Well we went to PetSmart tonight to read some labels and came home with a couple cans of By Nature 95% Meat. It has no corn, wheat, or soy, so I'm hoping this will help if she does have some kind of an intolerance. Tonight we mixed a little bit of it in with their evening meal and so far, so...

Yep, we already do (well not a phone book but a box that's about that height).

Thanks for the replies! She throws up within 5 minutes of eating, so everything comes back up exactly as it went down; so much so that our other kitty will eat it all if we don't stop her. We don't really "mix" the wet and dry per se, usually only sprinkle maybe 5-10 pieces of dry on the top of...

My 3 year old tabby frequently vomits after eating her canned food. Sometimes it will just be once, but often she will continue to vomit until her stomach has emptied. She only throws up after eating canned food, never after dry or any other time throughout the day. We've talked to the vet about...

So it took a few months, but our 2 year old and 6 month old females are now best buddies (yay!!). Today we took the kitten to the vet to get spayed. She was gone for about 10 hours, and of course came home with all sorts of strange smells. We were expecting some hissing initially from the cat...

Our 4 month old kitten seems to be having trouble leaving her poo in the litter box. She never had a problem before, but now 3 times in the last couple of weeks she's brought it out with her, and either it winds up on the floor or just stays in her fur and she drags her butt around to get it...

Our 4 month old kitten is obsessed with chewing on cables. We hide them as much as we can, but both my husband and I are IT professionals and we just have a lot of cables. We generally don't let her around cables unsupervised, but if she's in the room while we're working she'll start messing...

Just an update...I went home over my lunch break to check on her and she seems to be doing better. Still a little sluggish but she ate some food and a treat and was very affectionate.

Unfortunately I have to work today so I won't be able to check in on her again until around 3:30. I was able to get her to eat a little bit of canned food off my pinky before I left, so that was encouraging. She's 3.5 months old and has had regular boosters, but this was the first rabies shot...

I know I'm an overly paranoid kitty mom, but I would love it if somebody could just reassure me that it is normal for my kitten to be extremely lethargic and not eating the morning after getting rabies and FVRCPC vaccinations. She got the shot about 5:30 last night, came home and ate a full...

Thanks for the replies...does anyone have a good/effective way to clip her nails? With our older cat we just wait until she's relaxed and clip them wherever she's laying down, but the kitten won't tolerate it, so I'm not even sure how to hold her still. We've had her for over a month and I think...

My 3.5 month old kitten has decided it's fun to take flying leaps onto my torso when I'm looking the other way, and sink her claws in so she can climb up on my head. I'm never expecting it and it hurts like crazy! Whenever she does it I'll yell out in pain which freaks her out and she runs off...

Thanks so much for all the comments, it really helps to hear this!! This video is pretty tame compared to a lot of their little wrestling matches, but it's very good to hear that this is playing. We're trying to let them go longer now, although when it gets too loud I'll usually break it up -...

I've had an only cat for a year and a half, and adopted another kitty about a month ago. We'd kept them separated until recently, and now the new kitty has free run of the house while we're at home. So now I'm suddenly faced with the dilemma of how to stop them from eating each others' food...

I have a video of my cats having a little mini-fight, and I'd appreciate anyone who is willing to look and give some advice. These two have known each other for about 6 weeks, and they are most definitely NOT friends yet. The older cat (2yrs) is finally at a point of tolerating the kitten, and...
