temperpolk, how are you liking the addiction so far? I've tried to get that for years now and have finally succumb to ordering them online directly from the company to try.
also, any noticeable differences between evo and instinct? I've gone over to Evo almost exclusively, since our cat has...
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...
wet: a rotation of mostly Wellness beef & chicken, with a few Wellness core - chicken & Evo venison in between...
dry: nothing seems to work, or for those that may work results in tons of smelly poop
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...
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!
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...
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...
I've been trying to add some dry food to my cat's diet for convenience purposes during our travels. He's getting Wellness canned - beef & chicken and the chicken variety without any issues.
I fed him California Natural - Chicken and Rice variety to him before and he was fine. We took him...
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!!!

Hello,
We need some help...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Definitely cut it. It helped our kittie. Unfortunately, our kittie still gets poop-little nasties on his hind legs. I just posted a new thread searching for help. So 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...
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...
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...
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...
