    Black kitten with gray/white undercoat ?

    I have a smoke tabby, so she's got the black stripey pattern, but each strand of fur is white at the root and black at the tip. In light, it looks red/brown, not unlike my black hair in the sun. The rusty colour on his back might change as he ages too. "Kittens are born black, but often develop...

He has masses and fluid...

    Should I feed a cheap wet food and quality wet food mix or quality wet and quality dry mix?

    I don't have any issue mixing high and low quality foods to keep their palates and stomachs tolerant of various foods, whether I need to change things up for my budget, something gets recalled or discontinued, or if my cat ends up in the care of someone else who can't be as accommodating to my...

    Please suggest me which Friskies to buy

    Do you or a friend have a CostCo membership? Buying bulk packs of Friskies there at $26 per 48 can case is much more efficient (when I include the Ontario 13% sales tax, something like 9 cents an ounce) than buying individual cans or from pet stores, which tend closer to maybe 12-16 cents per...

    MAXX Litter discontinued in Canada. Need recommendation for replacement litter.

    Opened up the Fresh 4 Life Odor Destroyer and also got about the same level of dust. This is wasting a lot of time and money. :\ I haven't opened the Fresh 4 Life grass litter because I want that to be in a sealable container for sure while it's being stored in the garage. I can't imagine it...

    Hagen Zoe cat food

    Has anyone tried this brand before? I ran into WalMart today to grab some much needed antihistamines and of course found myself perusing the cat food for something new and/or on sale. This wasn't on sale, but I grabbed a box anyway. They're grain-free and are in pate form, but have some shreds...

    MAXX Litter discontinued in Canada. Need recommendation for replacement litter.

    I bought two bags of Fresh 4 Life Odor Destroyer and a small bag of Fresh 4 Life Eco Clump. If I can find bins to transfer them to this week, I'll let you know how dusty I find them. Unfortunately if I can't find any more bins, it might have to wait a few weeks until I empty out another Maxx...

    Water fountain for cat with CKD?

    I think water fountains can help entice cats just because it's moving and generates more interest than still water that, by animal logic, would suggest it could be stagnant. If you find the commercial fountains are too expensive, have you considered buying a pump and making your own? There are...

    MAXX Litter discontinued in Canada. Need recommendation for replacement litter.

    Sorry for the double post, but I just dumped and cleaned the cat box and am transitioning to add Precious Cat to Kismet's box. Maybe I just got a bad batch, but that's bad news when a batch is 40lbs. I found it to be 75% as dusty as a cheap Canadian Tire litter, Purrfect Start ($8.99/40lb) or...

    MAXX Litter discontinued in Canada. Need recommendation for replacement litter.

    Ooh, I'm gonna watch this thread. I've been looking for something low dust and clumping too. Like mingking, a lot of people recommend Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat litter, which is a smidgen cheaper on Amazon than at Petsmart. I bought a bag but still have other litter to go through before I open the...

    Inexpensive good wet and dry cat foods found at the grocery store

    I think Petsmart and checking flyers may be your best bet - I don't have a PetCo so I can't vouch for their prices or selection. I really like the Grreat Choice pates from Petsmart, and they're grain-free with the exception of the salmon flavour. They're 65 cents per 5.5oz can (cheaper than...

    Switching to all wet diet - how to budget in Canada?

    Global Pets is quite expensive. I haven't seen a wet food from the Kirkland/CostCo brand; however, I've had luck getting 48 packs of 5.5oz cans of Friskies at CostCo for about $25, but I also get Pet Valu's store brands - they have one called Health Diet ($0.67 per 5.5oz can or $1.39 per 13oz...
