    my cat throws up dry food but is fine with wet

    Actually, I've had that happen a little. My cat hasn't had any problems with wet food, but has (a few times in the past) thrown up the dry - just after eating it. The vet found nothing wrong. Now I'm changing him to mostly wet, (with just a little dry) and no vomiting has occurred - so far. He...

    I forgot to tell you that I did try to downsize Duke's amount of Innova Dry from 3/4 cup per day to 1/2 cup, but he was always hungry and meowing. I would usually have to give him 3/4 cup over a 24 hr period, and he was not losing any weight. Now that we've started the Wet only Innova, he seems...

    Thank you so much for your response! Duke seems much hungrier on the dry, even though he was getting Evo most of the time, and regular Innova part of the time, and Lite Innova part of the time. He always wanted more and more. So, I am trying the wet, and he seems good with it, so far..... We...

    Thanks you! Yes, I have realized what you said. I think he was just wanting some attention. He seems to chew paper if he is extra-hungry or upset (at the vet's he chewed her papers), or just wants something.

    No weight clinic that I've found yet. Did the vet change the kind of food or just the amount? Thanks so much.

    Thanks! I am thinking I should seek a second opinion and get it right for him and be careful.

    We Are New....

    Greetings to all: I've recently joined the Cat Site, and, of course, I posted before my introduction. My name is Katy and our cat's name is Duke. He's all black with green eyes, he's about 4 or 5 years, and has nicknames such as Bunnyboy, Dukey, Popo, Mr. Big, and just Bunny. And he's jumbo...

    Thanks! I'm going for 1.5 cans and see if it's better for him. He hasn't had any tummy problems from it yet...I'll continue to give him a few dry bits during adjustment.

    Help us with our weight problem! Please.

    Well, the Innova tin is 156 grams; and I've just been feeding him 1 can only for the past 2 days. Perhaps I should give him another half, as he seems a bit gripey and I don't want him to be uncomfortable and unhappy. It's hard for me to tell because he loves to eat! I do split it into 2 and...

    Well, the Innova suggests 1 can per 7-11 lb. cat, if feeding canned exclusively. So, I guess I'm underfeeding him a bit thus far. He seems a little gripey, but not too bad. So, I'm just kind of feeling my way with it. Thanks for your help!

    Thanks! Duke like wet and/or dry. He has no problem eating. The vet said: If he were to lose 5 lbs in 2 years, it would be lucky.

    Thank you for your reply. Duke is NOT a kitten. And I've started shutting him out, so the problem has been nearly solved. He seems to go for paper when he wants something, such as food.

    Duke is about 4-5 yrs., NOT a kitten. He is wonderful, but very overweight. Last month the vet did not seem distressed, but suggested feeding less or 'lite' food, and said he needed to lose about 5 lbs. I had been feeding him: 1/4 cup of dry Innova Evo in the mornings and evenings; 1/4 can...

    Help! My Cat Bites at Random!

    My cat bites me (doesn't injure me) when he wants food, and when he wants to play, or when he wants me to stop petting him. I haven't tried any kind of discipline because it's clear to me what he is asking for. Maybe your cat is trying to communicate something to you. These are the only times...

    Yes, I have experienced my cat chewing papers. Also, when he seems distressed. He chewed his papers at his vet visit.

    Hi: I'm new, and I'm happy to get so much information from so many 'cats' out there. My cat has an on-and-off habit of coming into the bedroom around 4 am, and he chews papers to wake me up. Sometimes he claws at the carpet. He doesn't need anything; he has food, water, etc. Does anyone...
