Pita is a 10 year old neutered male. He's not a vocal type of cat and was never annoyingly vocal until we started keeping him inside full time a few months back. He was indoor/outdoor, but our neighbors started feeding him and that made me uncomfortable (he's on special food for urinary tract...

He eats dry food, Purina One Special Care for Urinary Tract Health Formula. My hubby is encouraging me to take him in to the vet as well, so looks like Pita is gonna be going on a vet trip!

My cat Pita has been throwing up a lot lately, probably once every 2 to 3 days, a short time after eating. He's been throwing up his food now and then for about a year, but never with so much frequency. It's food and liquid, no hair. We feed him a small bit multiple times a day throughout the...

Thanks so much for the reply, Ondine! Ok, yeah that makes sense about the germs. I'll have to ask the humane society about whether the animals have to be seperated the whole time or not. The website doesn't say! Why do you prefer fostering on your own? I was originally planning on doing that...

Hi all. I am the owner of one nuetered male, 8 year old, indoor/outdoor kitty, as well as 2 dogs. All my animals are kept up-to-date on shots, and all are fixed and microchipped. I try to be a very responsible pet owner. I am also a homeowner, and have been looking for a way to help my...

Thanks Laureen! I'll check both of those out

I was aware Special Kitty is a cheaper brand, but that worked for us since we do not have an unlimited income. I know it's not the best health-wise. But it could be time for a change. Can anyone recomend a healthier food, that won't break the bank? We're definitely going to try elevating his...

Yes, its dry food. He eats Special Kitty cat food, the gourmet blend, he's been on it his whole life. This throwing up thing started a few months ago, and has been slowly getting more frequent, little by little.

My cat eats really fast then sometimes throws up a little when he's done. He gets fed twice a day, and throws up probably every other day. I have tried giving him less food, but he still throws up. Maybe I should give him a tiny little bit at a time? What should I do?

Pita - Pain In The A$$, because when he was a kitten, thats what he was

Thanks everyone for your replies Its looking like we may want to get an adult cat. Kittens are SO cute and soft, but if an adult is going to work better for our situation, then that's what we'll do. Our cat grew up with an older female cat, and he enjoyed having her around, enjoyed being the...

Hubby and I are thinking about adding another cat to our brood this spring. We have a 6 1/2 year old neutered male cat and a large half-grown puppy who is very respectful of the cat. Its been a long time since my cat was a kitten and my mom did a lot of raising him, so I don't remember much...

Yeah, they gave me clavamox. I'll try to get him to drink more. Thanks everyone for your support and suggestions. You've all been really helpful and informative!

*update* The vet was able to get him in right away, I had never taken Pita to this vet because we just moved to a new town, but I was very happy they got him in so quickly. He tested his urine and told us he had a UTI, just like a lot of you said. I asked him about the food, he said the food...

If I may ask, why is it better? I have been told that dry food is much better on your pet's teeth, but I don't know much about how the two differ nutritionally.
