Thank you everyone for your input! I am going to contact the company and get exact percentages for mineral content, etc. I may end up not trying it because I will be doing a feeding trial with the "turkey" formula by the same company to see if he has a reaction or not. If he does not have a...

Some background: Our 13 year old cat was showing signs of a food allergy and instead of purchasing the vet diet, we tried an LID with a protein he had never had, rabbit. The brand I chose was Instinct. I did not want to solely feed dry food (he is used to eating a 50/50 wet dry rotation)...

Duckpond- I will try the site you listed.. I did not know there was a database available. Thanks! Mrsgreenjeens- I totally forgot about the carbs... I honestly was just looking at ingredients and didn't even think about looking into their caloric listings, etc. I will go back and check both...

Hello all, My cat Frazier had some issues with his previous dry foods and we've decided to try a new brand. I had previously been feeding mostly nutro max with some taste of the wild mixed in, but after all the recalls and having him throw up more than once, we switched to "4 health" the...

Thanks so much for your help guys! Paiger8-  We are going to try a combo of your method and using a timed feeder.  We are going to confine him in the mornings until we feed him and will then set the auto feeder to feed at the same time we've been feeding him.   My husband is on the cheap side...

I'd love your advice on which feeder is the best in terms of programming, how "cat proof" it is, and how quickly it uses batteries.  Our cat has decided that he wants to eat about 1 hour earlier than we normally feed / wake up, and it is becoming a hassle and making our relationship with him...

Thanks!  Our vet did one steroid shot, but didn't want to dose regularly due to possible negative reactions (not sure what).  We're hoping this will take care of things, but if not, they can suture it and he'll be in the cone afterwards until that heals.  I'm glad your cat recovered from his...

Thanks again for the replies. CatMinionJess- Yes, he has been to the vet, several times in fact. We have tried topical treatments, steroid shots, and then topical treatments combined with an e-collar.  The first collar was too short and he managed to still get to the wound, the second collar we...

Thanks for your replies guys! I will check out both of those products.

Hi all, It's been a long time since I've posted.  Our cat Frasier has had an ongoing wound issue for about a year, and we've finally had to put him in a large E-collar so that he can't reach the wound on his stomach (the wound was from over grooming).  That said, we're treating the wound daily...

Thanks again for your input guys!  I'll keep you updated and if we end up buying a kitten, I'll post pics, etc.  

Thanks for your replies! StefanZ-  I would be fine with a retired breeder but my husband has never had a kitten before and his preference is to get a kitten over an adult cat. Alistair-  Because all three breeders are now charging the same amount, and one of them was charging about $300 less a...

Wanted to say that I agree with momto3cats... I see nothing wrong with rescuing... I adopted 1 adult cat from a shelter and then rescued 2 feral kittens at 4 weeks and raised them myself.  That said, just because there are cats that don't have homes (in shelters, ferals, etc.) does not mean that...

Hello guys, It's been quite a long time since I've posted here... I'm finally at the point where I'm buying a house and beginning to consider buying another cat / kitten.  I have long wanted a pure bred (either a burmese, tonkinese, or oriental shorthair) and was curious about what the going...

Hi folks! I've been using WBCL for the last 4 years and LOVE it.  However, I've noticed that within the last 3-4 months, they've decreased their largest bag size... From 32lbs to 28lbs, but in most retail stores the price is still $32.  I was willing to pay $1 per pound, but more than that is...

Thanks for your responses guys.  I'm at work atm..so can't check the label...I'll do so when I get home and reply. I was in a hurry at biglots and just saw catfood with chicken as a first ingredient...it was cheap, so I bought some to try and didn't read the entire label while at the store. ...

Anyone ever feed this?  It has chicken as a first ingredient (along with water, fish, wheat, byproducts, and the other usual stuff...It sells for 45 cents a can...which makes it cheaper than friskies in most stores and with meat as a first ingredient, I thought it would be a pretty good deal.  I...

I'd go with Melisine's idea...add another box...One other thing, maybe try to scoop 1 more time a day so that you remove the clumps before they have the chance to pee on top of them again... I have 3 cats and just 2 boxes (I used WBCL multi-cat formula clumping) and the only way it works for me...

Thought I'd add a couple things: 1. Find a good littermat (I use the blue plastic rubbery-feeling type) and put it in front of the box...if you can get a high-sided or covered box, all the better. 2. For the hair, find some time to brush the cats every day or every-other day..I use a kong...
