Hey everyone, My 10 month old kitty Dexter stays chronically congestion (nasal/sinus) and I was wondering if maybe there is something I should be doing for him. I'm a first time cat owner and still really new to all this. Dexter's vet didn't seem too concerned since he isn't running a fever and...

I was doing a little research for Dexter, my 10 month old kitten who is a very picky eater and thought I would share what I found. I've been feeding Dexter Canidae because I was able to find it on Amazon.com very reasonably priced for the ingredients that it has. Unfortunately, Dexter isn't...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll try to go through and answer questions. Currently I'm feeding Dexter Canidae canned food  with some Fancy Feast canned mixed in for flavor. Dexter doesn't seem to like the taste of Canidae so I have to mix it for him or he'll taste it and then refuse to eat...

Hello everyone, My cat Dexter is about 10 months old now and he got a little bit chubby. I always heard everyone say that you shouldn't put a kitten on a diet so I just let it go and fed him as much as he wanted to eat. Now that he is moving out of the kitten phase I'm trying to put him on a...

My 3 month old kitten's undercoat seems to have changed recently. It is drier and dull or something. I'm not sure how exactly to describe it. I've read that a kitten's/cat's fur is a good indicator of overall health so I'm wondering if this means my kitten is not getting adequate nutrition or is...

So update on Dexter: I cleaned his litter box tonight (I clean it daily so I know how much he is peeing and pooping) and there was no poop... at all. I saw him go into the litter box a couple of times and try to do something but nothing happened. He was in his "pooping position" but I was...

My 3 month old kitten (approximately 4 pounds for size reference) has been acting very strangely all day. He is usually a little ball of non-stop kitten energy and today he has slept nearly the entire day. He also usually eats at least 1 5oz can of cat food and today he has licked some gravy off...

I sent my fiance to the store to pick up some groceries and ask him to get Dexter a couple of things of kitten food while he was out. I sat and went through what I had looked up, based largely off your input so thanks , and suggested some good foods for him to get kitty. He comes back with Meow...

Thanks for the info vball  I was looking up the Young Again food and it looks like you can only buy it on-line from their website? It was pretty expensive there but it seems they are claiming that cats eat less of it to be full/well nourished so in the end it is cheaper. Has anyone fed this...

I just took my kitten to the vet yesterday for an upper respiratory infection as he was all congested. His appetite was definitely affected by his inability to smell his food. The vet suggested feeding canned food as it has more of a smell and warming it up a little to increase the smell. I also...

I'm working on switching my new kitten over from the Purina dry kibble (for adult cats) they had him on at the shelter to a wet food that is either for all life stages or for kittens. I got him a dry kibble from Purina that is the same type he was on, only for kittens, to help him transition...

Kitty's favorite thing to do it lie in wait somewhere to pounce on you when you walk by or silently stalk you so I'm thinking Dexter is a good fit for him, name wise.

Hey everyone, I just got my first "real" pet ever Monday. I grew up having pet chickens but never any cats or dogs. I went into a shelter looking for a dog and somehow ended up in the cat room. I was drawn to a playful little tabby kitten but ended up leaving without him still thinking I'm...

Hey everyone, I just adopted a kitten Monday from a high kill shelter. The shelter said he is 4 months old but I had him neutered yesterday morning and the vet said 8 weeks. The shelter told me that he has had his distemper and rabies shots. I'm assuming that is the only vet care he has gotten...
