    Trying To Keep Older Cat Weight Up...

    Sorry to be so slow getting back - things have gotten a little crazy........ We've been feeding a variety of the single serving foods 'cause we KNOW her royal highness doesn't like leftovers OR cold food (we've been warming slightly in the microwave for years). And we feed a couple different...

    Trying To Keep Older Cat Weight Up...

    Thanks for the replies... We’ve been told, by the various cat sites as well as our vet, that wet food is preferable to dry since it contains more moisture and if I recall correctly, had more calories per volume. So, we’ve been feeding wet, which the cat seems to prefer, though we keep dry in a...

    Trying To Keep Older Cat Weight Up...

    Yup, another question about getting the cat to eat more. We've had our 11-year-old indoor cat for at least 10 years. Early on, we fed wet food twice/day and kept dry food available all the time. Worked fine. A couple years ago our vet commented that she was slowly losing weight so we tried...

    Brownie Won't Poop In The Litter - At Home

    I read through the information about avoidance... It's not spraying - she urinates in the litter box fine. She's been to the vet regularly, and other than the mega-colon, for which she's taken Cisapride for years, she's healthy. In terms of the litterbox, she has THREE. One upstairs that...

    Brownie Won't Poop In The Litter - At Home

    The domestic associate was bored last weekend... And happened upon "My Cat from Hell"... And started watching episodes... After a few hours of cat's fighting, urinating all over the house, store, furniture, walls, and so on, along with spraying, marking, biting and all the other catastrophes...

    Brownie Won't Poop In The Litter - At Home

    OK, so giving a home to a kitten or two (we usually get cats in multiples so they have someone to play with, heckle, and cuddle with for sleeping) isn't necessarily a bad idea - at least in terms of litter... Am I correct in my understanding that kittens (we'd probably get two females that...

    Brownie Won't Poop In The Litter - At Home

    Brownie is an 11-year-old tabby we rescued 10 years ago. I started a topic several years ago about this problem, but figured it might be worth exploring again..... Originally she went int he litter just fine. For several years. Then, she apparently got mega-colon, and was treated for it...

    Skyy, This Afternoon

    It’s been 10 years, and I’ve tried, but I’ve never been able to go to the Rainbow Bridge and write about Gracie. But, I’m going to try to say a proper goodbye to Skyy. Ten years ago in June, after we lost Gracie, we went to the shelter. And spent a couple hours with the adult cats. I opened...

    Putting Weight On One Of Our Cats?

    Sadly, in the last month, Skyy lost another half pound, so we went back to the vet. They did an x-ray and examination of her throat, and found a bony mass in her throat, extending into the inner ear area. After talking to the vet and his assessment that it was terminal and was causing her to...

    Putting Weight On One Of Our Cats?

    Thanks for the replies...... Feeding her more doesn't work. She's a nibbler, not a gobbler, so no matter what's in the bowl, when she gets full, she quits. She'll walk away from tuna when she's full... As for the Royal Canin, when we got the cats, they were being fed that dry, and our vet...

    Putting Weight On One Of Our Cats?

    Thanks for the replies... I'll take a look at the EVO - I don't recall seeing at the pet food place... As far as exercise, I don't think we need to worry. She's a goof, always getting into things. Nosiest cat in the world, who can't stand anything to happen without her being there...

    Putting Weight On One Of Our Cats?

    I've read several topics in here about feeding and weight gain, but rather than putting this on a two-year-old topic I thought I'd ask about our specific situation... We have two rescue cats. Brownie is a 10 year old, 10 pound tabby who's fine and normal weight. Skyy is a very small cat who is...

    Oriental Short Hair

    Ziggy is 1 year old, so he's still maturing, but he's absolutely beautiful and a delight to photograph.  Very alert and active, which provides great poses.

    I got to photograph a Lykoi

    I totally understand!  Unfortunately, you're right about the costs.  Traveling, especially flying, with the equipment we use (multiple cameras, lights, stands, backdrops, and all that) is incredibly expensive for the clubs.  There are some that seem to have no problem, paying to bring...

    I got to photograph a Lykoi

    We do a number of CFA and ACFA shows during the year, so I get to photograph some incredible cats.  I"d love to find more shows arsound the country, but some cat clubs are reluctant to pay to bring in a photographer that specializes in cats, so we work mostly in the Minnesota area.  I've been...
