Hi! I have a kitty who was diagnosed with early CKD last year. She is 13 years old.She has dental extractions due to resorptive disease last December. Other than the dental situation and the early CKD, she is otherwise doing good health wise. She was picky about her food before surgery...

Hi! I have an issue with a cat who has itched and pulled his fur/overgroomed on both sides as well as his legs. He did this once before years ago, and we thought it was just stress, until I realized it started when I started feedking Lotus pate (various flavors, some with fish and all with...

I am trying to find a cat food my cat will eat that does not contain peas/legumes - or at least reduces them. She went off her other food which oddly had peas very high on the ingredients, and I think she did this due to that food causing digestive issues (suddenly developed extremely soft...

I am trying to find a pate food for my female kitty. At present, she is eating Ziwi Rabbit and Lamb, but I am having to push it through a sieve due to the sharp bone shards and her preference for smooth pate (with the bones, mashing it with a bit of water does not work). Other flavors of Ziwi...

I have three cats (siblings). They have been eating wet food only for 8 or more years now. They were kittens when their mom dropped them off at my back porch after weaning. They are now 12 years old. Feeding has changed as they have become seniors. One day, the female decided that the...

Hi all! I have three kitties, siblings who will be 12 this summer (2 boys and a girl). A few months ago, the female suddenly started rejecting the food they had been on for years (Lotus Just Juicy and Lotus Pate). They have not eaten dry food in like 10 years because one of the males has...

Hi there! Recently, all three sibling cats developed mushy, smelly stools and then two of them decided they no longer would eat the food I have fed for a couple of years. I was increasing the pate to try to combat constipation in one of the two males (Little One), and a couple of months after...

Everyone here has always been so nice, so I wanted to come to you with an issue. I have three cats--all now 8 years old--siblings. When Tigger was about 2 years old, he went through a bout of diarrhea suddenly that lasted months and resulted in weight loss. All three were eating Fancy Feast at...

Hi there, I was reading another thread, and someone there was referring to catfooddb.com and how certain foods have higher percentage of calories from fat that is ideal versus percentage of calories from protein. What is the ideal percentage of each? Also, is there a way to determine of...

Hi all, My three kitties have been on Lotus Just Juicy pretty exclusively since April or so of this year (all canned, no dry diet). This happened because one of my cats has digestive issues (bouts of diarrhea) and seems to react to all foods with the other gums, thickeners, etc. He actually did...

Hi all, I will try to keep this short, but I figured some background would help with any advise or comments. It will be longer than I want, since I am stressing. We have 4 cats. Three are siblings that I trapped as kittens when their mom weaned them and brought them to me (after I had fed her...

Hi all, Everyone here is so great to share their experiences.  On top of me being only 5 years or so into owning and caring for cats (3 siblings rescued from my yard when their mom dropped them off after weaning), we now have the new addition of my mom's 8-year-old male. I am concerned about...

Hi all, First of all, I know I have to take this cat to the vet, today if at all possible, which is making me have an anxiety attack, as we just took the cat we adopted from my mom to the vet for an ingrown dew claw to the tune of $168 last week. Thankfully, he is healing fine, with just a bad...

I have a cat that likes Nutro minced chicken in the gravy and does not like pate.  He does like Weruva with the shredded consistency and the fact that it has a gravy.  My other three cats like Nature's Variety Chicken, Beef, Duck, and the Limited Ingredient Turkey.  This other cat will not eat...

Hi all, I have an issue that is not going away, so I am going to those here who are experienced.  I adopted my mom's cat back in early November.  He is about 8 years old, according to the vet (Mom took him in when a family seemingly moved and left him behind).  I have 3 cats who were obviously...

Hi all, Let me start by describing my work situation.  I work from home, which many would say is a plus in feeding cats that get scheduled feeding.  Unfortunately, I have my own business, and my schedule can be crazy, including long hours with deadlines.  My own daily schedule varies every day...

Hi all, I adopted my mom's cat about a month ago.  After losing a cat to renal failure a few years ago, I immediately switched my other three cats to a primarily wet food diet (with just a few grain-free kibbles as treats).  The first thing I did with my mom's cat was start the transition to...

Hi all, I have read all of the articles and even watched a video by Jackson Galaxy on introducing new cats, but I keep hearing how it is easier with introducing a kitten into the house.  My mother recently has gotten older and is having memory issues, so we have adopted her adult male cat...

Hi all, I have not posted here in a while. Anyway, over about 5 months last year, I managed to get my 3 cats (siblings, 2 male and 2 female) to a mostly canned food diet and onto a better quality of wet. It took a while to slowly get them all to accept that they could live without Fancy Feast...

Hi!   I am looking for something without potatoes, easy on the tummy (kitty with loose stools), and no grain.  I feed all wet but just a few kibbles in a pinch when they act hungry and I don't have time to open a can or right before bed to tide them over until morning.  However, it seems this...
