    Should one feed special formula kidney food right from the get-go?

    After dealing with my massive loss, I wonder if it's ever too soon to begin a kidney-friendly diet. We feed BLUE standard food (not Wilderness or Basics) and have done so for the past 4 years (before that was Taste Of The Wild until our William got kidney stones). Their coats are lustrous and...

    Sadie is ready to cross the bridge.

    My beautiful 16 yo calico Sadie, whom I've had for 12 wonderful years (since 2008) is nearing the end. We are a cat loving household with four adorable cats. She had some hip wasting starting in 2018 but it wasn't anything alarming until about a year later when we began to see her drop weight...

    Bengal Troubles

    Kamikaze (as we have named him, due to his insane energy and running into/over/under things) has been sort of a problem child since we got him 18 months ago. We bought him from an independent non-professional breeder but he isn't officially licensed. We got him at age 1 month. I'm guessing he...

    Introducing a new kitten to the family

    2 of our 3 adult cats are very upset that we decided to bring a kitten into the family. Kitten (Benji) is roughly 8 weeks of age. They fight a lot and are hissing. When the kitten is not around they are fine but when he is in the room they hiss at each other. Sometimes the 2 adults fight with...

    What the poop?

    So, to make this a short story, we recently moved in to a house in a small town where some feral cats have been hanging out. Turns out a mother cat (affectionately named by us "mama cat") has had 2 batches of litters; one with two cats that are now around 8 months, no longer feeding; and the...

    Haha, my cat loves watching TV

    She's such a weird, interesting, crazy cat. If we're watching a movie she really doesn't care, but once we turn on Animal Planet she parks her behind on the couch or on the floor and actually WATCHES tv. When a commercial comes on she does something else like groom herself or look somewhere else...

    Iams Original Chicken Formula for UTI in male cat?

    We had been feeding Gabriel the Royal Canin SO formula for awhile until it got to be too expensive. We switched to Purina One Urinary Tract formula and so far it has been working well (2 months going strong). Only problem is that Chicken is the third ingredient, and it's sandwiched between corn...

    Is holistic food just hype?

    We switched our cats to holistic food about a year or so ago, as I was convinced that more expensive food with real ingredients made a difference. But I got to thinking after our youngest one got a UTI. When I was growing up we had two cats, one of them lived to be 16 human years, and ate...

    Will feeding wet food reverse my cat's UTI?

    Severe UTI in our young male cat, will feeding a 100% wet diet reverse these effects and make him better? Or do we have to feed medicated food the rest of his life?

    Our youngest was diagnosed with a Severe UTI

    He kept peeing everywhere in inappropriate places so we took him in, and it turns out he's had a UTI for a month or so, and now it has become severe. We feed holistic food, mainly Taste Of The Wild and Chicken Soup For The Soul, and just recently started feeding Merrick wet food. I've been...

    I know she's not a purebred, but...

    I'd like to identify my cat once and for all. I've been absolutely stumped and I even bought a cat book to identify features that would help me discover her lineage. I think she's got more in her than just being a plain old "DSH". Friends have said that she looks "posh" and like "a royalty cat"...

    Cats pooping in different parts of the house

    My girlfriend is staying with me for the summer and she has two cats. Our cats are now getting along fine (we have three total between the two of us). This morning I stepped barefoot in a rather fresh pile of poo, and at first I couldn't tell if it was vomit or poo because it was wet (sorry for...

    I scored big time on cat food!

    Went to Petco because I had a coupon for $5 off my entire order. My g/f and I looked around for a bit and we noticed a clearance cart with various cat and dog foods on it. I took a closer look and noticed that they were blowing out Nutro Max Cat (Indoor Formula) for $1.20/bag. They were 6lb...

    What food is your go-to food for your kitties?

    I have been experimenting over the years on what really works for my cat and what doesn't (she will eat anything, literally, she's a garbage disposal! but it's more of my research on how it affects her). Right now I feed her Taste of The Wild (Rocky Mountain Feline) dry kibble and a mix of...

    Introducing new cats...urgh

    Hi, I'm new here. I've taken care of Sadie (my beautiful persian/calico) since I adopted her in 2008. She's roughly 5 years of age and is a very sweet cat. She's been by herself (no other animals except for fish in a fish tank) since I adopted her. At one time I tried adopting another cat but...
