    wet vs dry vs packaged cat food

    I am sure this question has been asked before but I am having so much trouble feeding my cats the right amount of the "right food".  I have read the articles about raw and its virtues (the breeder recommends).  I have saved a copy of Lisa Pierson's info on cat nutrition.   I have looked for good...

    My 2 one year old cats have a definite preference for dry food. I was being conscientious - buying good quality wet and giving one feeding of Orjen. While in the vet with one cat, the vet said she could feel hard stool and advised me to give more fiber. She also commented that kitty's...

    Maximum number of cats

    I have 2 1 year old cats. One very calm and easy going (male) other kitty female who behaves like diva. She doesn't like him and will not play other than fight. Would another cat (kitten) help or hinder the situation?

    kitties fighting for top position

    I have 2 purebred Siberian 1 year old kittens/cats, male and female both neutered.  The female enjoyed being an only cat and resented the arrival of the male - she was 14 wks and he was 10.  It took quite a while for a truce.  There have been moments of calm with them but overall the female...

    lying across my neck

    I wonder how many owners have this experience:  when I brought my kittens home one was 14wks and then a month later the next kitten joined at 10wks.  They both would lie across my neck to seek comfort and to sleep.  Now at 8m and 6m they continue to do it.  The 6m kitten is now 12lbs and at that...

    cats with different appetites

Any thoughts on how to manage. -...
