    Pooping outside litter box (diarrhea)

    I think you misunderstood my post hoping that you find a solution to mean that you shouldn't? Oh well. I suppose I won't make the mistake of telling you that again. And you're lucky your's doesn't cause pain, very lucky.

    I'm wondering about replies here towards dry food

    Well, how would they chew it up and halfway digest it for their cats? … err don't answer that. Some cats eat stomachs, others leave the stomach, intestines, head, and even feet. It depends on the cat. And yes, I've cleaned up a lot of leftover from kills, ick.

    Pooping outside litter box (diarrhea)

    ^I disagree that it's impossible that he's not had some pain. You have GI issues, and I dealt with diarrhea for years. Sometimes it hurts, though it's not always the type of pain you can't ignore and carry on through. A cat can't say "ouch, that one hurt a bit" to us. Maybe he's had a little...

    I'm wondering about replies here towards dry food

    No one escapes the ravages of time… As for "feral diet". A domestic cat, even living as a feral, will always be a domestic cat given the chance. Meaning: they eat a lot of food refuse we humans create. If you want to talk about dangerous meals, there's one that can cut a life short pretty...

    I'm wondering about replies here towards dry food

    I don't hate raw feeders. I just dislike that people get jumped on when they say they feed dry and wet. The OP wouldn't have started a thread like this unless posts on here made her feel that her diet was somehow inadequate. I'm glad you have space for extra freezers. Meanwhile some of us do...

    Ally scared out of her mind about getting a bath

    When Sho was a young cat he would sometimes smell awful. A cheesy soured smell. Come to find out my DH was taking off his socks after work and leaving them on the floor beside the bed (his side, not mine ). Well, Sho seemed to think this was a perfect bed and would make himself a nest in those...

    Pooping outside litter box (diarrhea)

    Did the vet never talk to you about food allergies and elimination diets? I don't believe in IBS, honestly. Not in humans and not in cats. Something is wrong and this is what they say when they don't want to admit they're confused. Try another vet or try reading up and educating your vet on...

    I'm wondering about replies here towards dry food

    So whole wheat is always good for all people and so is a low salt diet because someone said so online? Both can put me in the hospital. How many people do you think vetted their cats during the Depression? Have you even seen the "medications" used before then? The thing is so many of you raw...

    I'm wondering about replies here towards dry food

    I want to see the proof that pet and farm cats were regularly vetted 100 years ago, let alone that the disease counter parts that have only been understood the last 20-30 years in humans absolutely were not around back then. I also want to know how pet food has caused the rise of FeLV in all cat...

    Question Of The Day - Saturday, May 7th

    I have 9 cats. The range of vocalizations from them covers pretty much all types. I even have one that sounds like a person saying "meow" - it's the fakest cat meow I've ever heard.

    Chumley goes in for his dental Tuesday

    I have some slight issues like that, but it's between Siri and Sho and who should be on who's lap. They get even time, but the two do not like each other in the first place so both actively use that to needle the other one. I would suggest time with each of them in the bathroom, say for tooth...

    my cat is a hunter...

    Birds don't really pay attention to bell noises. You'd need a significantly louder bell to have much effect. I'm more concerned that the OP does not provide their cat with vet care on the premise that they do not believe in any medical care. This cat isn't kept on a product like Revolution and...

    Ally scared out of her mind about getting a bath

    I'm on my actual computer less. Though I don't really get at my PMs unless I'm on my computer since it's a pain on my phone. They shouldn't get smelly like that. I don't bathe mine unless they get something nasty on them. My back just can't handle leaning over a tub for the amount of time it...

    Chumley goes in for his dental Tuesday

    Is he likely to bite you if you stick a finger in his mouth? If he's mannered enough not to do that, sit on the floor, put him in your lap, use your left hand (unless you're left handed, then use your right) to hold his face and gently open his mouth. Use your pointer finger on your other hand...

    Ally scared out of her mind about getting a bath

    I had a cat, and a dog , that did that. Both went outside and both got themselves filthy from time to time and needed baths. The cat wouldn't struggle but occasionally she'd pee. All I could do was try to make it quick and try to get her to enjoy the scrubbing part a bit more. (And yes, you...

    Kitten - Blood Work For Litter Box and Soft Stool Issues

    Just to point this out http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...25&postcount=6 You need to read. And yes, I just got your PM, I'd just repeat what is being told you again here. But to be clear. Cookie is old enough to have blood work. If you can spay them, they can have blood work. In fact a...

    I'm wondering about replies here towards dry food

    True. That's one of the reasons I don't free feed my house cats. The other reason is because it would be near catastrophic to do so... My outdoor cats get a bowl of food each and wet food daily. Neither of them are used to finishing a meal all at once. Even with the wet food it takes them 20-25...

    is tick collar safe for cat and the owner???

    Of course, when misused many are. The difference is, lets say, between a antibiotic and imidacloprid (which is in Advantage) is that the former is still not a pesticide. Sure, taken in the wrong dose or if one is allergic it can cause serious harm, but it's actually treating a medical issues...

    is tick collar safe for cat and the owner???

    Just start calling them pesticides and try to get other people to use the correct terminology, too. I think if we get more people to realize what we're using and the seriousness of the products, and what misuse can do, that we might help prevent some of the OD'ing (wrong dosage/underlying...
