I have taken my 14 yr old cat to two vets. The last Vet I was more satisfied with as she ran more extensive blood work. He has lost a good deal of weight since Dec. I don't have scales so not sure how much but he looks like skin and bones. She said it is Stage 1 of Kidney Disease and failure. I...

My 17 yr old beloved Buddy has spiraled down fast in just really only a month with kidney disease. Probably in the next few days I will have to make the decision to have him put to sleep. I have tried everything to get him to eat and he is not eating but maybe a little baby food off of my...

My 17 yr old male cat gradually over the last week has gotten more constipated but the vet's said he didn't seem to have much in him. I think he just hasn't eaten much in the last few days to poop maybe and I have tried so many different types of food. The vet's gave him some IV fluids but I...

I need to change from using clumping litter. I saw my cat lick scoop in the box several times and then lick his paws. I was using several months ago pelletized Horse Bedding until my cat had to stay at the Vet's for several days. Once he used their clumping litter I had to change litters so I...

My male neutered cat is on a diet and he seems to stay very hungry. I sometimes weigh out his good but lately I have been estimating it. I know he is probably getting more than enough and slowly losing weight. He has started first nibbling at my leg when it's near time to eat and just now it was...

I know most people are going to say consult a Vet first. But I have noticed my 15 yr old cat doesn't seem to be sleeping enough and he has lost weight. He seems like he may be going to sleep now after I gave him 1/2 a Chlorotab but he knocked some things off a top shelf before he seemed to...

I have seen a few fleas on my indoor cats. It has been so many years since I have had to worry about this that I am not familiar with any of the products my vet's lists on their website. I have big problems in the past and I want to stop it now before it gets worse. Does anyone have any...

I know this is quite a debate. I have a 15 yr old male cat that has been underweight. He looks like he is putting on some weight but I have been feeding him more FF fish 'flavored' foods. He gobbles those up. What should I do at this point? I don't want to have him on an all fish diet. I also...

My 15 yr old male neutered cat has over the last probably about a year slowly been losing weight. His appetite is good and he eats about 2 cans of Fancy Feast a day. He doesn't seem sick and is real active. I would like to try something on my own before I spend money on the Vets. I am still...

My 10 year old male was severely overweight a year ago but has lost probably 6-8 lbs.It took longer because I didn't realize the dry food he was on was not the best for weight reduction. Now he is on all canned.  I don't  know what he weighs because I don't have scales.  I looked up exactly how...

About 2 mos ago my male cat Jack had a urinary blockage and was put on RC SO food. He is not eating as much as he should and I have tried several things like sprinkling various 'treats' on top and not much has helped. Recently I have started mixing a little Fancy Feast in with it. I get worried...

I am trying to learn as much as I can to give my 11 yr old cat at probably 18 lbs (at least) the right amount of food. I thought 3  3 oz cans would be the right amount but after looking up the calories of the Fancy Feast and the Friskies I am feeding him I need to cut back. I am mixing about...

This has escalated the past week to where my 7 yr old cat is several times a day bullying and picking a fight with my 11 year old male cat. I have 3 males. I know it can be a territorial problem and also because I am living in a small apartment but I have been here 2 years and why is it...

I have posted several times about my cat Jack's urinary problems and I feel he needs to stay on Royal Canin So at $1.88/can. As of now he is only eating about 1 can a day when I mix a little Fancy Feast in with it. So that alone comes to about $60/month. Depending on what price I can get the...

I have a neutered 7 yr old male cat that started being aggressive about 1 yr ago to my other 2 males, 11 and 15. I did move to a small apartment 2 years ago but he didn't start it then so I don't think that is related. Hard to tell. It doesn't happen every day. He will have spells for several...

I am trying my best to get my male cat to eat his Royal Canin Urinary canned food. He had a blockage about 2 weeks ago. I have tried sprinkling and mixing several things in his food. At best he will eat about 1 can a day which is not nearly enough. I read about these Salmon freeze dried treats...

Ok. This is getting really confusing. Although now I know the reason why one of my cats was having loose stools, not diarrhea. It would just get messy and he is overweight so I would have to clean his behind. Yuk As soon as I started him on all canned it cleared up. Now I have started back...

I know in the long run it would save on vet bills etc. But as I add it up for my 3 cats one on Royal Canin SO it is going to be at least $5/ day to feed them. That would be also alternating Fancy Feast in for my other two. I can add some Friskies in there which I don't think is as bad as the...

I was skimming  over the story of 'Mickey the 27 lb cat" and his weight lose journey. At 18 lbs she was alternating his calories between 165 and 180. I was upset last night because on another post someone had scared me about fatty liver disease because I was having trouble getting my 16 lb cat...

My 6 yr old male cat got out of the Vet a little over a week ago having had a blocked urinary tract. So he is now on Royal Canin urinary canned. Finally something he would eat.  He weighs 16 lbs and needs to lose several lbs and I assumed one can would be enough for him as that is about what he...
