Does anyone have any links to actual reasearch into potential problems of feeding a dry food diet? I have lots of links about feeding wet food, and the articles I've read combined with my own knowledge of cat physiology are sufficient for me to be convinced that feeding wet food is the right...

I'm compiling a spreadsheet containing all the foods my cats eat and am listing/calculating the nutrients in each one (yes, I know it's a bit anal!) and could do with some help. I know how to calculate dry matter analysis, but I've a few questions I'm hoping someone can help with. 1...

If so, how did you treat it and how long did it last? I've had pain in my elbow for about 6 weeks now. I saw the doctor about it on Monday and she confirmed it was tennis elbow and said to take painkillers (ibuprofen) to deal with the pain, but if they didn't work they could try steroid...

I've just noticed the time on posts is showing an hour ahead of the time here (eg I've just posted at approx 17.50pm but the time on my post is showing as 18.50pm). I've not noticed that before - has something been altered that might affect that? I've never noticed the time being out before...

Can anyone give me an idea of how much an ipod classic costs in the US? And where the cheapest place to buy one is? I'm after one for christmas (getting money from family towards it). My sister is visiting the US (NYC) in a couple of weeks and she and my brother in law plan to buy themselves...

Last night Mosi chewed through the string on da bird and swallowed a large portion of it. He's vomited up the clip and a small section of the thread this morning but that's all. I can't find the rest of the string anywhere so he must have eaten it. He's at the vets now and they are going to...

Pets at Home have Natures Menu on offer again - it's currently £12.89 for 48 pouches (4 variety boxes). Normal price £16.49. The boxes of 12 are £4.39 so it's a good saving.

Jaffa sprayed this morning It was definitely spraying and not peeing. I didn't catch him in the act but I'm pretty sure it was him as I walked into the bedroom and saw him with his back to the wardrobe and Mosi facing him. When they moved away I noticed a small, wet patch on the carpet and...

He's got a cat tent It's really cute - it has a tail at the back As soon as I took it out of the bag he was in it and it was ages before he would let me assemble it properly He refused to let Jaffa in it at first but eventually when he was somewhere else Jaffa got a chance to check it...

I'd rather you didn't help yourself to the shopping, ok? Been to do some food shopping this evening and after getting to the checkout realised I had no money on me so had to come home to get it then go back to the shop to pay for it Got there about 2 minutes before they closed so was a bit...

Can anyone recommend any good sites re gingivitis? I took Mosi to the vets today for his vaccinations (his first boosters - he's 15 months old) and he has some gingivitis. The vet recommended he see a specialist to see whether it's anything to worry about and whether he needs any treatment for...

No particular reason for posting - except that I've spent the day at a cat show and it's just brought home to me how much I love cats. All cats Aren't they just gorgeous? I saw some beautiful cats - from the magnificent maine coons (and there were 2 maine coons there that was absolutley...

Just been to a FIFe cat show (first FIFe show I've been to) and seen some huge cats. I knew maine coons and NFCs were large cats and I have seen them before but I couldn't believe the size of some of them I saw today. They were absolutely magnificent and for a moment I was sorely tempted to...

Over here season 3 started a while back on Sky and after watching the first ep (or rather falling asleep in front of the tv when it was on ) I lost track of when it was on so have not seen any further episodes. I'd resigned myself to waiting for it to come out on dvd but have just noticed they...

Does anyone else's cats have days when they just can't keep themselves out of trouble? Mosi is having one of those days today He can't jump onto anything without knocking something over. He woke me up at 6.30 am (having already woken me an hour earlier climbing into bed) by jumping onto a...

I trapped Mosi's paw in the door this morning and feel so guilty I was trying to get breakfast sorted out (takes a while with them having different things, then Jaffa needs his probiotic adding, and they both have plaque off sprinkled on top...) and they were whining and meowing and telling me...

My little Mosi was 1 on Christmas Eve Sadly he spent his birthday at the cattery but he's home now and having a belated birthday party He's such an adorable little boy and a pleasure to have around. He gets on great with Jaffa, despite the fact that they're both dominant cats and Jaffa...

I could do with some input and advice about Jaffa's vomiting. First off, he has been to see the vet (and will go back to see the vet) but the vet I saw last time was new and I wasn't overly impressed. I will ask to see another vet next time I think, but in the meantime I'd like to know whether...

Title says it all really http://www.ukpets.co.uk/ukp/index.ph...b=introduction Not sure whether this is the right place to post this - please move if not appropriate. More and more people over here are keeping their cats indoors and this is why. Sombre reading. I'm so glad I keep mine...

I was looking at this food in the freezer cabinet of pets at home today and was wondering what peeps thought of it? Would I need to add any supplements to that? (although I'm only thinking of feeding raw a few times a week and they'd be getting a complete wet food the rest of the time)...
