    HELP - requirements for flying w/ cat

    Hello, everyone! It's been a while since I posted on this forum. I'm going to be flying with our himie to visit a great friend. While I had already put a reservation spot with the airline, they have not communicated to me any additional requirements. Can someone let me know their...

    Most unusual Kitty names?

    The name of our 1st kitty is a bicolor persian named "Hairy Potter". Poor little man didn't last very long due to a high level heart murmur (bad...bad breeding by the breeder...long story). We're still sadden by the whole incident. It's been about 2 years now... Our current healthy himmie...

    ORDERED to feed nothing but dry and water

    Hey, girls, I'm sure someone has already mentioned by now. It's not the wet food. We feed our kittie nothing but wet with the occasional treats. The poop is actually less rancid than when we feed him dry. Just a thought!

    Natural Planet Organic vs. Innova dry foods

    Hi, it's been a while since I checked into the forum. It's refreshing to know that the forum and its members are alive and well. More importantly, it's great to know that it's resourceful and active as it was a few months ago! As some of you may remember, we have a kitty (well, not such a...

    Himalayan Weight

    I have a himie as well. Have not weighted him for about 6 months, but when he was 1 year old, he too was about 7-8 lb. I know that himie and persians in general tend to be a bit smaller than some of the larger breeds. To be safe, you may want to check with your vet just in case. I'm just...

    Himalayan cat losing color - help, help, help

    Thanks, Saggav and everyone. I believe you are right about the temperature sensitivity. Here in the midwest, it's really hot during the summer. It's our 1st summer with our Himalayan, so we're learning. We're glad to hear that it's natural and nothing deleterious to his health. Thanks again!!!

    Texture of Wellness wet food

    Wellness beef and chicken, our Osmo's favorite, is definitely pate. Nice and solid, with very little mush.

    Unsure (Persian owners look here!)

    We have a himalayan. But for intends and purposes, he's a persian (same face, same nose, same flat face). Yes, ours is an extreme face (flat face). He's also a new cat of ours. He sneezes mostly due to the new environement and the cold temperature over here, but doesn't do the wizzes that...

    What is the difference? wet and dry

    We too have a 4.5 month old himmie male. He's a real cool looking cream point. What colors is yours? We do 95-100% wet w/ an occasional small amount of dry (10-15 kibbles) every other day or so, just to ensure that he will eat dry when we travel. We feed Eagle Pack, Evanger, Felidae, some...

    how often does your cat poop

    Our kitten has been eating quite a bit over the past 2 weeks (up to 1.25 can of 5.5 oz of wet per day --- recommended 1 can per 8lb for adult, but up to 2x as much for kitten). He was only 4lb about 2-3 weeks ago. He feels heavier now, no doubt. My question is whether his pooping of up to...

    kittie keeps stepping on poop in litter box - HELP

    We use Nature's Miracle clumping (corn-based). He doesn't eat the litter also. But I still can't figure out why he's stepping on them. We tried using regular amount of litter (~2-3 inch thick). Now, we're doing it with a thinner amount, so he can see where his poop is. One thing that...

    kittie keeps stepping on poop in litter box - HELP

    HELP NEEDED PLS! Our kittie has a tendency to step on his own poop-litter clump and gets a lot of mess stuck on the bottom of his hind leg(s). We've tried: - get him a set diet (rotation of wet + 1 type of dry - all high quality: Felidae, Merrick, Wellness, Eagle Pack, etc) so loose stool has...

    Felidae (chick & rice) vs. Eagle Pack (lamb & oatmeal)

    Quick Update: So far, so good with the Felidae. We're feeding him anywhere from 15-25 kibbles (~1/8 of a cup?) for the past 2 days without any accident. However, our kittie is an extreme face himmie. For some reasons, he either doesn't like the food or can't seem to pick it up with his...

    Felidae (chick & rice) vs. Eagle Pack (lamb & oatmeal)

    We are transitioning him slowly. Basically, since all the dry food that he's ever tried gives him diarrhea, we have to just switch. However, we switch him very slowly, by giving him about 10 kibbles at a time as snacks to see. Even on 10 or so kibbles, he would have loose stool. Ideally, I...

    Felidae (chick & rice) vs. Eagle Pack (lamb & oatmeal)

    I'm debating between these two formula for our 4.5 month old himmie kitten: 1) FELIDAEÂ174 Chicken & Rice formula or 2) Eagle Pack Holistic SelectÂ174 Duck Meal & Oatmeal Formula We've tried at least 6 different dry formula, and all end with the same result: diarrhea. Poor kittie. He...
