    Looking for wet food with chunks or large shreds

    They are better about describing texture but photos would still be very helpful (like what does "light gravy" look live vs "sauce" or "gravy"). My mom's cat is so fussy and won't go near pate even if the photo appears to look more like ground meat. She is not a gravy lover, but sometimes will...

    Looking for wet food with chunks or large shreds

    Just came back to find this wonderful Flickr link I had lost. I would love to see this updated and would be happy to help photograph cans I buy.

    Rotating Canned With Raw?

    Can you give me an example of a good canned to mix with raw? We are just starting with a 4month old kitten who was raised on raw. Came to my mom from the breeder 1 week ago. We were given 1 pound of raw beef/chicken mix. She went off that in 2 days - wouldn't eat it. So I ran out to try...

    Almost 4mo Kitten On Clavamox

    My mom just a week ago got a new Bengal kitten. She's been on Clamavox since the breeder took her to be spayed. She was delivered a week ago with the remaining antibiotics, instructed to give 2ce a day. There are maybe 2-3 doses left in the bottle. I don't live with my mom, but have been...

    Bengals not eating? Advice, please?

    Both cats are nearly 14 years old; she's had them from kittens. I agree, and they both used to eat more dry but with fewer teeth I guess it is difficult. One does not eat dry. The vet just checked them out this past week and only noted a bladder infection in the female. The female is more...

    Bengals not eating? Advice, please?

    My mother has 2 incredibly finicky bengals ... They were raised on home-cooked FISH (at the breeder's recommendation), raw beef and dry food. She cooks (poaches) mahi-mahi and albacore tuna steaks for them. Sometime sushi grade ahi. They used to eat wahoo, but don't touch most other fish...

    My cat begs for food but doesn't like anything I give him

    @KathyV my mother has 2 incredibly finicky bengals and they  eat the canned (human) chicken, too! Cooked, fresh chicken is pretty much a no-go though. They were raised on home-cooked FISH (at the breeder's recommendation), raw beef and dry food. She cooks (poaches) mahi-mahi and albacore tuna...

    Bringing a "garage cat" to our 3rd floor apartment

    I am already living with this cat for over a week now - we found him in the garage of our building around Christmas. We had him neutered, flea'd, shots and continued caring for him for a few weeks outside. Meanwhile, I went to see an allergist who gave me instructions to get a saliva and...

    Bringing a "garage cat" to our 3rd floor apartment

    @khy-sa I completely understand and appreciate the encouragement. I'm so happy for you that you've beaten the allergies and I admit I have been debating the choice with great emotion. But I had 2 cats about 20 years ago and did the whole weekly shot thing, lived on an inhaler, etc. etc. but...

    Bringing a "garage cat" to our 3rd floor apartment

    Just realized I had not stopped by with an update - and I have been reading so many wonderful stories here for these past couple of weeks. We were still on the fence, caring for our kitty in the garage - until a neighbor complained that the cat hair on top of her car had left her unable to...

    Bringing a "garage cat" to our 3rd floor apartment

    Thank you, @StefanZ!  Are these prescription that I will need from the vet? Or can I purchase myself?

    Saying hello ...

    Thank you, Norachan! This kitty is so beautiful and so sweet ... we are crazy in love with him. Several neighbors have said they are interested, but we don't really know them. We so wanted it to be someone we could visit regularly. My husband has worked his butt off cleaning the place and...

    Bringing a "garage cat" to our 3rd floor apartment

    Thanks, @Ondine! We already took him to the vet the 2nd day, and had him neutered, chipped and etc. The only thing they couldn't check was fecal tests... so if we do get him in here, we can bring a stool sample over for testing.

    Saying hello ...

    Thank you all so much! Last night I was so excited to prepare to bring Tigger inside; this morning I am in fear (and tears) worrying because 20 years ago I had cats, and cat-induced asthma allergy ... and had to give them up after 3 years (despite allergy shots and inhalers, I ended up with a...

    Bringing a "garage cat" to our 3rd floor apartment

    We found this precious orange tabby in the garage of our condo building about a week or so ago. I happened to have cat food (purchased for my mother's cats) in my car, so we offered him some dinner - which he gobbled up immediately.  From our first meeting he was really sweet and incredibly...

    Saying hello ...

    Greetings! What a wonderful forum / site! I'm surprised I've not come across it sooner as I've spent many hours searching to help my mom out with some of her own cat issues. What brings me here today is a lovely year-old stray that we discovered in our building's garage about 10 days ago.  A...
