Thank you for your response, missmimz.  When Bochy was first diagnosed with IBD a few weeks after I adopted her, I did, indeed, read numerous articles and blogs about her condition, possible dietary treatments, etc.  The vet initially tried her on Hills i/d wet and dry but, as it is chicken...

Bochy Pussinski, the 10-year-old tortie I adopted in November, has been diagnosed with IBD and is on what I call the million dollar diet from the vet, Royal Canin Selected Protein Rabbit canned and dry. This food, combined with an on/off regimen of metronidazole tablets, helps to hold her...

Bochy has a weird and amusing quirk: just as she's about to be fed, she puffs her tail up to about 5x its normal size.  I call it her "bottle brush" tail. The tail stays puffed until she's just about finished eating. I managed to grab a quick one-handed pic of this phenomena the other day...

Thanks for the tip, Red Top Rescue. I'm a disabled senior with severe arthritis and am proud that I can still manage to handle 20lb jugs of litter but those 40lb bags would be beyond my capability.

Since I've only posted a quick introduction to my new senior cat, Bochy, it's time to roll out some pics of her lovely self.  I initially named her "Miss Pussens" but, after she was with me for a week or so, I was looking at her face while she was sleeping in my lap and knew that she reminded me...

Has anyone used So Phresh Pine Pellet litter? I used Feline Pine  for several years with my former cats (we all loved it) but have thus far been using only clumping clay litters for my new senior cat Bochy as she is still recovering from several bouts of diarrhea. I'd like to go back to a pine...

Hi, all! I am CubsCat, MomCat to Bochy, a 10 year old female Tortie adopted last month from the local pound. The poor little lady had been there for 35 days after having been surrendered by her family and was in less than stellar condition (very thin, claws overgrown, etc) but still gave...
