My cats loved them too, but I've switched now to Kitty Yums by Blue Buffalo, and they haven't complained ;). I hear good things about Blue Buffalo, and would definitely recommend :)

How is she doing?

I'm sorry about the little one. How long has it been since your cat held down the last meal? A cat really shouldn't go more than 24 hours without food as this can cause liver problems. If it's been longer than that, and the cat is not eating or drinking, I would visit the vet. In some cases...

Yarn and string are really dangerous to cats and kittens, as they can often get caught in the intestines and cause bunching of the intestinal tract. The intestines fold in like an accordion around the string, and the more they tug on it, the more the string cuts into the intestines. This is...

It could also be a bacterial infection, as these often look like ear mites. Did you get the kitten from a shelter? Often, that's where they get these infections from. No big deal. Have the vet check it out, and he/she will prescribe the appropriate medication. You'll have to clean the ears out...

I would have her fast for a bit to get the GI tract to calm down, since she keeps responding badly to foods and the vet can't determine what is causing it

Hi all, Just back from the vet. She's feeling much better and is pretty much back to her normal self, with just some occasional rumbling in her belly. No more vomiting or lethargy. No bad smell from the rear end either. The doctor said it's probably nothing to worry about - maybe she licked...

It could have been a number of things.. she could have licked some shampoo or eaten something or it could be from her overeating the past few days. She's feeling a bit better now and is starting to become more playful - playing with her toys, walking around the room, climbing up onto me. I can...

Also, I should mention in the past two days she has (in my opinion) been really overeating, as we tried to switch from timed meals to free feeding. I know sometimes overeating can be a cause of these symptoms, but that was yesterday and her vomiting problems are happening today, when she hasn't...

Hi everyone, this just seems to be a horrible week for our family, as one problem after another keeps coming up (if you've read my post about my older cat's nervous breakdown).  As some of you know, I have a 3 month old kitten. She's usually very active and playful, but this morning I came into...

We had the kitten in the room, as I was holding him. My cat would come up onto the couch and someone else in the family would pet her. We thought this would help relieve the jealousy/anxiety issue...

Yes, I realize I must have rushed the process, contributing to her stress and anxiety. What should my next steps be? I'm keeping the kitten isolated again as I did in the beginning and will let her cool down and relax for a few days. Should I keep them separated for longer? Or should I do the...

Anyone else have any advice or opinions?
