Does anybody feed this food? I'm just basically looking for testimonials. Is it palatable? Have your cats had any problems with it? Have they done well? I'm looking to switch from Felidae dry to something of comparable quality but with some lower mineral contents. I'm not looking for grain...

I've seen quite a few mentions on this forum of whether certain cat foods are UTI-certified. I was just wondering if there was a list of guidelines I could look at with maybe some things to look out for. Specific numbers and percentages of certain minerals would be great. As a temporary...

I just bought a new bag of Felidae the other day, and the kibbles definitely look a lot different than the last bag I bought (much lighter in colour). Fortunately the cats seem to like this kind much more, but I'd like to hear what you guys think of the new ingredients. Old: Chicken meal...

Quite a long time ago I frequented these boards because our girl Inka was having some very stubborn UTI problems. For her first episode, she was on antibiotics for almost 6 weeks (Baytril for 4, something else for the last 2). Here's the original thread for context...

Ok, so here's the story. We have two resident cats in the house. The resident cats are:brother and sister,spayed/neutered,generally passive,and get along with other cats as long as they are not aggressive.A little while ago we took in a mother/son combination for fostering until they become...

What's your rotation? I'd just like to get a sense of how many different brands/flavors everyone is giving their kitties. Right now our kitties get (in order of the amount they get it... or enjoy it for that matter): Wellness (chicken) Wellness (turkey) Innova (cat + kitten) Eagle Pack...

I've heard that the optimal pH for cat food is around 6.4. Does that apply to dry food as well? I'm asking because I visited Felidae's site the other day and noticed that the pH of their dry cat food is 5.5. Is that common for dry foods?

One of the big arguments around for giving cats a grainless cat food is that cats are obligate carnivores, and their digestive systems just aren't built to handle grains. On that same note, how are fruits and veggies better? I don't know anything about what it takes to digest these. They also...

Does anybody know what some of the chemical sounding ingredients are in wet foods? They seem to be in pretty much every brand I've seen. I'm just curious as to what they are, or what they're used for. For example, this is the list for Wellness' chicken formula: Chicken, Chicken Liver...

Other than prescription diets, are there any dry foods out there that are known to be good for UTI prevention?

From the Washington Post (page 2): http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...l?hpid=topnews So.... I'm thinking that this might imply that whole grains (brown rice, white rice, ground corn, etc) are safe? Melamine was intentionally added to gluten to boost its protein level to meet the...

I have PLENTY of cute pictures of each of them on their own, but I'll save those for another day. Here are a few pictures of Tux and Inka, brother and sister. Tux is the boy with more white on him... the one that looks like Batman. Inka is the girl who is mostly black. We got them from the...

I'm trying to figure out how to better identify the main ingredients in a cat food. The following is from dogfoodproject.com. Does the same apply for cat food? I assume it doesn't apply for wet, as I don't remember ever noticing an explicit "fat" ingredient on the wet food I buy. The reason...

Let's recap. - Natural Balance recalls food suspecting tainted "rice protein concentrate" - Their food was made by Diamond - Diamond got the suspected ingredient from an American company So who is associated with Diamond? According to thepetfoodlist.com: Diamond Chicken Soup for the Pet...

I might have used the wrong word in the title. More of a warning than a full scale recall at the moment. Information is still in its early stages. http://www.itchmo.com/read/natural-b...rmula_20070415 http://catpeople.tribe.net/thread/d1...4-75463c19fa79 I've also posted this onto the...

One of our little kitties who is turning 1 tomorrow has been having trouble peeing for about a week now. We took her to the vet and they said it was most likely a bladder infection, so we were given some antibiotics and some painkillers which we give her every night. We've also upped her wet...
