Two weeks ago my male cat and I moved into a new apartment with my now roommate who has a male and female cat (bonded, but not siblings). The apartment was new to everyone. Unfortunately our plan on a slow introduction was thrown out when, by an act of fate, all 3 cats escaped the rooms they...

I was giving him Grizzly Salmon oil that I bought on Amazon which was rather pungent smelling. It was in the fridge and didn't expire for another 6 months, he is just picky with wet food. I can feed him the same dry every day and he doesn't care but if I try to feed the same wet food for the...

At my cats yearly wellness exam this weekend my vet suggested giving my cat a fish based food because the fatty acids will help with the dandruff he gets in the winter. The dandruff does not bother him, but last winter his fur got greasy and unhealthy looking despite a wet grain-free diet, daily...

Update on where I'm at right now. Due to my schedule, my apartment size, etc. it's not feasible for me to make my own raw so I have go with commercial, which is expensive so I need to stay on wet food to help cut down on cost a little. My original plan was 4 am 1/8 c. dry (TOTW right now, to...

About a month ago I noticed my black cats dandruff starting to increase. I went out and bought a humidifier that I run every night now. When his dandruff didn't seem to improve too much after a week I went out and bought a special dandruff shampoo. The process of using said shampoo was much more...

Thanks! I do try and keep up with calories I'm feeding him to try and stay about 200 calories a day (he's 10 lbs) so on days of lower calorie foods I try and give him some boiled chicken if I have some already cooked or another Tbsp or so of dry. For all the begging he does for my food...

I'm considering switching to raw but have been having a lot of trouble collecting the mass amount of information out there. I would like to, eventually, switch first to an commercially available raw diet (I have seen Bravo, RadCat and Nature's Variety in the stores around here) then to a...

Right now I split my feedings up as follows: 4 am 2 Tbsp dry, 8 am 2 Tbsp dry, 6 pm 1 can wet (approx. 3 oz. I switch brands so either a full 3 oz can or half of a 5.5 oz can). I live in a studio apartment and, although I really enjoyed being woken up around 4 am because my lovely 3 year-old was...

At the end of December I'll be bringing my cat home with me for my Christmas vacation (about 2.5 weeks). My apartment is on the smaller side so I decided it would be better to bring him home since he's social and doesn't get stressed easily, then to leave him here with a sitter I could really...

I'm trying to pick a new dry formula, right now it'll make up about 1/4 of his diet with grain-free wet the rest of the time (1.5 oz wet in morning, 1/8 c. dry during day, 3 oz wet at night). Right now I'm deciding between Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain, Wysong Epigen Chicken Formula, 4 Health...

Thanks for the advice! Up until now I've been giving him a little Fancy Feast in gravy every few nights that he's really enjoyed. He's gobbled up the higher quality grain free in gravy. I gave him a little Simply Nourish this morning which was just one solid food (pate I think it's called?) and...

I adopted my 2 year-old male about a month ago now. He was fed Purina One at the shelter and my vet had told me to keep him on 1/3 cup dry Purina One twice a day. Since he's gotten home his coat has gotten much more dull and he's continued to scoot (after deworming for tapeworms and anal...

I adopted my 2 year-old male cat, Chester, a month ago. From the first day he was scooting across the floor. No foul smell or poop trailing behind, just scooting. I brought him to the vet a week later for his wellness exam and she expressed his anal glands and was satisfied that was the issue...
