    Iams Kitten vs CA Naturals Chkn/Rice

    We've done the fecal. The vet said that sometimes worms don't show up, so they gave me three doses of wormer. Both kittens were wormed previously and are neutered and UTD on vax.

    Iams Kitten vs CA Naturals Chkn/Rice

    I've been feeding CA Naturals dry since 12-17ish, and we have had continued diarrhea. It's not as bad as it was, but it's still there. We did worm both kittens (again), and it is still going on. I've started giving them 1 can of Iams Kitten wet food in the evenings, and strangely enough, their...

    He doesn't seem normal.

    I don't know. I got him from a rescue, who got him from an overflowing pound. I asked his foster mom, but she had no idea. I got him from her when he was 15 weeks, and she'd only had him for a couple of weeks then. I just saw him cleaning his own bottom for the first time today, so maybe he's...

    Diarrhea+Wood floor=URG!!! :(

    I have Nature's Miracle, but I can't pour it all over and let it soak in. It would ruin the flooring. He has had diarrhea in the same spot 2x now. How do I get it clean?? I am calling the vet tomorrow. They can not live in the bathroom indefinitely. They've had diarrhea for 2 weeks at least.

    He doesn't seem normal.

    Our five month old kitten, Edward, seems odd. Ever since we got him a few weeks ago, he's not seemed like other cats. He is not at all graceful, for one. If pushed off the kitchen table, he will seldom land on his feet. He falls off his cat tree condo. He kicks litter out of his litterbox upon...

    Which food?

    He was fully vetted by the rescue before I got him, several weeks ago. Malcolm (dmh 4 months) had diarrhea on Katz n Flocken but Edward was fine. Now it is reversed.

    Which food?

    So we've been on CA Natural for a couple of weeks or so (after gradually switching over), and Edward (dsh 6 months) has had horrible diarrhea since. I'm talking about flicked on the wall around the catbox bad. How long should this last? Should I change their food again?

    Which food?

    Thanks so much. I bought some CA Natural, so we'll see how that goes.

    Which food?

    I currently have our two kittens on Solid Gold Katz N Flocken (I'm sure I spelled that wrong). They've been on it for a couple of weeks (prior to that I was transitioning them from another food). They both still have diarrhea, and I am wondering if a different food would be better. Is Solid Gold...

    Anyone love a certain (cat) color?

    I love white, odd-eyed cats. I've never owned one, but they are beautiful.

    Sick? Mad??

    Backstory: Malcolm is about 11 weeks old. I feed him dry kibble (I'm reading up on wet/raw feeding now). I offered him wet food and he loved it. However, diarrhea ensued. It even looked a tad reddish. I called the vet, who said to withhold food for 24 hours and not feed wet food again until he...

    Intro: Malcolm and Edward

    Hi! I'm Holly, mama to 2 boys and two kittens aged ~11 weeks (Malcolm) and ~4 months (Edward). Malcolm is an orange and white DMH with some tabby-like striping. Edward is a buff and white DSH, also with some striping on his tail. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and learning a lot!

    The TRUTH about how often people clean the box

    I have been doing it every night. I bought one of those sifting/grated boxes, but it's a mess to clean. Litter everywhere when I'm lifting the grate and pouring the litter back in. Plus it's small, so I can't see it working well for long. I dump the litter into a plastic bag, tie it off and...
