I've just heard of people using it for constipation because of the slippery elm and psyllium. He also happens to have hairballs but our concern is that the backup is made worse by hairdballs. But constipation is our main concern, though he drinks enough water as is and it is a challenge to get...

I have heard that many people here and elsewhere benefit from the psyllium and slippery elm to help with their cats' constipation. But this question applies even if you just use it for hairballs. It is a digestive aid after all. The question is.. everyone seems to talk about how well their cat...

We have one cat (Cat A) that absolutely can not seem to stop himself from the smelling the other cat's (Cat B) butt. Now as funny as this may seem on the surface, what it means is that Cat B lives in a constant state of anxiety when the two are in the same room. Cat A is undeterrable. He creeps...

For two nights we've put up our fence again in a neutral place. It allows both cats access to essentially a half of the apartment each. And luckily, at least for now, it happens to be the half each one likes. There have been no fights naturally, and waking up to feed hasn't needed to happen...

Thanks again for all the advice. We've been continuiong forward with this trying to resolve the issue. There are periods when this isn't an issue, but it's gotten to the point where every single morning, around 7, the one cat just insists on stalking the other. And it's not play. It's not flat...

Perhaps, but I read that cats shouldn't have the human kind because it can contain ingredients that are harmful to them.

We used to give a cat of ours glucosamine and chondroitin in a pill called Cosequin. This was about 15 years ago. She was 18 and it completely helped with her ability to get around and her kneecap dysplasia. We think it would help our current cat with joint issues just to help with movement and...

Since their introduction, which involved separation via a closed door and then gradually a see through screen/fence that was placed at the door of the new cat's room and then moved to different parts of the apartment as his desire to explore grew, any attempt to sort of keep them separate only...

Just wanted to update quickly here... A cycled routine of 5 foods has calmed Cat A's disinterest in food. Also, we had a random idea of just placing dry food next to him which started something we couldn't have predicted which is that he goes back and forth from wet to dry the entire time he...

Thank you all for your comments... So, a few comments: Ours does the plastic thing too. And licking shoe laces. I have to think that it's hunger because I don't believe we have any evidence of food anxiety. Unless of course I'm not understanding the idea of food anxiety. He's not worried there...

We have two cats and when Cat A gets hungry, he will find if he cant wake us up that he will just go over to Cat B and start slowly stlking and creepily approach him, charge him a bit and try to nip at him. We have never responded to this in a way that would have taight him that it gets our...

Sorry, let me be more precise... What I'm saying is we got sick of taking one capsule of S. Boulardii (a ground suger type texture, not a powder but more like Splenda) and trying to split it into 4 just by tipping back and forth into empty capsules. So we got these tools. The problem is you want...

Question for those of you using things like s. boulardii and making your own capsules... We got a kit with several tools/spoons that help fill capsules easily instead of aiming just with your hands. We don't need to pill our cat, but we sprinkle the small amount we use into his food at an...

Thank you both for your replies. Any feedback we get at all makes my wife and I feel a lot better about what we're doing, attempting, struggling with, and even if it's things we already tried, considered, thought about it still helps us feel not so lost. We have had days where it has really beat...

Right, I just see SO many people talking about it as a topper or something to mix in with different foods (if of course your cat likes it) so I just wondered if people thought regular goat milk intended for humans could be used for cats.

There are lots of goat milk products on the market now as many of you may have noticed. Is there any reason to think it has anything that regular organic natural goat milk doesn't have? Or when you buy the cat versions are you just paying the 'cat tax' (when the exact same ingredients are in...

This is nutrition based, but it's also partly behaviour. I guess the reason for posting this here is because the opinion of nutrition people is probably more useful in this case. Firstly, everything posted here from the Good Tips to Get Your Cats To Eat sticky thread to the other info posted...

Ok, thank you @Alldara, @FeralHearts and everyone else, we thought we were going nuts. We have literally looked everywhere and it's not like we live in some small town. We're starting to think that there is maybe some Health Canada thing about selling meat in baby food because the massive amount...

It's every fruit and veg under the sun and oats. But never, like...NEVER, have we seen meat. Anyway, like I said there are other things out there to use for our cat to eat more but I just find it funny how much people say "meat baby food" and we can't see it anywhere.

Can't seem to access this at all. Just get this...
