    Wet (Canned) Food questions

    The thing that I've consistently read is that the best food is the one your cat will eat. My cat can be a bit fussy so Fancy Feast Classics are in our rotation along with Fussie Cat, Weruva, Nature's Instinct. Even though I'd like to be exclusively wet, o sometimes have to sprinkle a little...

    Cat names

    I'm going to have to second Ash - you could even say his real name is Ashton or Ashley but Ash for short. He's super duper cute!

    Introducing Baby Autumn

    So cute! I love when they sleep with their arms up like that.

    Best way to get 1 1/2 pounds off my cat?

    Maybe try some of the Fancy Feast cans (the classics) sprinkled with a little Fortiflora? I know you said money is an issue but if he'll only eat a little - 1 can a day would probably cost you only ~60/70 cents a day.

    Transitioning from free feeding to scheduled meals

    She's gorgeous! Is there some reason you feel uncomfortable just leaving it out if the food is actually portioned? My cat eats ~8 oz of food daily spread over 3 meals but sometimes, depending on how into she is of what she's eating - it might take her as long as an hour to finish a meal.

    Feeding Correct Amounts

    I THINK they're out of kitten stage after a year. I think young is anything under 3 although I don't know what the experts would say :)

    Feeding Correct Amounts

    They estimated she's around 2 (they = rescue org) but I think she may be just shy of that - 18 months or so? She's only gained 1 lb in the 4 weeks she's been with me but I kind of chalked that up to relaxing (she was in a foster home with two dogs she hated), quality food and a schedule. She...

    Feeding Correct Amounts

    Yes, my cat is FULLY committed in her belief that if you are within 4 feet of the kitchen, you need to be opening a can. Some of this I think will go away (*crosses fingers) because she was being free fed in her foster home. Our vet says she looks great but be careful so of course I went into...

    Feeding Correct Amounts

    It's so daunting! You want to make sure you do the right thing and I swear I watch her health more than my own. LOL!  The 20 calories per lb makes me feel better, thanks!

    Which ingredients and/or manufacturers do you try to avoid when selecting a canned cat food?

    Hi, awesome that you're taking the time to research and investigate. I have been obsessively reading here and other places too and http://catinfo.org/?link=cannedfoods was SUPER helpful to me! For me, I tend not to feed much from the grocery store with the exception of Fancy Feast classics...

    I laughed so much because Boris looks like a Boris! They're both really beautiful!

    My new rescue!

    Shiro is also the name of a pretty popular Ethiopian dish that my husband (from there) loves - we went back and forth so much. She was here for a week before something stuck!

    My new rescue!

    I actually think you are correct and I should go back and edit that!!! And thank you, we think she's the prettiest girl ever.

    Feeding Correct Amounts

    I know there are several threads on this but I still remain a bit confused and I'm hoping you all can offer me a little insight. My baby girl (~2) weighes 8 . 2 lbs at her initial vet checkup last week. I'd asked the vet how much she should be eating and was kind of surprised when she told me...

    Wellness' Response to Carrageenan

    I think you just have to do what you feel is the best because so often things are anecdotal. Even in this thread - one person's cat vomited after eating food that had it in it, meanwhile - my cat seems unphased.

    12 weeks old and acting lethargic.

    So happy for your happy ending. Also, kudos to you for fighting for your cat's health!

    Hoping that you will be able to get this resolved soon. It's terrible to watch your pets suffer - sorry you had to endure that

    My new rescue!

    Hi, I'd like you guys to meet Shiro (pronounce sure-oh). She was a stray (I'd originally written feral but I think that was wrong!) cat from West Virginia and came to live with us about 3 weeks ago. They're estimating she's around 2 - she is super playful, VERY vocal (especially at meal time)...
