Thanks everyone!  I never thought of using one of those childproof locks.  We had a friend who suggested that we buy a new refrigerator that he can't get into, but we literally just bought this one only a year ago when we remodeled our kitchen, so that won't be happening anytime soon!  I don't...

For about the past few months, we've been having a problem with our 4-year-old Russian Blue, Eddie, opening our refrigerator door and getting food out.  We've tried putting heavy objects in front of the door, but he's managed to be able to somehow move them out of the way and get the door open...

He's not declawed, so that wouldn't be the issue.  He has also been neutered already.  They do feed him around the same times each day and they don't free feed unless they are going to be away from home for a significant amount of time, but that is very rare since both of my parents are retired...

Just an update:  My parents are still having litter box issues with Chance.  They have now had him for an entire month and he still won't use the litter box.  My parents have tried everything.  They bought a smaller box, tried a different brand of litter, constantly show him the box and...

Do you have a Tractor Supply anywhere near you?  We use their brand of food, 4Health, and we pay just over $20 for an 18-pound bag of food and the wet food is only 49 cents per can (large cans).  It has no corn, wheat, or soy in it and has very high quality ingredients.  It has lots of fruits...

Our cats used to eat Purina One and did so for many years without any real issues.  The only problem was that our oldest cat, who is now 10, would throw up...A LOT.  It was mostly undigested food.  We ended up switching to 4Health, which we found at Tractor Supply.  It has no corn, wheat, or soy...

Hi everyone, I am in search of some advice regarding my parents' new 13-week-old male orange tabby, Chance, who they just adopted a little over a week ago from the local humane society after losing their 17-year-old cat to cancer this summer.  Both myself as well as my parents have had cats our...

Thanks so much for the help! My boys didn't do too well on the Iams Multicat formula when I used to feed that. They seemed to throw up quite a bit on that food. I have had my 2 boys on the Good Life food for approximately 2 now years and they have done fine on it, but it just doesn't agree...

Thanks! I'll definitely have to checks those ones out! Is Purina One a decent quality food? I was actually looking at it at Target the other day. Should I also stay way from Iams products? I saw that they have a new digestive care formula out. I just don't know if I trust it.

I'm pretty much willing to spend whatever I have to as long as it is an excellent quality food. Of course, I don't want to spend $50 a bag, LOL. We buy the larger bags since we have 3 cats and want it to last at least a month, which we have been able to do with the Good Life food. We have...

That's what I was planning on doing. I have done this with my dogs before. I just have to find a better food to switch to.

Her stools are definitely soft and loose. They are also a little lighter in color.

Thanks....I'll have to see if I can figure out how to find Sharkey and send a PM to her....I am new to this site.....

Thanks for the replies! I really can't help but think that it's the food. I mean, she acts completely healthy otherwise and has gained a ton of weight since coming home with us. She acts like she's a kitten most of the time! It's almost time to buy cat food, so I will definitely get...

Back in November (the 17th to be exact), after our oldest cat passed away, we adopted a 1.5-year-old female Maine Coon mix from our local shelter. She is such a sweet cat and is VERY playful and affectionate. She is the first long-haired cat I have ever owned. She is also the first female cat...
