I have the same problem. I bought a pack of Merrick and Wellness Minced though I'm not sure Nigella will like either of them. I bought individual cans at PetCo but she's a fussy eater so even after a week or two of mixing them in with Friskies I wasn't sure if she favoured one or the other. I...

Ah, I understand. I figured there had to be some process to get the non-meaty chicken stuff into that shape. Tricky, tricky. Thank you!

Yeah, I saw in the ingredients list there was. I was just thinking how they managed to make the byproduct and all the other crap form into what looks like chicken pieces. I'll take a look at Tiki Cat. There seems to be a shop nearby that stock them, albeit a shop that I really detest because of...

I know Friskies wet food isn't nearly as good as other brands out there (or raw) but that's currently what Nigella is on until my shipment of Wellness and Merrick come in and I can begin mixing/switching her to better food. I also know that it's basically processed crap but I was wondering how...

I think I might suck it up and just buy individual cans for now. It's more expensive but that way, I can maybe switch brands/flavours if I find that she's not feeling a certain canned food. It's slightly frustrating and I don't have any strays around me that I know of (probably for the best, as...

So, I'm a college age student who doesn't make much. I definitely want to give Nigella the food she deserves and I'm sure I could swing the better quality food (buying health insurance is another ordeal in itself - I've been quoted around $50 a month which is ridiculous). My problem is: I tried...

My cat HATES being picked up or being in your lap. She will struggle and howl and bite and scratch. I have multiple scars from attempts at giving her medicine or cleaning her ears. I've basically given up. I take her to PetCo to get her claws trimmed whenever she needs them. I ask the vet to...

I used to give her the full can, but found that she didn't eat all of it and I found that by morning, it was dry and unappealing anyway. She does get some dry food which she eats nightly so I hope that makes up for her calorie deficiency. Dry food isn't her favourite but she does like a handful...

She really likes the chunks of the filet texture, I don't think she likes liquid-y stuff. It's worth a try, considering Friskies is so inexpensive. I've been a bad pet mom and gave up on the switch when I went on vacation and had my grandfather petsit because he's way too easygoing/bad at...

Thanks for the well wishes! I hope so as well. She's always been a really odd eater. It's also possible I'm remembering her as fatter than she actually was. I do love my cats fat...haha!

I wish she had antics! She's a lazy kitty and nothing interests her. I really think her years as an outdoor cat have made her cynical about the adventures indoor cat life can bring. I don't have the ability to make her an indoor/outdoor cat (we live on the second floor of an apartment complex)...

Hiya! So Nigella (my kitty) is currently lapping up her wet food as I speak. But it's 8pm, so this is normal for her. Any food consumption between 7am-7pm never goes on here. I'm not sure if it's because her internal clock is off (she sleeps all day and runs around at night, regardless of the...

She seems to have forgiven me as last night she jumped onto the bed for cuddles! I'm really happy. Unfortunately, I found a lot of mats (she's a long-haired kitty) on her chest. She never lets anyone brush her chest but holy moly these mats are hard as rocks! I scheduled an appointment at PetCo...

So my kitty is named Nigella (any UK people here will recognize where I got her name from). I adopted her February this year from a no-kill cat shelter which to be honest, was not the cleaniest of places. But nevertheless, the people there were really lovely and keep all cats that are...
