Terra doesn’t demand to be fed early all the time, but my implied question was, “Am I being too much of a hard ass about this?”

I am a Mac gamer, and Terra will become EXTREMELY disruptive if her belly needs filling. I feed her 3 times a day (8 AM, 2 PM, and 8 PM). Is it important to keep her on a strict feeding schedule, or should I just give in and feed her early?

Quick update, Terra recently treated by a veterinary radiologist and peed on the chair one last time while her pee was radioactive, so we had to throw it away. She never peed outside the litter box again, so it’s very likely she waa trying to change how it smelled.

So I live in adult foster care and my roommate is my caregiver. He recently got a new chair to play his PS4 from, and Terra has taken to peeing on it, even if her litter is clean My roommate also has a rambunctious pit bull puppy whom she has learned to tolerate, but doesn’t really care for...

So I spoke with Terra’s vet and she agreed to the piking waa most likely due to an overproduction of stomach acid due to her hypothyroidism. She recommended that I spread her food intake out over 4 meals to start, and bup it up to 5 if that doesn’t fix it. Will keep you guys updated.

For the person who asked, ai feee Terra Smalls (children). Her vet can’t be certain without seeing her, but she might just be eating hrr food to quickly, which can cause an upset stomach. This would make sense since she has an overactive thyroid, but I shouldn’t leap to conclusions.

Terra the Cat was recently diagnosed with an ovrr active thyroid and she refuses to let me apply the medication she needs for it, so made an appointment with her vet to discuss other options. Terra HATES going to the vet, but it’s important that she be seen by him. Much like NPCs in Everquest...

Every now and then, she’ll havk up a hairball, but only rarely. Usually it’s liquid of some kind, usually white.

Terra pukes an average of 2 to 3 times a week, and ALWAYS on my bed. Sometimes, I can shew her on to the floor, but tonight She puked on my bed, on top side she sleeps on. Less than 30 seconds later, she puked right below my pillow without me knowing it, then I laid in it (Gross.) She has an...

Terra the Cat was diagnosed with a hyperactive thyroid earlier this year when her vet determined she was nearly 3 pounds underweight. Admittedly, she had recently come off a diet after my roommate noticed she seemed too skinny. Her vet also recommended that I switch her to wet food, and gave his...

Thank you all for the feedback! I’m nearly blinf so it will take me some time to reaf everything, but I wanted to address a few things: I don’t know her exact age since she was a stray I took in many years ago. Based on her dental department at the time I found her, she is most likely 12...

That could be a good idea. I never knew that Da Bird could be that versatile.

I've had the same interactive toy that Terra has played with her entire life, and she was OBSESSED with it. Now, she has lost interest. I used to think that not being as interested in physically active play waa just psrt of old age, but I just watched a video hrre that stressed the importance of...

Wow, so many responses! I’ll need time to read them all. Since someone asked, I feed Terra the Cat Smalls ground and smooth bird, and she LOOOOOOOVES it. I also give her crunchy treats because she loves crunchy food and her vet likes them because they keep her teeth clean. I DON’T have a...

This thread is NOT about the kind of drinking you do with your friends after work, but about how I can make Terra more enthusiastic about her water dish. According to her vet, all cats have a poor thirst reflex that gets worse with age. At her last checkup, her vet recommended I switch her to...
