... Mocca & Cinno?

Someone here told me it was a good idea to read the labels, so the next time I went to the pet store, I did But I'm not a pro I just looked out for animal/vegetable by-products, grain/soy and percentage of actual meat. Most brands seem to have soy and some by-products...

That would be me. But do note, that I was not making any claims, this was simply what my vet told me! (I think she meant that the different compositions of the different types of foods could have that effect and create UTI's/crystals/etc.) In regard to this wet/dry food issue, I have spoken...

Of course, I will be the one who will be feeding the cat, so I will be the one who ends up making the decision. It's not like my vet will be checking up on me and stalking me around! But I want to be well-informed about this and feel like it's important to at least consider her advice, since...

Thanks for the links, I have read the article, but I doubt it would convince my vet. Maybe if I got another vet and if they could discuss it, and even then, well, people will disagree sometimes! She did listen to my questions and she answered them, as I have already posted her answer on this...

Jcat, that might be the case, but another vet who just graduated a couple of years ago advised dry food only too, so maybe it isn't only about the vet's ages but what they're being taught at vet school. I found a lot of the premium canned food brands (mentioned by this forum's posters) at the...

I asked her specifically about the dry vs wet issue and urinary tract/water intake problems and was told that it was simply not true and that mixing dry food and wet food would cause undesirable changes in the cat's urine pH. Another vet said the same thing before... Personally, this seems a...

I had posted a similar question before, but after my kitten's first trip to the vet for her shots, the vet has told me NOT to give her any wet food and under no circumstances feed her both dry and wet food. Just when I had gained some peace of mind about food quality/etc.! I will follow the...

Mm, ping-pong balls would probably be nice! But i don't think the neighbour downstairs would appreciate the noise as much as the cat! I've been trying the bags and boxes, she likes them very much as hiding places. Maybe I'll try the bubbles next (you mean soap bubbles, right? Or bubblewrap...

Maybe you inadvertedly squeezed his bladder

I think all pets do this, dogs, cats and even birds! Sometimes they're just interested in what you're eating, sometimes they'll try to have a little lick from your plate My kitten tries to do this too, she'll jump on the dinner table, so I just shush her and if she won't jump down, I tap on...

"Someday, maybe Fred will win the fight And the cat will stay out for the night" "WIIIIIILLLLMAAAAA!!!!" Sorry, that picture just popped into my head Don't people "put the cat out" anymore? Dell1234's post isn't completely "out there", many people still let their cats roam free or actually...

Thanks for all the great ideas! I've tried the toilet paper rolls, but she seems to lose interest in those pretty quickly (I'm guessing because she can't pick them up with her mouth and carry them away). She had more fun shredding the toilet paper The pom poms made of yarn, that's a cool idea...

Oooh, a ball of yarn! It hadn't even occured to me to try a ball of yarn! I can already picture yarn tangled all over the furniture Skizzorhand, I tried stuffing a sock, but the cat's reaction was mixed... She'd assault the sock and chew it for a while (exactly like you described), then...

if you don't have a lot of space for the litter box, maybe something like this would help? (corner litter box) http://www.esmartcat.com/shopping/litterbox.php
