    At what point should I worry?

    I didn't suspect she was ill. O_o Anyway, I took Pico to the microchip clinic today. They're a vet hospital and a shelter in one. The people there said that they feed their cats about 1/2 cup a day. Pico is eating about 1/4 - 1/2 cup a day so even though she's eating less, it's still in the...

    At what point should I worry?

    Unfortunately, I wasn't just referring to my thread, after reading most posts and seeing "go to the vet" about 100 times, it loses the effect and people are left to wonder when would it be an appropriate time to actually take your cat to the vet verses running to the vet everytime there's a...

    At what point should I worry?

    I was/am experiencing the same thing with my cat, Pico. She's 7 years. She was on a raw diet. Now the only thing she will really eat is dry food. @__@ Still trying to get her to up her intake but I monitor her to make sure she's eating. If not, I syringe it to her. She's not fully back to...

    tricks for picky eaters?

    Do the warming thing, also you can try giving your cat a treat, and then drop the second one into the wet food. (add a little water to soften it). If he's just not willing to taste it, wipe some on his leg. He'll lick it clean and then he can't say he didn't try it. XD

    mum cat not eating

    I'm going to play the devil's advocate and say it's your choice. However, you need to understand the RISK you are taking and the risk you are putting kittens in with not spaying momma cat and breeding further. Do take what everyone said here and think long about it. They all bring up valid...

    Diet Coke with Lime!

    Pico likes whipped cream and ice cream. Only a lick or two is all I give her. Harley ... will probably eat anything. I wouldn't put it past him. <_<

    at a loss for my aunt and her 20 cats

    If they are all used to independent living, I would ensure that the ones that your aunt cares for are neutered/spayed. Then perhaps talk to other neighbours that might be able to keep their eye on the kitties. As someone mentioned, adopt out the friendly ones, and let the others be. As long...

    Best litter for odor control with multiple cats?

    For me the best long term solution was to change the cats' diet. Switched to raw, AMAZING results. Not only does the poop smell a LOT less, you can't really smell it unless you're close, but there is generally a LOT less in terms of volume too!!

    Biggest Hybrid/Exotic?

    Not getting one, just curious what the biggest breed of domestic cat is (including ones bred with wildcats etc). I think they're called hybrids right?

    treat ball

    I've always wondered about those things. So it's not like... a steady stream of treats flying out of the ball right? Lol one at a time and it's tricky? (I hope). I just don't want to find random rotting treats in the corners of the house lol

    Cat not eating

    How's your cat? What did the vet say? She's alright. I gave her dry for two days, gave her wet for the past two days, she's eating it. I actually took the wet food, wiped it on her fur and she licked it of and went to eat out of the bowl!! I put some raw into her wet today, she's still...
