thanks for the responses - i'm going to check these out at the store tonight. i hope a more raw diet type food will help (he's actually already grain less now, but maybe another grain less food but also low carb food that's more raw like will help)

Thanks - are there other suggestions for the best dry food out there for cats besides EVO? I've looked at Orijen. Any others? I'm afraid I'm far more well versed in dog nutrition rather than cat nutrition.

I have a cat with eosinophilic ulcers and we've been working with his food. When we switched to Natural Balance Duck and Green Pea dry and Duck and Green Pea wet and Venison and Green Pea wet, his ulcers cleared up for almost a whole year. Now they're back with a vengence and prednisone is no...

This is somewhat of a unique situation but my cat drinks from the toilet and plays in it. I don't have the usual remedies of closing the door or toilet lid because it needs to stay open for him as he uses the toilet. The problem is that he will drink from the toilet when it's clean but ALSO...

My cat has a patch of acne on his face and it's spreading. He has had feline acne once before and me scrubbing off the blackheads with a towel plus some pyoben gel from the vet cleared it up. when he had it before, he got a little bald in the area where the acne was (one side of his face) but it...

maybe it's the mat! i hadn't thought of that, i'm good about cleaning his stainless steel bowls but hadn't thought of the mat underneath it. i only clean that when i clean the kitchen so i'll try to do that every day now. it's just so frustrating - i know it's not THAT bad for his health...

My poor kitten who we found on the streets around 3 months of age (now over a year old) has always had eosinophilic ulcers. so we've been trying prednisone which worked like magic at first, the ulcers went away within a day or two after he getting prednisone, and now i can't even tell if it's...

i have to disagree - lots of people out there in rescue organizations will take a kitten who needs surgery. many organizations will take her. if your ex is unwilling to take her to the vet, at least TRY to find someone or some organization who will take her. also just because you went to a bad...

from what i've read - wet is better health-wise for a cat. cats are carnivores unlike dogs and really shouldn't have carbs - which is what dry food is full of and it makes them fat. a lot of really obese cats lose weight very quickly when they go on an all wet diet. but while it's better for...

my bunny passed away only a month or so after i found my kitten so i'm not that knowledgeable but my kitten and bunny got along well (i think). you can see from the pictures below that it would start out with snuggling like this: snuggling but then quicky turn into this (my kitten loved to...

i agree that the color of the cat doesn't make a difference but my vet told me that generally speaking - domestic shorthairs gain usually a pound a month. so a 6 month old should be around 6lbs. of course, depending on what they have in them like if they have some manx or something, they'll be...

Hi, I read the sticky about how never to discipline your cat for acting out and to find issues for why they're acting out like medical issues or something you've changed but that doesn't help me because my issues are more like natural behaviors I'm trying to divert. My kitten isn't acting out...

you can totally tame the two kittens. my kitten came to me at a little older than 12 weeks actually. he's a bit different, he actually followed my boyfriend home - running after him meowing one night and came up to us to be petted and when i lured him inside without too much trouble (he was very...

eeks - milo's acne is getting worse and worse. his left upper lip is actually swollen so that it sticks out from his mouth, like a mini sneer are people acne products (like stridex wipes) safe to use on cats? I have a 2% salicylic acid gel i use on myself for the occasional breakout, would it...

i'm wondering the same thing although when i check to see if my kitten's chunky or not, i don't go by weight, i go by how he looks. cause your cat might just be a big boy and 9lbs is right for him but if you go off of weight, you might think he's overweight when he's not. Here's a helpful chart...
