    Advice for preventing tartar buildup?

    I’ve tried offering raw venison and beef before, but she’s not into it. She does like wet food, but maybe she doesn’t like raw meat? I have never offered chicken, as I wasn’t sure if it was safe with salmonella and all that

    Advice for preventing tartar buildup?

    Thanks, I’ll try that. She’s kind of picky, but maybe she’ll like it. Definitely worth a try!

    Advice for preventing tartar buildup?

    I have started giving them Purina dental treats, but my older cat kind of just swallows them, which pretty much defeats the purpose 😂

    Advice for preventing tartar buildup?

    My 10 yo cat recently had to go in and have her teeth cleaned. Besides being expensive, it took her a while to get back to normal following the anesthesia. I’m wondering if there are effective ways to prevent the tartar buildup so she won’t have to go through that again? I’m not too sure that...

    Taming A Feral Kitten

    Thanks! That’s what I thought. I’m not worried about her getting inside anything where she might trap or hurt herself. She’s more skittish than terrified by this point. She may come around as she gets more comfortable, and I’ll keep offering treats and toys when she ventures out

    Taming A Feral Kitten

    So, that’s why I got the large cat tent, and it worked wonders! I put her in my living/dining room so she could see us all interacting. And I would also put the kittens inside with her for playtime. They also play with her from outside the tent, and she has so many toys. Everything was good. But...

    Taming A Feral Kitten

    Hello! I recently agreed to foster 3 kittens for a month that were born feral and bottle fed. They are now about 7 weeks old. Two of the kittens are super tame and friendly. They love interacting with people and my other 2 older cats. The third kitten, however, is still kind of wild. In the...

    How Long Is Too Long For A Cat To Go Without Urinating?

    Ok, thank you! So far, he's not doing any of that. If he doesn't go by tomorrow, I'll take him back and request further tests. Thank you so much!

    How Long Is Too Long For A Cat To Go Without Urinating?

    Thank you for the advice! I believe she said that he didn't have enough urine in his bladder at the time of the visit. I think he must've went right before we left because she didn't say he was dehydrated. If I need to take him back, I will definitely ask her to do that. I just want to know...

    How Long Is Too Long For A Cat To Go Without Urinating?

    My 3yo male cat just came back from the vet this afternoon with a diagnosis of bladder infection. He received two shots with antibiotics and anti inflammatories and some special prescription food. The vet said she was unable to perform a urinalysis because she was unable to express enough...

    Awesome! Thanks for the info! I made an appointment for next Tuesday for both cats to get their vaccines, so I'll talk to the vet about it then if it's still an issue.

    Sneezing Fits

    Thanks! I've been keeping an eye on him, and he's also going to the vet for his shots either this week or next, so if he's still sneezing, I'll just talk to the vet about it then. I just wasn't sure if cats suffered from pollen allergies like people do.

    Sneezing Fits

    My male cat has recently started having these sneezing fits, but there is no discharge from his eyes or nose, and he's eating and acting normally. After a sneeze attack, he'll rub his nose with his paw like a person suffering from allergies might do. Should I be concerned about this? Could he...

    My cat stopped eating the wet food the vet recommended

    He is indoor/outdoor so I let him run around, and when he comes back in he's usually hungry. The cold weather seems to be helping too. He's still not eating a ton of the wet food, but the vet said as long as he eats some of the royal canin, that's better than nothing. It also won't hurt him...

    My cat stopped eating the wet food the vet recommended

    Update: I spoke with the veterinarian, and she said that he had to eat the royal canin for now to dissolve the crystals. I have since had some success getting him to eat it mixed with another kind of wet food. She told me to slowly increase the royal canin and decrease the other food, and see...

    My cat stopped eating the wet food the vet recommended

    Thank you so much for the info! I offered him another type of wet food, and he ate it no problem, so I guess he just doesn't like that kind. I bought 4health grain free for my other cat from tractor supply co after reading some good reviews on it. He seems to like it, and I know that any wet...

    My cat stopped eating the wet food the vet recommended

    Hello, everyone! My 3 year old male went to the vet a week ago, and she found crystals in his urine, so the vet prescribed him royal canin urinary s/o wet food. He resisted eating it at first, as he's been on kibble for as long as I've had him, but I convinced him to eat it by putting tuna...
