Hi all, I've been considering making some changes to my cat's food, but it seems like I've heard a lot of conflicting information, so I'm not sure what's best. I currently feed her Instinct dry 2x a day. I'd heard that feeding wet is better due to the high moisture content, but at our last...

Moscato's been taking an oral steroid to treat her asthma symptoms. Her vet and I discussed the option of weaning her off the pills and transitioning her to an inhaler, specifically AeroKat. In addition to word-of-mouth, I've done a little bit of research and it seems like oral steroids aren't...

A few weeks ago Moscato started having these short coughing (wheezing?) fits. She'll crouch low to the ground and start to cough, but not quite hack and I've never seen her throw anything up. Sometimes the cough sounds dry, sometimes a little phlegmy, but it almost always sounds a little squeaky...

Hi, all! My roommate and I leave a grain-free dry food out all day for our kitties. I feed Moscato her own wet food daily, but I feel better leaving the dry out for her because my schedule can be crazy and unpredictable and sometimes I'll be away from home for a large chunk of the day. She...

My six month old cat Moscato has recently taken a liking to sinks and bathtubs. She grew interested with water faucets and would even stick her head under the sink head to lap up some water while I brushed my teeth. Then, one day, she squatted and peed in the sink right in front of me.  That...

Hi, all! It's been a while since I've posted here but I think I could use some of your expertise.  I was at Target picking up some food for Moscato today when I discovered Iams Purrfect Grain Free. I picked up a couple cans of the wet chicken variety to see if she'd eat it. One is a pate in...

Moscato and I recently discovered her favorite type of toy. She absolutely LOVES playing with small stuffed toys that are mouse-sized. She bats them around, chases them, and carries them around in her mouth until she gets them stuck underneath something, lol. After playing with this type of toy...

When I took my girl to the vet for the first time about a month ago, they gave us a free dose of the Revolution flea and heart worm medication. It seems fairly pricey, but the vet has a deal where if you purchase nine treatments, you get three treatments for free which equals to a full year of...

Moscato was spayed today and the surgery went smoothly! I've been keeping a close eye on her but she's already attempted to lick at her incision a few times. I purchased a plastic cone from the vet before I left and I'm assuming it's the smallest one they had, but she's still managing to slip...

Moscato wasn't picky when I first brought her home a little over a month ago. She's the complete opposite now.     I started off feeding her Merrick's pates, then switched her to other brands and types because she had recurring diarrhea and I suspected Merrick was the culprit. Now, she won't...

Moscato was too young to be spayed when I adopted her (8 weeks) but in her adoption contract, it states that she'll need to have her surgery scheduled by the end of the first week of June which will be here before I know it! I'm not really sure what to expect, though. Will she be kept overnight...

After getting a taste of Tiki Cat and Weruva canned food, Moscato will no longer eat any of the regular, cheaper pate wet food. I tried rotating and letting her have some of the cheaper wet foods so that I wouldn't break the bank, but she will barely touch the stuff now. While I'm glad she loves...

I was reading an article about tortoiseshell cats which stated that torties typically have little to no white in their coats. Moscato has a white throat, paws, and belly, so it got me thinking: what if she isn't a tortie after all?  I googled "dilute calico" and some of the images seem to...

I've been on the site for a couple of weeks now but have yet to formally introduce myself and my fur baby. Time to change that! 

Hi, all! I've been trying to feed Moscato more wet food, at least two or three times a day if I can (she's about 3 months) and she snacks on some dry food in between if she feels like it. Right now I have her eating Wellness's kitten formula wet food but I don't want her to get tired of eating...

Hi all, Some of you may have seen my thread in the Nutrition forums regarding my 10 week old kitten's diet and the loose stools/diarrhea she's been having. A couple of nights ago, she had full blown diarrhea and couldn't get to the litter box in time, so it ended up all over the floor and on...

So I adopted my nine week old kitten a week ago now and for the past few days she's been using the litter box very often, sometimes multiple times within the hour. Her stools seem to be normal in color but are loose and runny for the most part. I'm not sure what she was fed prior to me adopting...

About a week ago I adopted a two month old kitten who I've named Moscato. My roommates and I currently have one other cat who's about 9 months old, Winston. Moscato is a little timid and takes a little while to feel comfortable in new spaces, but she's very playful. Winston is playful as well...
