She was eating Fancy Feast most of her life, in January we switched to Wellness and she ate that until she got tired of it about a month and a half ago. Now she eats Pro Plan and Fancy Feast gourmet flavors. The acne thing started about 2 1/2 weeks ago (at first she just had a small cyst on the...

"Acne gone wrong" is what my vet said to me this morning I took Coco in because she has these awful bleeding/oozing/swollen sores on the sides of her mouth and they won't go away (we were there 10 days ago for the same thing). Coco has never had any incidents of acne in her entire life (she's...

Do you by chance use plastic bowls? Coco had a swollen lower lip once, it was because of bacteria from plastic food bowls; I switched to ceramic and she was fine in a couple days.

Thanks for the replies everyone. The vet recommended that she be on canned only because of her kidneys, and said that her urine wasn't concentrated enough so she needed more water/moisture (she drinks & pees quite a bit, so I'm not entirely sure what they mean). I got a Drinkwell fountain about...

Hi all, about 3 weeks ago Coco had dentistry and 1 tooth extracted, for the first 3 days or so after that she was eating canned food just fine and actually ate more than usual. She seemed to be getting tired of Wellness so I tried a LOT of different brands with very little success. Last week she...

My 14 y/o cat has been a Fancy Feast addict her entire life up to this point...when I learned that FF was junk, I tried to switch her to Wellness. FF is still the only thing that she'll eat consistently, but I am able to give her Wellness a few times a week and she eats that, but when she gets...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. It's been kind of hit or miss lately...every new brand was a flop so I've just been mixing some FF with Wellness, but today I gave her Wellness Chicken & Lobster by itself, and that seems like a hit, she ate the whole portion almost all at once...but I'm sure...

I have a 14 y/o cat who has been eating wet and dry food her whole life until recently. Her last urinalysis showed the beginning stages of kidney disease so her vet is recommending wet food ONLY. We also have a 9 month old kitten who is part pig and will eat anything that Coco leaves in her bowl...

That little "pouch" in his belly is from being neutered, not because he's fat. Coco's "pouch" almost hits the floor now because she's old and gravity is not kind

Maine Coons are VERY large cats, my female (at her peak) was 15 pounds and males can get much larger, 18-22 pounds is the breed norm for them. P.S. we also have a 9 month old kitten who is happily eating adult food and still getting fat from it

In our recent rotation of "trying to find a food she will actually eat", I gave Coco a can of Friskies and that night we had a nice case of explosive diarrhea (contained in the litterbox thankfully). So...I'd blame it on the Friskies!

My 14 y/o cat just had a dentistry last week and they also did an x-ray and found LOADS of arthritis in her spine. I was worried about her being there all day and the anesthesia and I felt awful about leaving her, but she did great with everything and was back to normal in no time. The x-ray...

Hi everyone, Coco's vet just called with results of her urinalysis, she has no infection (good) but she is in the early stages of kidney disease (not so good). The vet's recommendation was to feed ONLY wet food from now on so she gets as much water as possible. She has been much better about...

Can you take a toy with you when you walk through the garage and distract him with it by dangling it and/or throwing it? Hopefully he would divert his attention from your legs to the toy, or maybe throw some treats so he goes after those instead of you.

I narrowed down the culprit to the pain meds; late last night she went to sleep and this morning she was totally normal. I gave her half a dose of Buprenex before breakfast and after she ate she had the "high" thing going on again. She just devoured her dinner with no problem (I think she set a...
