    Urinary Problems 1 Yr Female

    Dandelion is our female siamese mix who just turned 1 July 4.  I think the urinary issues may have begun about a week ago, but we wrote them off. She had urinated in a large plastic box near the litter box and this smelled very strong, but we didn't notice it immediately (my husband had thrown...

    Sheba Chicken?

    As I'd mentioned previously, I was trying Sheba on Dandy. I suspect this Walmart is closing it out because I only had the choice of 3 pates and one was fish.  She ate the chicken & liver but had soft stools; however she'd also had some Weruva. Today I tried the chicken and she did her "I don't...

    Best "Box Store" Dry Food?

    I know this is an odd question, but I was at  Walmart yesterday and a lady asked me what I fed my cat.  It was kind of obvious that she wasn't going to do NVI or go to Petco.  Apparently the cat had refused whatever wet food she'd tried.  I did say that they often liked the Chicken Fancy Feast...

    Fish Oil in Cat Food?

    Today I tried Sheba.  They only had 3 pates so I got Chicken & Liver and Chicken.  I tried the Chicken & Liver first and the jury's still out.  She ate it okay, but then she was doing the scratching thing around her bowl.  I got 2 cans of each.  Since this had one of ickiest textures, I was...

    Biting - Chomps on my Wrist

    Dandy, who is now 7 mos. old, has always been "mouthy."  I've gotten wary of her licking around my face because you never know when she's going to nip me on the chin.  Now when she starts that, I move her away.  I thought the biting was a little better but I'm about at my wit's end.  Last night...

    Suggestions for Addition to Food Rotation?

    This is a long shot, but this forum has been so helpful in feeding Dandy, our 7-mo. old kitten. It has been so strange - when a food doesn't sit well with her, she doesn't throw up or get diarrhea, she has just become very lethargic.  It went on for quite awhile and I think that is partly why...

    Fancy Feast Beef Flavors? Opinions?

    I'm hoping a local store will put Fancy Feast on sale this week. Previously they had a Friskies sale and then a FF sale and last week it was Friskies.  I've been feed Dandy some FF Classics but never any beef ones.  However, I recently gave her some beef in the Wellness and NVI lines and she...

    Buttons, our outdoor cat, gained weight

    My husband took the dog and Buttons, our outdoor cat for their vet visit last week.  Buttons is a long-haired calico and she will be 14 yrs. old at the end of April.  She had been 9 lbs. last April and she is 10.7 lbs. now.  She had been getting leftover wet food since we got Dandy last fall and...

    Natural Balance Venison & Green Pea Formula LID

    I recently ordered a  bunch of cat food and they had this on sale. Dandy had a can of their regular Beef & Pea (I think) and she ate it okay so I took a chance since venison tends to be so expensive.  Boy does this have a strange texture.  It has a lot of reviews, most of them positive but I...

    Had Vet Visit - Need Help with Kitten to Adult Dry Food (also canned update)

    I'd posted before about Dandy having so many days when she was really super lethargic.  She had a great day Monday, every thing you'd expect of a bratty 6-mo. old, but we went to the vet yesterday anyway.  We both came out hating the vet. Her general attitude was that "cats are just like that."...

    Lethargic Kitten - Is this her food?

    I posted before about Dandy, our 6-mo.-old kitten. She used to always be lively but the last couple of weeks or so she's had days where she's done little else but go out to her bed and lay there.  I had thought we were overfeeding her, also thought she might be having an issue with one of her...

    Accepting New Bed?

    At 6 mos. Dandelion was really too big for her little "donut" bed from Petco.  Fosters&Smith had a sale on a foam one with sides that's covered with a pile and I put her old bed in it. Last night I let her stay in the living room on the cat tree for the first time instead of shutting her in the...

    Food or Behavior? Turkey?

    I honestly didn't know where to ask this, but this cat's (kitten's) behavior is really driving me up the wall.  We thought we'd decided that the Weruva Chicken and the H&G Lamb, Chicken & Salmon didn't agree with her and I thought that was that. I should have kept a better record, but I thought...

    Canned "people" Chicken - Just Curious

    Every time I've opened an expensive can of Tiki Cat or Weruva Chicken, I've thought about the tins of chicken that are packed for humans.  I never bought any but I did price them and you can get them for $.98 (maybe even cheaper).  I know they don't have the cat vitamins and taurine, but I...

    Dirty Ears?

    I just noticed that Dandy has some ear wax or something in her ears.  I didn't know if I was supposed to be cleaning them, and when I did some research, I discovered that they can get yeast infections. Before we got her, the owner was treating them with drops for ear mites and when we took her...

    Beef, Duck, Rabbit, Venison?

    I'm going to try to get some different food for Dandy to try.  We've avoided most fish, had quite a few chicken-based kinds, and some turkey FF, plus the Lamb H&G mix. I never got any beef because it doesn't seem to be very popular but I'm not sure why.  I'm equally unsure as to why people pay...

    Biting when Hungry - Ideas?

    Dandy is 6 mos. and we've had some biting issues with her.  One thing in particular I've noticed is that she starts biting me when she gets hungry.  Needless to say, this is very unpleasant and I've become wary of her around my face because she'll nip me on the chin. Any suggestions on how we...

    Funny Litter Box Issue

    We think one of Miss Dandy's foods may be causing some issues. At 6 mos., she usually covers her "business" but lately she's made some fairly large stinky piles that she doesn't cover. The box is by the outside door and she had recently finished one when my husband came back in the house.  He...

    Opinions on Evo Canned

    I just realized that Dandy is nearly 6 mos. and I have yet to find her a food that she can eat as an adult and that she will eat.  I want a decent food but haven't won the lottery yet.  There isn't much to try at our Petco so I mostly have to try ordering a case and the outdoor cat and the dog...

    Food Problem - Potato Starch or What?

    Dandy, our almost 6-mos. kitten, just had 2 days where she didn't seem to feel well.  She spent a lot of the day  in her bed and didn't come to see us.  The litter box also stank to high heaven. We thought she might be sick but weren't sure if it was just a "phase" but she's back to normal...
