I posted a few weeks ago about my boy who, at 15, is at the upper limit of his life expectancy for a Maine Coon. As I said, he was exhibiting every sign of feline intestinal lymphosarcoma. I brought him in the vet at the beginning of it, and nothing specific was found or diagnosed, despite his...

My 15-year-old (and 13-15 is the average lifespan for his breed) is definitely going downhill. He's been plagued with digestive problems all his life -- we finally figured out how to manage them so he's done well with me for most of it -- but in the last couple of months, his appetite has...

Looking for a dry food my senior cats with fragile teeth can swallow without chewing. Someone recommended Royal Canin Babycat, but sticker shock! Anyone/thing else?

If any of you out there also struggle with this, please chime in! So my 14-year-old boy has been stable on his dry food with a particular dose of Miralax daily for many years now -- since whenever I was lucky enough to read about Miralax on this message board -- and even after I slowly...

Is there a semi-moist pouch food like this oldie but goodie WITHOUT "gravy" that can be left out all day for snacking purposes? I heard Tender Vittles was making a comeback and would be available at WalMart, but haven't seen it. I've finally gotten mine to eat wet food, but as I work all day...

I have a senior who's experiencing dental problems (he recently fractured one and had to have two others pulled), but doesn't like anything but dry food. He's very finicky and already too thin. I finally got him to eat some wet, but he won't eat enough of it to sustain his weight. He likes to...

Some of you may remember that my 13-year-old boy suffered a torn CCL when I accidentally stepped on his foot about a month ago.  We went with conservative treatment and no meds, and after about a week his pain seemed to be little to none.  He became his happy self again, purring constantly...

My twelve-year-old boy (one of two indoor-only cats I adopted from shelters around one year of age) has ruptured his cruciate ligament in a hind leg in the worst way possible: I stepped on him in the dark when he followed me to the bathroom because he loves me THAT much...  The guilt is killing...
