    Something's fishy

    You're right cats...sometimes it's hard to read things and not take it in the manner that it was intended. So if I jumped to any conclusions as well, I apologize. We're switching the dry food for now to california natural. It's made by the same people that make the innova that he was used to...

    Something's fishy

    I have also discussed this with my vet and he's fine for the time being with my bringing in another urine sample and having it tested. His pH level was at 7...optimum is 6.2 - 6.4. The vet said they've seen them much higher (8.6). The only reason I even took a sample in was because Tyler is...

    Something's fishy

    Can fishy foods raise the pH level of a cat's urine? My Tyler who just discovered he's a boy (thank goodness he's getting neutered next month) was excessively licking his boy business. I noticed it was raw. Called the vet. She suggested I bring in a urine sample. He had some crystals and a 7.0...

    Innova EVO and switching cat's food/variety

    Thanks everyone for your comments. I picked up some Merrick's wet, but there's one ingredient in there that I'm not 100% sure of — Ethylenediamine Dihydriodide — so I'll have to do some research on that. I think all the carbs in the chicken soup are making Zora even fatter...even though...

    Innova EVO and switching cat's food/variety

    Thanks, everyone for the advice. Of course, though, I have another question. I know some of you only feed canned and some only feed a raw. If you HAD to choose a kibble, what brand would you choose? Innova Regular (not the evo). Wellness. Eagle Pack. Natural Balance Nutro Felidae.

    Innova EVO and switching cat's food/variety

    I have two girls. 1 1/2 & 2. They've always eaten Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul dry food. It's getting harder and harder to find around here, so I stopped into a "Healthy" pet food store. The fellow seems to carry all premium brands. Unfortunately, he's phasing out the Chicken Soup. We...

    Thanks. I'll do that.

    chicken soup for the cat lover's soul

    Thanks all. I'm thinking it might have just been a bad/old bag. I picked up a new one today and the girls seemed to chow down. The little one didn't try to cover it up like it was something she found in her litter box. (which is what she was doing with the other bag). So, I'm hoping that was it...

    chicken soup for the cat lover's soul

    Sorry. I didn't explain myself correctly. My girls actually get the dry food. They didn't like the wet and neither did I. It just didn't look "healthy" or appetizing.

    chicken soup for the cat lover's soul

    Does any one know if the recipe for this has changed at all. I've been feeding my girls this since I got them (they're about 2 and 1 1/2 now). But lately, they both seem to be turning their noses up at it. Perhaps I just got a bad bag. I know with my Mr. Fuzzypants (RIP), he was eating Iams and...

    What are your cat's names, and how did you get the name?

    My first cat and the one that taught me everything good an wonderful about cats was named Ted. His nickname, however, was Mr. Fuzzypants. He got this because he had to have blood drawn and they needed to shave one of his paws. He was very embarrassed and always tried to cover it up, until I gave...

    Moving cats

    Thanks. My girls are young about 1 year and 1 1/2 years. They're crazy & hate being locked up in a room, so this will be very interesting. Especially since they were living with my husband and I in one room in a basement at my mom's when we got flooded out of our house last year during Ivan.

    Moving cats

    We just put a bid in on a house. Here's hoping it's accepted. Now...my main concern. Moving my girls. What's best. Moving them first with some of there things and keeping them in a safe place in the new house. Or keeping them in a room in the old house, then transporting them to the new house...

    cat furniture

    I actually had something custom built. A true kitty castle. I don't have it scanned it, or I could show it to you. It's huge. It was expensive, but well worth it. My girls love it. www.catteryworld.com I explained to him that I wanted a castle built and he did the coolest job. Two turrets and...

    Water

    Thanks all. We're hoping to buy a house, soon, so I'll look into a water purifier then. In the meantime, they've been drinking spring with no issues, so I guess I'll stick with that.

    Water

    My tap water sucks. It tastes like chlorine, smells like bleach and my cats previous and present hate it. So, I've given them bottled spring water. Now, I'm going to get one of those water dispensers with the 5 gallon jug and I have the option of going with purified or spring water. I just...

    Favorite Litter Box Type?

    After living with an arthritic cat for a number of years (RIP Mr. Fuzzypants), I use dog litter boxes, but fill them with cat litter. They are low, and wide, so my girls have lots of room to move around in them. I don't fill them extremely full, so there's not too much litter spraying. I have 3...

    Annual vet visit — Feliway

    So I have to take one of my angels, Rogue, to the vet on Friday. If I can catch her to get her in the carrier, that is. Poor thing is a little over a year and has been transported so many times (the first time to our house, then to the vet's to get spayed then home again, then to live with...

    Ugh. I hate summer.

    I've done some looking around, but with the ants, can't really tell where they're coming in. As for the attic, I've done some looking there, too. Problem is...we rent. We've been asking the landlord to check into this since last year and well...I think our best option may be to move...which...

    Flea Medicine

    Thanks everyone. Hubby picked up the Frontline from the vet this morning and we'll put it on tonight. The little one will be no problem. But the big one...yikes...this should be fun. LOL.
