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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I'm seriously asking.. is meat baby food available in Canada? EVERY body in the cat nutrition world mentions it at some point and my wife and I literally can not find it anywhere. We don't have kids so we're not exactly well versed in where to buy baby food but every supermarket or similar store...

Just a quick note that, yes, this cat has been to two vets for other things and nothing urinary related was thought to be a problem. Full clean bill of health. Things are ok behaviourally in our home with this cat we just adopted. He's 11, he's front paw declawed, he is slightly overweight. My...

Does anyone have or know of a site or book that lists plants, trees, shrubs, flowers that are safe for cats? I feel like this is a resource that would come in very handy not only for gardeners but just for cat owners. I see lots of "three plants you can keep that won't hurt your cats" type of...

We have this feeling that the new cat we adopted last week who is in his safe sanctuary room would love to be exploring the rest of our home and might be getting bored in his room, which we know has the possibility of provoking all manner of behavioural issues. He's had two outings in the last...

There isn't a whole lot of info to give but... 1. We brought our cat home yesterday, he's an older guy from a shelter, 11 years old. He had been surrendered by the previous owner. 2. He had been eating a Hill's Dental care food, nothing in the shelter vet's analysis suggested a need for that...

Is there special feline S. Boulardii? Or is it the same as the human kind just at a smaller dose?

I'll try to be brief to not bog the question down with details. But I should preface this now with the following to just not waste certain people's time... We will not under any circumstances feed our cat dry food. We will not feed him commercial brands full of gums and nameless things like...

Our cat is pooing outside his box, but wait there are details to know. - it's not health related. Recent check up, blood work and urinalysis all were fine - he uses the other litter in the apartment, we have a three bedroom apartment one litter is on one side of the apartment, the other is on...
