I recently changed my 3 cats to TOTW. My 2 girls were on Chicken Noodle and were begining to vomit it. My oldest boy (14) was on Purina Indoor. He couldnt chew the Chicken Noodle, the peices were to big for him. I was reading through the posts and saw something about TOTW being to high in...

I took home a cat from my shelter in hopes to get her to eat anything by herself. She is in good health otherwise. She is about eight years old, and her teeth and gums do not seem to be infected. We thought at first she was just depressed, but after having her in a home for a couple days, she...

Anyone ever heard of it? I did a little research on it, and the only thing I could really find on it was that it's a bovine virus that can also effect cat colonies and multiple cat households. But I'm not really sure how it's spread. We just had to put three cats down at my shelter from this...
