Interesting! I will have to taste it. I use my 100 mg human prescription capsules (my new vet is a little uptight about that, our old vet was fine and our Parrot's vet was fine with it). I use wet food: Friskies - Sea Captain's delight (I blend it with extra water since 3 of the cats have...

We use 100 mg of gabapentin before vet visits with our 11.5 years old, 13 pound cat. They recommend 100 mg the night before and 100 mg morning of appointment. We also use it if she is having anxiety or as a pain medication. it is easy to mix with food, and she fights being dosed any other way...

We give one of our cats 100mg of gabapentin before any vet visits. She used to bite the heck out of the vet staff, now she is manageable. She is 13 pounds so your dose may vary. It mixes easily with food.

We have 3 of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TJVQVF6/?tag=thecatsite One for Lillianna, who stays in one part of the house, and 2 for the other 3 in the other part of the house. The 2 for the kids are set to dispense at the same time so Domino doesn't eat all the food. Sophia is...

3 of our 4 cats are overweight, Pippin is the right weight (and he was just diagnosed as a little hyper-thyroid). Their basic diet meets with the vet's approval. A big problem is the housemate that gives them food outside of their scheduled times. (The compulsive feeder is also overweight and...

So true, no millionaires at our house. I also see multiple stories of cats on all the expensive food still developing urinary issues. One of the cats we had growing up lived to 18 or 19 and all he ate was cheap kibble, and a small amount of the cheapest canned food.

I just ordered some Unscented Anti Icky Poo. We used to use Petzyme but they discontinued it. We have tried a Kids n Pets and Whisker City and they are not as effective and the perfume odor is almost as nasty as pee. The Petzyme had a very mild, vaguely citrus scent. I will let you know what...

Yes, food grade grease or oil. "Like dissolves like" is the chemistry rule of thumb. The residue will also not be nasty when she cleans the site. That said, our cats get my lipstick on them all the time and it wears off pretty quickly.

Thanks!! The comparison chart is awesome. It looks like there are plans that are affordable. I was worried that I would not be able to find one. After almost an hour live chatting with a 24Pet rep I cancelled my policies. They repeated the same thing over and over, insisting they didn't get...

Hey, I want to reopen this conversation. We have 4 cats on 24PetWatch. The oldest is Lillianna Underfoot at 5 years. They have all been on 24PetWatch since we got them. A couple of years ago we had an incident with Lilly and 24PetWatch was great. This year not so much. I tried to file a...

Does anyone else have input on Zylkene? I just picked Lillianna up from the vet. She needs to be sedated to give her vaccinations or examinations. The vet said they might start carrying Zylkene and it might be good for Lilly's anxiety in general. I figured I would ask. It looks pretty...

Does she have spots anywhere other than her head? I can't tell if the spots are solid or tabby. If they are tabby then I think she may be a DSH Tabby and White. If the spots are just on her head she may qualify as Van Patterned, but we would need someone more expert than me to confirm that...

On the far corner of the bar was a box holding sleeping kittens.

When I was a kid, my best friend's cat sucked on clothing when you held her. My friend named her Baby, and she sucked her whole life. Our boys Pip and Domino, started sucking on a specific blanket a little over a week after we got them. They were shelter kittens fostered by our friends. Their...
