    Help...Need Hairball Advice

    As far as the flea collars and pro vaccinations... I don't like the flea collars either. I've seen where they do more harm than good. Vaccinations...if the cat stays strictly indoors and isn't exposed to other cats that go outside, then I wouldn't get the vaccinations. However, if your cat...

    Help...Need Hairball Advice

    I'm not familiar with laxatone. But, I can recommend Lax'aire. This is a laxative and lubricant that contains liquid petrolatum, cod liver oil, and soybean oil. When our kitty has problems with eliminating a hairball we have to give her about a one inch ribbon of this paste twice daily until...

    What brand of food do you feed your cats?

    Well, what is it? I checked the food wizard and didn't see it listed in their food so where would it fall under?

    What brand of food do you feed your cats?

    Yes, I've tried the pouches and she doesn't even try them. I'm guessing that she doesn't care for the "gravy" that they are in.

    What brand of food do you feed your cats?

    I'll check the regular Nutro. Chicken Soup told me that they add cellulose (which they said is a fiber) to their food and that aids in the prevention of hairballs. Though their bag doesn't make any claims about hairball control so I will have to check it out.. Yes, I can get Natural Balance...

    What brand of food do you feed your cats?

    Currently our cat eats Nutro Natural Choice Indoor Formula dry food. However, I'm looking to possibly switch her food. She got a huge hairball and she's never had problems with hairballs in the past. I previously fed her the C & R's Sensible Choice but she grew out of it or something as she...

    Canned Food

    I should have said in the original question that our cat eats NUTRO NATURAL CHOICE COMPLETE CARE INDOOR FORMULA dry food solely. Occasionally we give her boneless chicken or turkey if that is what we had for dinner as a treat and maybe once every 10-12 days a tablespoon of tuna in water as a...

    Canned Food

    Thanks to everyone! Our little local pet food store carries the Solid Gold line so I think I will give that a try.

    Canned Food

    I've tried the Iams brand and a premium one from a specialty pet food store (can't remember the name as it has been a long time maybe Nutro?). We don't have any of the chain pet stores anywhere near where I live (such as Petco, Superpetz, Pet Wharehouse...) and the other stores mentioned thus...

    Canned Food

    My cat so far dislikes canned food or the moist food in pouches. However, she loves canned tuna in water. Does anyone have any suggestions for a canned food for cats that she may like?

    Urgent-Cat can't urinate-vet is out of town!

    Thank you so much. It means a lot to me that there are "strangers" out there who cared enough to answer my questions and seemed genuinely concerned.

    Hello!

    Hi! I am new here and stumbled across this site by accident this past weekend when I was surfing the net. I have a 8 year old seal mitted female Ragdoll named Angel. She is our only cat and lives strictly indoors. I'm sure that I will become a regular here and looking forward to gaining a...

    Urgent-Cat can't urinate-vet is out of town!

    Took her to the vets early today. She is doing great. No problems. Advised to watch her and see if this happens again. No explanation as to what it was as all checked out okay. Thank you so much for your quick responses!

    Urgent-Cat can't urinate-vet is out of town!

    June, She is doing fine and has been since last evening. (Maybe you missed that in one of my posts). Today, she is her regular self. I am still calling the vet first thing tomorrow to take her in to get checked out, but she is eating, drinking, urinating ... as normal. Thank you to all of...

    Urgent-Cat can't urinate-vet is out of town!

    What can I expect to be done at the office visit and what course of action(s) can the vet chose to take? (Change in diet? Antibiotics? Meds?) How will the vet determine what caused this? From what I've learned it could have been a number of things. Thanks!

    Urgent-Cat can't urinate-vet is out of town!

    I'm wondering...I've found a few articles online that are unrelated but suggested that if UTI's, crystals, blockages are a problem that feeding strictly canned food is the preferred method. I'll bring this up with the vet but what are your thoughts?

    Urgent-Cat can't urinate-vet is out of town!

    Maybe someone can answer a previous question regarding this problem. I was wondering if the dry food that she is on could have been what led up to this? She is on Nutro Natural Choice Complete Care Indoor-Senior formula. I switched her to this about 6 weeks ago. Prior to that she was on...

    Urgent-Cat can't urinate-vet is out of town!

    Well, I'm happy and relieved to say that she seems to be fine although I will call the vet on Monday as she should be in then. When the cat awoke from her nap the first thing she did was go to her litterbox and urinate. Then she drank some of her water and then visited her litterbox again...
