    very old cat + very big move

    I'm not sure if this goes in health or care, but I'm posting it here because I'm mainly concerned about his health. Move if it's in the wrong spot, it's late and I'm freaking out a little. Fluffy is a twenty-year old orange DSH. He was adopted at three weeks and lived in the same house his...

    cats plus instruments...cat loves flute a bit too much?

    Mostly this is so I can see if anyone else has the same weird thing with cats and instruments that mine does. So I was practicing my flute the other day, and James comes running out of nowhere and starts rubbing all over the flute, then over me. Then he lays on my sheet music. Then when I start...

    getting my cat to eat his prescription food

    Have not tried mixing the food, but I will definitely try that tonight. I just put him immediately on it since his blocked attack so I'm assuming he has to only be on that, you know?  I should try a treat. Problem is he has no attention span, so when you give him treats, sometimes he remembers...

    getting my cat to eat his prescription food

    So Marcus is on c/d wet because he blocked again. Prior to this, his wet food has been soulistic, blue wilderness, BFF, and tiki cat. Now he's on the c/d and he refuses to eat it. He's on an only wet food diet because of crystals but he's turning up his nose at the food and refusing to eat it...

    what do you all think about halo?

    Thanks for everyone's replies! Feeding the kitties in my house is always an adventure...three different kitties (my two and my roommate's one), and my roommate and I having weird schedules. There's James, my roommate's cat, who has been free-feeding for *years* and if he doesn't see food out...

    what do you all think about halo?

    Well, I had high hopes for EVO but only one of the three cats is taking to it, and we've got the rogue pooper and my roommate's cat barely eats any. I tried Natural Balance green pea and duck, but one of mine got blocked on it so I'm super paranoid. I've heard a great deal of stories about cats...

    what do you all think about halo?

    I put my cats on Innova EVO, but they don't seem to be taking well to it. One of them barely eats it, and the other...the rogue pooper...continuously diarrheas outside the litterbox (right next to it, regardless if it is clean or not) and this has only started since I've been feeding EVO, even...

    no one eats pate...

    I work at ye olde petco so I buy soulistic a lot 'cause I'm already there, it's shredded, and I know they'll eat it. When I try mashing it up and adding water and turning it into soup, I get some licks from them, but still most of it goes ignored. I'm always on a budget so I hate getting...

    no one eats pate...

    Hahah I do that too! Glad to see I'm not the only one.

    no one eats pate...

    Yeah, if I buy the natural balance pouches and smash them up with a fork, they'll eat it. It's 50/50 with the wellness pouches when I mash them. It's a shame because so many of the good foods only come in pate! BFF I mash up and they love it that way. But like, it has to start out chunky before...

    no one eats pate...

    I feed wet food in addition to dry, but my biggest problem with wet food is that almost everything comes in pate form. Galen won't touch anything in pate, though he'll lick it if I mix it with water and turn it into a soup (but he still ignores most of it). Marcus will try to eat it (he tries to...

    Survey? What food do you feed your cats?

    Let's see. We've got three boys in my house. Marcus and Galen are mine, and James is my roommate's. But they're all our boys these days James is a dry food fiend, he won't touch the wet. he's sniffed and licked at it but ultimately ignored it. For dry, we feed Natural Balance alpha, but I'm...

    indeed, questions from me

    I mash up the tiki cat for Galen and add water, he eats it that way. Same with the BFF. I've heard weruva is awesome, but no one near me carries it. I did manage to find it once and gave them a can of the chicken and it was well-received, so if I find it again, I'll do that. I give them a...

    playing in litter box driving me bonkers!

    I have two cats, and Galen feels the need to play in the litterbox. He's two years old and does this, getting litter and waste *everywhere* in the damn bedroom. I have another litterbox that's covered, but my other cat won't use it because he's too tall. He needs the open litterbox. So is there...

    struvite and allergies...revisited

    hey guys. So I just talked to my vet and she said I should put both of them on science diet sensitive systems/sensitive skin. Is this a good idea for the boys? Marcus hasn't had any crystals since being on the s/d. He's a vacuum cleaner so I always have to supervise him eating since he'll eat...

    Drinkwell Fountain!!!

    I was once at work and someone told me what the Spanish word for "anole" was...lagartijo! So you really do learn something new every day. I've been thinking of getting a Drinkwell to encourage Marcus to drink more because he's prone to struvite crystals, however, Galen is a very nervous cat and...

    Nutro Max cat canned discrepancy?

    Locally owned pet stores are awesome. I work at a chain pet store (shaaaaame! well no it's a job and I need a job to support myself and the felines), but sometimes I go to the family owned one about fifteen miles away because they have a HUGE and awesome selection of grain-free products and...

    struvite and allergies...revisited

    Oh jeez. Well, looks like I'm calling my vet tomorrow, which I was planning on doing anyway. I mean I hate the by product and pork fat and gluten and all the crap they put in that food, and I worry about Galen because he has some awful scabs behind his ears from the scratching. Maybe if I mixed...

    struvite and allergies...revisited

    He's been on S/D since January, I believe. I'm not sure. He came to me eating Meow Mix, which is crap, so I switched him to Pro Plan, but Galen started getting the allergies, so I started feeding NB, and then Marcus had a struvite attack. So I really don't know what caused it. Food? Stress...
