A couple of days ago I let my cat out after work as I normally do. He was doing fine as I watched him walking around the yard. But he didn't come home that night. I thought maybe he got locked up in someone's garage or shed. The next morning when he didn't show up I went looking for him. I found...
He's around 10 or 11 yrs old. Everything else is fine with him. No changes in the home except for my other cat that died early last year. She used to be the lap kitty. After she passed away Jack took her place on my lap. He's only been doing the kneading & sucking for about 3 weeks now. Maybe...
I have an older cat who has recently been acting like a baby. He'll jump on my lap which is covered with a throw blanket & starts kneading & sucking immediately. This will continue for a couple of minutes before he decides to lay down & settle in on my lap. What is going on?
I was starting to wrap presents the other day & had a box lined with paper on the floor. My cat went to sit in it. When I chased him out of it I noticed a wet mark on the paper that went through to the box. I wasn't sure it was a problem but this morning I noticed a wet spot on the kitchen floor...
My cat has been coughing/gagging periodically for the past couple days. He seems to be using extra effort to swallow at times. He is a hunter so I thought maybe he had some fur/feathers whatever caught in his throat. If so, I would have thought it would have come up by now. He seems to be...
Solomonar, I don't measure the amount of water. I just put down fresh water in bowls & I also have a fountain that both cats use. As far as the food warming goes, I use a microwave. I don't want to heat it up too hot and have her burn her mouth. She hasn't been to the vet recently but every time...
Catmom Marsha, I had tried baby food at first but she seemed to tire of that as well. I could try it again. Seems variety is the key. I do want to try the grated parm too. Thanks for your input!
Indy Jones, I thought about putting it in a blender but haven't tried it yet. I should try this Fortiflora that people are mentioning. Do they sell that in pet stores?
Arouetta, my cats don't care much for the loaf. I do buy it sometimes as an alternative choice & it gets licked... small portions are consumed. Thanks for your input!
Cheeser, I never know how much food my cat will eat at a sitting. When she's done licking up the gravy & eating some of the food she will ask for more. So I just keep adding spoonfuls to her bowl until she's satisfied. Sometimes I have to give her treats to fill her up a little more. I cater to...
Sivyaleah, thank you for all the ideas. Thankfully, my cat isn't throwing up and she has most of her teeth. I also buy Weruva for her which she loved at the beginning & cleaned her plate. Now she tends to focus on the gravy even though I chop up any big chunks. I haven't used any toppers except...
My older cat Spooky was diagnosed with kidney failure a few years ago. She's doing fine except for the weight loss. I'm keeping her stable by giving her a buffet of canned food every day. One day she likes something but the next day she doesn't. When she turns up her nose on something I open...
