    I'm at my wits ends with dry cat food!!! Advice?

    I used to give my cats Nutro Complete Care, but that was discontinued earlier this year. I looked long and hard to find a suitable replacement and settled on Orijen. The cats did well on it, all good. Now my usual suppliers have increased the price of Orijen by 33% to bring it in line with...

    Frontline good alternative for Stronghold?

    We are looking to switch from Stronghold, since its kind of annoying that we have to take our kitties in for a (paid!) checkup everytime we buy Stronghold, but when we asked the vet nurse for a good non-prescrip alternative, she basically told us that other flea treatments were not as good as...

    How to stop cat from eating grass

    My cat has been vomiting almost non stop for a month or more now.. We took him to the vet, and the vet said he was in excellent health, and said it may be due to over-eating. He was already wormed, but the vet gave him another worming tablet to make sure it wasn't due to worms. He doesn't...

    Cats shedding hair

    My 2 older cats (2 and a half yrs) seem to shed a lot of hair compared to the younger ones. One of them has medium length hair, and the other has shorter hair. Is there anything in terms of nutrition I can do for them that might help with this? Will grooming them more help, or will this just...

    How to control weight of one cat among 5??

    Hi all! I have 5 cats, all of whom are very healthy (touch wood) but one of them is starting to get pretty big. Its funny because even when he was a baby, he weighed a lot more than the others despite being the same size, so we assumed it must have been due to him being a muscly cat. So some...

    WHat are these tiny black things on my cat???

    My cat has these tiny black/brown things in his fur. It looks like tiny particles of dirt, but they jump! Ive seen fleas so I know its not those, its a lot smaller, could they be ticks? They are too small to make out any features like head or body so I dont think it could be ticks. They are...

    do I need to do the switch gradually thing? It wouldnt really work anyway, because I give them something different most days. I used to do this with my first two, before I knew about gradual switching... My 2 adult cats and 3 kittens are kind of used to getting different foods every day...

    Product that turns normal clay litter into clumping??

    Anyone know what I'm on about? I think its a liquid that you put on your existing clay litter, and it makes the litter clump, just like normal clumping litter. Has anyone tried it and got any thoughts on it?
