This can be my cat. I decided from the beginning she would not be a picky eater. She is generally a good eater and right from the start she got lots of variety. She has three wet meals and a dry meal, the dry at night with the automatic feeder. I put a meal down and it's for her to eat or...
I am so sorry for everyone who lost a cat for any reason. However, I'm seeing nothing here that indicates that it was the Convenia that made them gravely ill. Generally, a cat given an antibiotic has a problem to begin with. Maybe it needs an antibiotic and maybe the Convenia antibiotic will...
Feed her by calories not hands full, or cans full, or anythings full. I follow the 20 calories per pound per day rule and my cat has maintained the same weight for 7 years now.
20 calories per pound per day of wet has maintained my cat at 9lbs for 6 years. Very few treats. She doesn't seem overly hungry, but generally eats all her food before the next meal.
My cat varies from baseball sized clumps to golf balls. Of course, the golf balls used to worry me, but then I realized that they generally reverted back to baseballs. And then back to golf balls. She's healthy as of Saturday, so I just figure it's normal variation.
My cat was taken in for dental work and had bloodwork for anesthesia. Her glucose was extremely high and the vet said, same as you were told, that this can be caused by stress. Indeed, recently she went for a well cat check-up and her glucose was completely normal. Not saying this is the case...
Just a thought, but have one of these vets look at his teeth. It isn't necessarily his whole problem, but my cat, a very good eater, suddenly went off all food. Took her to the vet and got that appetite helper stuff (starts with an M). Slowly she started to eat. Several weeks later she was...
As I say to my cat when I brush her - hair in the brush, not in the stomach. I brush Ailish almost every day and get very few hairballs or vomiting. Plus, she likes it and asks to be brushed. If she likes it, that's good enough for me.
Time is your friend! My cat, about a year old at the time, hid for 2 months. When I brought her home and opened the carrier she bolted behind a piece of furniture. I put a litter box and feeding area in that room. I talked to her when I was in there. She started coming out at night to eat...
My cat, who wouldn't eat people food if she were starving, does seem to be attracted to cream. I'm lactose intolerant myself, so I never drink milk, but I will from time to time have fruit in cream. It's the only human food she has ever expressed an interest in, so I let her have a sniff and...
My cat gets 3 wet meals and 1 dry. I feed her the dry because that meal is in the middle of the night, so I use an automatic feeder. She is fine and eats all of it happily. She does think dry food is a treat, so it works pretty well.
My one-year-old rescue hid behind a dresser for two months. I provided food, litterbox, and talked to her whenever I was in the room. Never forced her to do anything. Eventually she came out, but wouldn't leave the room. Another month and she was out of the room. My sister had a cat, you...
Trip to vet, yes. Then try giving him predictable times of undivided attention as well as meals. This may seem like it will take up time, but not as much time as constantly trying to shoo him while you try to work. Then, never ever respond to nagging. Feed only at the appointed times. At...
I would suggest never giving treats or attention in response to nagging. Never, ever. That just teaches them that if they nag long enough they will get what they want. I finally learned that if I sat down in my chair to do something it helps to give my cat several minutes of undivided...
My cat is not a super picky eater, but she will not TOUCH Tiki Cat in any form, so it is possible. Of course, maybe she has defective taste buds too, because, yeah, people report that their cats like it.
Weruva has one regular food that is stark white and the first time I opened it I just figured, "No way will she eat this." But I gave it to her and she could not care less. She has eaten it many times since without any problem. Now, my cat is not a picky eater, but she does know when...
My cat hid behind a cabinet for two months when I got her. Put food and litter in the room where she is, talk to her, and leave it at that. Don't try to get her to come out. She will come out at night to eat and use the box. If not she probably needs a vet. Eventually you will have a pet...
Cats are so different. Ailish likes fish and will sometimes go on a, "I only eat seafood" food strike. But she will not eat tuna, which so many other cats love.
