Those who feed only wet food to adult and senior indoor cats, do you also find the 20cal/lb rule to be nonsense? One of my cats is dieing of oral cancer, super important to keep him eating. He's 12.5lbs, at 20/cal/lb he should be eating 250calories. I'm 90% sure he's never eaten that much. I...

My local vet is charging $350 for a 7 day supply of 0.05ml (lowest dose) buprenorphine. That doesn't sound right. I take sublingual bup for my back pain, pay out if pocket. It's very cheap (30x8mg sublingual tabs $24) I can't imagine the price thet charge for cats is normal is it? I have a...

Luke has terminal tumor around his jaw he's got 3weeks-3months with no treatment. I'm curious what your experience has been with (palliative) radiation therapy and if its worth it? I don't care about the cost at all I specifically, want to know how stressful, painful it is? How long the side...

TLDR: One of my cats has a very hard swollen left cheek. Antibiotics havent helped. Curious if anyone has had experience with this and how did it get resolved? My 13+ y/o male cat had some mild upper respiratory infection symptoms and a swollen cheek. Went to the emergency vet hospital who said...

Sprinkling freeze dried is the only way to get my cat to eat her RX kidney food. Stella and Chewy's has about 3% phosphorus (dry matter basis). Instinct Raw has 1.10% and Nulo allegedly has 0.96%. Does anyone know of any Freeze Dried food that's lower than Nulo?

My 13y/o now needs kidney prescription food. She only eats wet food and I've never had any luck with Hills Science Diets. Besides Hills, what other (easily available) brands of Prescription Renal wet foods are there? AND do I need a different RX for each brand ?

6 Months ago we brought home a new female kitten, our 5th cat. Did the usual acclimation/introductions procedures, went well with 3 of the cats the next youngest cat, 3y/o female, kept chasing and bitting/swatting the new kitten. We set up a litter box and water dish in our smallest bedroom...

We brought home a new kitten just over 2 weeks ago. This makes cat #5. Introducing them is going pretty well. Kitten is allowed to roam the house while we are awake, no more hissing or swiping, they can eat together, nap on the same bed, except we have one issue. The 2nd youngest cat (3 y/o)...

We got a new kitten 5 days ago. She had a clean bill of health but they didn't screen for parasites, they just treat new kittens with dewormer by default. She's sneezing a little once every 30-90minutes, it seems to be getting less and I recall every cat I got from that shelter has a little...

TLDR: has anyone know of cheap canned food (under $0.80 for a 5.5oz can) that doesn't contain carrageenan? I've got 4 cats, they get fed 4 fairly healthy meals a day. every couple of day they won't finish their food then get loud and whiney at bed time. Usually if they're being fussy they...

This is more of a pointless rant. We adopted out newest cat a just before the covid shutdown here in NJ (late feb 2020). At that time, like every time Ive adopted a cat there were at 500-1000, between the shelters in just my county. Prove you own your home, are employed, have a regular vet, have...

Recommendation on house plants (not flowers) that are safe to cats AND cat's won't chew. 3 out 4 really like tearing leaves off of plants. I had to keep a palm tree on top of the fridge to keep it from being shredded. It finally got too big, had to give it away. I tried some small potted basil...

Pet Valu's brand Performatrin Ultra Stew was the healthiest canned food my cats weren't too fussy eating. With all US Petvalus closed, Does anyone know of what brand names it may have or clones of the recipe.(Most store brands are the same foods rebranded, or a clone of a major brand, but can't...

My cat just at a five inch inch strip of scotch tape. Is this a wait and see situation or emergency vet visit or ... ?

Went to a new vet over the weekend (regular vet shutdown for the quarantine). The vet there tried to talk me into getting dental chews treats, and some liquid to add to there was that helps their teeth. She also told me to give the cats a COOKED chicken legbone to chew on once a week to help...

What brand and flavor cat food your cats go bananas for (actual cat food, dry or wet, not acat treat, not a can of tuna) Mine is Fancy Feast Beef Classic Pate and Dr Elsesy Cleanprotein Chicken dry food (I put it in a treat bottle), so good they thinks theyre getting real treats.

petsupermarket.com, have any of you ordered from here? Any experiences? I can't find much info on it, its the only online store I've found that carries performatrin products.

I haven't used the stuff before. My eldest male won't pee on clay anymore, I got him Vibrant Life Unscented mini crystal litter (walmart brand I think) I've been scooping the soiled spots Do the cats really not care that the peed on crystal and mixed in with the clean ones. The...

Before the long exposition bellow, does taking a cats temperature with a digital ear thermometer work? Now then... Luke seems lethargic, but hes also older, fat, and generally lazy so IDK. He's been sneezing more than usuall, like 10 times in the past 4 days He's eating each of his meals, but...

I'm reading in multiple sources including this site. Litter should me scooped 1-2x a day (makes sense), AND all of the litter in the box should be replaced every 1-2 weeks. With my 4 cats, daily topping off uses a 40lb/month. I have 5 different litter boxes the tiny one need 26lbs of litter...
