    Sheba cat food?

    Thanks catspaw There's no shipping for the cans, I'm getting them at the grocery store (Publix) and they definitely aren't expired (cans of coupons)... They are .50 each, but there are Buy One Get One Free Publix store coupons and Buy 3 Get 1 Free Manufacturer's coupons.  You can use them...

    Sheba cat food?

    Hey thanks for your help.  I calculated it and I can actually get them for .21c each if I buy 40 of them (with coupons from ebay - that's including the cost for the coupons themselves).  So, assuming she likes the ones I get for her to sample, I'll have them as part of my rotation for a while...

    Sheba cat food?

    Hi everyone... Next week at my grocery store I can get Sheba cat food - $2 for 6 of them with the sale price and coupons.  Great deal, right?  What do you guys think of these ingredients - grain free and no vegetables?!  Calculated carbs on Dry Matter Basis @ 6.82% Chicken, Chicken Broth, Meat...

    My little girl Layla

    Thanks maewkeaw. That's a good point about the eye medicine/discharge causing the discoloring... I didn't think of that!  I think that's very possible. Luckily I don't have to worry about bites... she's never tried to bite me, except during play fighting which is very much play.  She doesn't...

    Mellie presents vet with first case of dry eyes

    Bumping an old thread here. My kitty also has chronic dry eye (Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca) that she was born with (the shelter got a litter of kitties who all had it).  The shelter sent me home with artificial tears but her eyes soon got infected and now she is on 2% Cyclosporine drops, which...

    I'm poor, but want to feed my kitty right

    Thanks for the tips.  I don't think I'm going to go down the raw road for several reasons. She does drink a ton of water on top of the canned food, so I don't think she is ever dehydrated.  She drinks at least 3/4 a cup of water a day.  When I first got her I measured it to see.  That seems...

    I'm poor, but want to feed my kitty right

    She isn't crazy about leftovers either, but I may have to find some tricks to make her like them more.  I was reheating it in the microwave but just started trying warm water a few days ago and she seems to be going for that more. I just checked and can get the 13.2oz "Dog food" for 2.69 (5.5oz...

    I'm poor, but want to feed my kitty right

    By raw scraps you mean just meat from when I bake chicken or make steaks, etc?  Just raw chicken or beef? The grocery version of Fancy Feast... are they always the same exact thing?  I guess I should just look at the packages, but would they be made in the same plant? Thanks for your help.

    I'm poor, but want to feed my kitty right

    I'm poor.  I work for a grocery store.  However, I want my cat to eat right and feel very protective of her.  She also needs medicine that costs $60 every month and a half or so. I've been trying to make a plan where I can feed her well for a reasonable amount of money.  I'm trying to keep her...

    How much did you pay to adopt your cat?

    $25 for my special needs cat.  She was at a no-kill shelter and has a chronic eye condition, so they spent a lot of money on her over the two years she was there - various infections, de-worming, spay, microchip, vaccines and all the tests for FIV etc... also cut her nails and cleaned her ears...

    My little girl Layla

    I am very happy about her :)  We had some rough going at first figuring out how to clean her eyes and she was miserable (and so was I), but we got it sorted (between me taking my bed off the frame so she couldn't hide from me giving her drops and a $300 vet bill for tests!) and now she is a...
