After dealing with my massive loss, I wonder if it's ever too soon to begin a kidney-friendly diet. We feed BLUE standard food (not Wilderness or Basics) and have done so for the past 4 years (before that was Taste Of The Wild until our William got kidney stones). Their coats are lustrous and...
Thanks for the kind wishes everybody. I wish that she'd just go. I don't want to euthanize her. But the little tater just keeps hanging on. Unfortunately she can't walk or stand now, just folds like a house of cards. So I just hold her and take her where she wants to go. I know that's tough for...
My beautiful 16 yo calico Sadie, whom I've had for 12 wonderful years (since 2008) is nearing the end. We are a cat loving household with four adorable cats.
She had some hip wasting starting in 2018 but it wasn't anything alarming until about a year later when we began to see her drop weight...
Thanks for all of the responses! I will try the suggestions listed. He just curled up onto the recliner part of the couch now - he can be so affectionate sometimes! Key word being sometimes, lol!
Kamikaze (as we have named him, due to his insane energy and running into/over/under things) has been sort of a problem child since we got him 18 months ago. We bought him from an independent non-professional breeder but he isn't officially licensed. We got him at age 1 month. I'm guessing he...
Ok, so there hasn't been one iota of useful information on this thread so far pertaining to my main topic.
So, TO SOMEONE THAT CAN HELP - -
What the hell is this liquified cow dung?
2 of our 3 adult cats are very upset that we decided to bring a kitten into the family. Kitten (Benji) is roughly 8 weeks of age. They fight a lot and are hissing. When the kitten is not around they are fine but when he is in the room they hiss at each other. Sometimes the 2 adults fight with...
So, to make this a short story, we recently moved in to a house in a small town where some feral cats have been hanging out. Turns out a mother cat (affectionately named by us "mama cat") has had 2 batches of litters; one with two cats that are now around 8 months, no longer feeding; and the...
My dainty girl cat kneads me all the time and it doesn't bother me unless i'm laying down and she starts kneading my face.
Our persian male cat is a bigger cat with big, fat, meaty paws, and when he kneads, it HURTS! I can only take about 4 or 5 kneads before I push him off my lap, lol.
It...
She's such a weird, interesting, crazy cat. If we're watching a movie she really doesn't care, but once we turn on Animal Planet she parks her behind on the couch or on the floor and actually WATCHES tv. When a commercial comes on she does something else like groom herself or look somewhere else...
Well - I was officially informed today by my wife that Gabe actually does NOT like his Purina One food. He chokes it down but only because it's what available. So we picked up the orange bag of Iams and I managed to find some cheap Friskies Special Diet UTI formula wet food. I don't normally...
Not to thwart what you and several other people are saying, but we had our cats on an 80/20 wet/dry ratio for their food. We would feed them nothing but wet food 5 out of the 7 days of the week. He still developed a UTI. We have switched to entirely dry food and he is doing fine on the UTI dry...
