There is a certain very specific B vitamin that helps cats with weak legs. It might be worth looking into if the problem returns.

This trick worked for me but I'm a night person so my schedule helped. Before going to bed (at 3am) I would give my cat a little extra attention and feed him. The attention was probably more effective than the food. It made him less needy of waking me prematurely for another fix. Another thing...

Agreed. Hartz makes horrible products. I once tried their flea treatment and it literally burned a patch on my cat's skin. And their hairball stuff is just as bad. A total waste of money. Sad that such a huge brand name is wasted on such crappy products. Revolution is great. Better than...

Sometimes cats get aggressive if they have a problem causing discomfort. Does your cat have any skin problems? They might be sensitive to being touched.

If it's not broke don't fix it. However if he seems just a little clogged (straining?) then you could buy some Miralax over-the-counter. Add just a little of one packet (half-a-teaspoon) to his water and mix well. He won't even notice it and it should soften things. Or try the canned pumpkin...

How old is your cat? Have you noticed to see if they're urinating anywhere outside the box? Temptations, like almost all dry treats, are mostly cheap grain, flavored with meat or fish. Cats are NOT designed to digest grain. Grains are high in carbs and produce excess sugar. Grainy dry food and...

Cats aren't designed by Mother Nature to eat grains. Corn turns to sugar carbs and is extremely bad for cats. I know, because I just lost my little pal to a very nasty case of diabetes. Had I known more about feline nutrition, I would never have spoiled him (in more ways than one!) by indulging...

Dry food is very frequently loaded with corn which means sugar and carbs. Wet food is usually meat or fish, which is what nature designed cats' digestive systems for. Beware of foods (like dry treats) that are labelled as "natural" or "healthy" but are loaded with sugar-producing grain (usually...

Just because a product says it is "natural" or "healthy" doesn't mean it is. Cats are meat eaters. That's by nature, not choice. Many dry foods are loaded with corn or other grains. They turn to sugar and will turn your cat into a diabetic unless you make sure they get plenty of real (wet food)...
