    Fleas - what works in your area?

    1. Kentucky, USA 2. Frontline (to be fair, I left my package in a hot car, but on the other hand, my parents had also had trouble with Frontline for the past few years) 3. Advantage for my cat, Revolution for my mom's (and Comfortis for their dog, if anyone's interested in that information)

    Salmon oil?

    HUNTER1, my cat won't take fish oil in her food either. A friend told me about a really good trick she uses. She puts the oil on her cat's paw and he has to lick it off. It works great for my cat. She gets pretty indignant for about five minutes, but she eats fish oil now!

    Cause of excessive eye discharge?

    It has zero cellulose, though really a bit of cellulose doesn't bother me that much. For me, the biggest reason to buy it was convenience.

    Cause of excessive eye discharge?

    I ordered the Now Lysine when I ran out of caplets. I'm giving some of the powder to a friend who wants to try it for her cat's allergies too. No major changes yet, so if I don't see a bigger reduction in another week or so, I'll try the double dose.

    Dragging stuff into the litterbox

    You jinxed it. She's started covering her food bowl with my bedroom doormat and her toy mice.

    Lysine dose for 1lb sick kitten

    She asked me to say thanks! The little guy has improved a lot, and she thinks it's a combination of things including the L-Lysine. He's more energetic and has gotten his appetite back and passed a lot of worms.

    Lysine dose for 1lb sick kitten

    Hi! I have another question about L-Lysine. I have a friend who has a foster kitten who's extremely ill. Here's what she IM'd to me earlier today: She wants to try L-Lysine to help his immune system, and we were wondering, what's a good dose for a 1lb kitten?

    Dragging stuff into the litterbox

    Does anyone know why a cat might do this? It's amusing, not annoying, really, but I'm still wondering why. Astrid has dragged plastic bags, pieces of paper, and once even my favorite panties into her litterbox.

    Turkey gizzards and duck-new protiens for my girls!

    What does "enhanced" mean? I got some chicken gizzards at the grocery store yesterday. Should I be worried?

    Why don't companies make more 5.5oz cans??

    I feed an all-canned diet, and my cat's very picky, and a lot of what she eats only comes in 3oz cans. I hate it! The 5.5oz can is perfect for one day. I just found out that Blue Buffalo is about to release Healthy Gourmet Flaked Salmon Entree in 5.5oz cans, along with some other flavors that...

    Got my parents to put their pets on better food!

    I buy quality wet food that's cheaper than Friskies, and they still complain. They don't even like bothering to wash the dog and cat bowls (like, EVER).  So yeah they won't do that.  And making $40 a week (yay for four years of higher education and almost no income), I can't afford to buy them...

    Got my parents to put their pets on better food!

    My parents still comment all the time on the money I spend on my cat. Sorry, I just don't like her using a mineral litter and licking off the dust, getting heartworms, needing steroid shots, getting urine crystals or diabetes, having flaky skin, having dirty ears...

    Got my parents to put their pets on better food!

    I've been talking to my parents for over two years about getting their cat off of 9 Lives/Kit & Kaboodle and their dog off of Dog Chow and Pedigree. I finally talked them into starting Pippin (their cat) on 4Health All Life Stages, and now they've also agreed to try 4Health Salmon and Potato for...

    How do you play with you cat?

    Astrid's #1 favorite thing is a feathers-string-stick-style toy that our exchange student brought her from Japan. She doesn't play much in general, but she does love this toy and will give it her full attention for a good twenty minutes or so. She also likes bugs that sneak into the house and...

    hey....please help me i need a fast response

    Aw, poor Ace had such a sad story to begin with, but I love your happy ending! Good job - it's wonderful that you rescued him and found him a home.

    What is the best type of clumping litter for allergic cats and humans

    It doesn't clump quite as hard as some other litters I've dealt with, but it controls odor amazingly, and it's natural and has no added scents, which were my priorities. It doesn't clump badly, though. Just not spectacularly. I don't flush it because my parents aren't okay with that, but I have...

    Cause of excessive eye discharge?

    Great, that's very helpful, thanks. If I asked my family to add the powder, they'd remind me all over again that THEIR cat does just fine with 9 Lives dry food and no supplements, then give me another lecture on responsible spending...   #needstomoveout
