Hi everyone! So I just took my one cat (Vinny) to the vet for his annual visit. He’s a bit of a shorter cat and he tipped the scales at 15 lbs. His brother (Artie) is a bit taller than he is and he’s only 11.5 lbs. The vet said Artie is the perfect weight but Vinny needs to lose some weight...

Thank you! I have thought of feeding them in separate rooms but Artie such a "grazer" that I'd be afraid he'd be in one room for hours on end...LOL! I have picked up all the dry food so they will only get the wet food from now on. Artie has never been a big dry food eater because he had to...

Thank you everyone for your time! James&Taki, I love your profile picture. I want to hug that little guy :)

Thank you so much, that is actually very helpful. We humans go by calories so why shouldn't they? This is very, very helpful. I will definitely use this as a guide. I am so appreciate of all the responses!

Hi DreamerRose! Thank you so much for this. That is exactly how I was feeding them but I still left the dry food down. Then I cut it to splitting the 3 oz can at night. Well Vinny still gained almost 1 lbs in 2 months and Artie actually lost a little weight so I will go back to the 5.5 oz in...

Thank you so much everyone! I really appreciate all the input. MissClouseau, from the top Vinny looks like #9 and from the side he looks like #7 so I guess either way, he is definitely overweight. I primarily work from home and their food dishes and litter boxes are in my office so I can watch...

Hi everyone, I really hope someone can help me with how much my boys are eating. Artie is 2-1/2 years old and he is the black cat and Vinny is just over 1 year old and he is the gray cat. They get fed together every day. I leave dry food out for them all the time. The dry food is Instinct...

Hi everyone, I have my Vinny (5 months old) on 250 mg of L-lysine daily and it doesn’t seem to be doing much for him. Can I increase his dose to 250 mg in the AM and 250 mg in the PM? Also, I have read all the amazing things on here about Jarrow Lactoferrin. I am ordering that tonight. What is...

Hi everyone! Well I showed my vet the video and she said “that is what’s called a reverse sneeze” and I immediately felt better because she knew. Vinny does have an upper respiratory infection and he has an antibiotic that I have to give him for 14 days. She said not to worry about it, that...

I definitely will post an update as soon as we get home from the vet :)

Thank you! I will ask that too.

Thank you! I’m anxious to go tonight. I just want him better and not doing that. I honestly think it’s an URI because of the watery eye and sneezing prior to this and then him sneezing up that little present for me last night.

Awesome, thank you for watching and responding. Hopefully my vet knows what a reverse sneeze is. I’ve read on this site that quite a few vets don’t understand what it is. I will post an update tonight and let you know what she says. I pray it’s something that only needs an antibiotic because...

I think you should see it now... BC77CB85-6AB7-4840-BF22-71750287A5F5 by rfleming3719 posted Mar 21, 2019 at 11:06 AM

I followed the above steps and I think I uploaded the video but now how do I find it to show you?

He is going today at 5:00. I’m not waiting. I get way too worried about them to wait.

I have a video of it but my iPhone saved it as .mov and the site won’t let me upload it. If anyone can tell me how to upload it, I will so you can see what he’s doing

Hi everyone, I have a question. My kitten, Vinny, is 4 months old. We’ve had him now for about one month. Since day one he has had a clear watery right eye and he was sneezing. The vet said it’s nothing to worry about since it’s clear. The watery eye and sneezing got a lot better and only there...

Thanks everyone! One full day is all it took. After I finished working today, I came downstairs to eat my own dinner and when I went back up there, they are both eating with no issues. They know exactly where their food is. I tend to be a huge worrier when it comes to my little babies.

Hi everyone! I have another question for you all. Since I am now feeding two kitties instead of one, I moved the food dishes into my home office rather than the extra bathroom. Vinny (the kitten) doesn’t seem to care one bit because he’s still new to our house so he isn’t really completely used...
