    Fancy Feast Troubles

    I know your pain about expensive or ‘whole’ or grain free cat foods, my cats won’t touch them either :( I’ve spent more money than I can count on them. My girl, hungry as she is, will not even lick pure cat foods. My boy same way. I completely understand your thoughts on carbs and...

    DONE. Cat will not stop meowing at door.

    My first answer would be to get a second cat, but you already have three. I noticed you said cat has food and water. With my two cats, they are brother and sister siblings, I only feed wet food and I never leave dry food out. Routine is major key here. You need to establish when they sleep...

    White persian who hates to be bathed
