Stop feeding the cat dry food. I just recently found out how bad dry food is for cats--it dehydrates them, and causes urinary and kidney problems. Most dry foods have too much carbohydrate and too little animal protein. Even the so-called prescription foods are bad for them; just read the labels...

No, no--I'm not feeding 8 cans of food to 2 cats--I have six cats, and 2 of them are small Persians. The rest are mixed breeds. So, I was worried they weren't getting enough food, since I stopped the dry because a few were throwing up, one has CKD and two have crystals in their urine. But I am...

Regarding venting about the hubby--in my personal experience, most of the men I know don't seem to be as sensitive to the needs of animals as women are, because of the fact that we are the child bearers, I guess, and always are more intuitive when caring for others. Men have their uses, (after...

Thanks for the two websites. It reconfirmed my understanding that dry food should be eliminated from all my cats' diets. We have to really get the word out to others that dry food, even dry prescription food, is dehydrating our kitties, causing kidney and urinary problems, and that wet food is...

Dear New Kitty Owner, I agree with GoHolistic; pet store owners and workers very rarely know what they are talking about when it comes to cats, because they don't realize how different cats are from dogs--they lump them together as if they are the same, and they are not at all. If you want to...
