within the next week as well, so it is very tight at the moment...

    Cat Diarrhea.. Again

    I would also like to ask if the pumpkin could be causing more harm than good or if I should continue giving him pumpkin as well? Could the grain free variety of foods we are feeding him be irritating his stomach possibly? Would a cheaper food be better? I've read many things online saying dry...

    Cat Diarrhea.. Again

    Hi again. So last time I posted about my one year old cat Theo having diarrhea. This was in the beginning of September. He went to the vet and was put on a GI Anti-inflammatory of sorts that helped solidify his poo and was on antibiotics. His stool, blood and urine were tested and all came back...

    Is Your Love For Cats Hereditary?

    You're exactly right, but even just 12 years ago, when I got my two oldest cats (I'm 24 now) my mom insisted on declawing them because she didn't want them ruining her furniture. I dunno, I guess being ignorant to what it does to them is acceptable, but then just being selfish about belongings...

    Is Your Love For Cats Hereditary?

    My parents had one or two cats when I was born, so I definitely grew up on them. I haven't gone a day without having a cat in the house. There are a lot of regrets I have from childhood though, like things my mom and dad had done, such as declawing our cats or just straight up getting rid of...

    Nfc Or Mc Look Alike?

    I really do hope Theo gets big! I'd even be happy if he hit 17 lbs like Orbit. Still not HUGE, but honestly I'd be happy about it. Or even if he stayed at 12-13 lbs, he's perfect now too. And you know, I never thought British Shorthair with Koda.. I always leaned towards maybe Bombay or...

    Nfc Or Mc Look Alike?

    I just laughed so hard at the coal shovel bit! Oh my gosh. My largest cat is only 17 lbs, he would be the one we call Orbit. He's just a big baby. I wish he would've been long haired, I have a thing for huge cats with long fur, so adorable. I really do hope Theo keeps growing. He has noticeably...

    Nfc Or Mc Look Alike?

    We had I think, 18 in the house at once, then we moved out, we lost one, gained a few more, my mom kept some and then we took some more from her, so now she has 5 and we have 13. It's hectic but they're all so worth it.

    @StefanZ Which spotted tabbies are you talking about? I states which ones are related, and actually, come to think of it, the only tabbies in the house who are related are Duncan and Finlay. The other sibling matches only look alike in every other way, other than coat colour :p
