I hve just read your excellent article on FLUTD. It seems to me dry food has a lot to answer for. God programmed the cat to get 85% opf its moisture requirements from prey - how can we expect Him to re-programme the cat because some of us choose to feed only dry food? I have just come from a...

Thanks for your comment and the terrific pics

I use Felex Worm Paste for Felines. I wormed them every three months when they were kittens but now look for evidence of worms/parasites in the faeces and have not bothered. A lot of folk are concerned about parasites but I believe that a cat fed an appropriate diet for an obligate carnivore...

My previous two cats loved to tear tough cardboad boxes into tine pieces - small enough to vacuum. They were both on dry food. They both had to have their teeth cleaned and a couple extracted! patcatpet

After losing a cat to liver cancer and another, to the complications of diabetes and CRF I did a heap of research before getting my new kittens. Never again would I feed dry food - one manufacturer admits it can cause FLUTD! I know it causes obesity (high carbohydrate content) and therefore...

A friend recently went to a seminar on dental health for cats. Each attendee was given a biscuit to eat. Then asked if their teeth felt clean. Everyone said "NO". The vet said now you know why dry food does not help - cats cannot chew like you do, the food gets caught between the teeth and...

Go to the site and ask them how many calories per can - Wellness www.oldmotherhubbard.com - you could do the same with Petguard, Felidae, Eaglepack, Innova, etc. Nutritious high protein low carb foods are much more satisfying so your pet should eat less. Feed no more than 20 calories per...

Lucia, When Tito was alive I visited Yugoslavia - I think Plytvitce (Sp??)[Croatia in the mountains] and the Dalmation Coast are two of the most beautiful places in the world! patcatpet

I'm doing some research on the Ph level in supermaket canned food manufactured in Australia and happened to notice (it was either Hills or Purina Dry - carried the warning - "do not feed this food to a caat with FLUTD" good warning but needed more explanation - like symptoms of FLUTD and why...

Well, my cats and I eat only free range chicken or organic lamb and beef. I don't eat the beef because of the high amount of trans fatty acids which are bad for humans. I add organic bran, balance the Ph with Ca and add a complete multi-vitamin,mineral and amino acid supplement. I use only...

My two get a free range chicken neck each three or four times a week. Teeth are perfect! patcatpet
