Hi folks. Just wanted to let you all know that it appears that it ws the food that was causing the problem. Within 1 1/2 days of me giving Lucky his good ol' Nutro Complete (for Adult cats), his stool went back to normal and has been fine every since. Amazing! Thank-you everyone for your help...

Hmmm. I'll try that pumkin concept. He doesn't seem to like wet stuff but we'll try! As far as food...I was using Nutro Complete for indoor cats and over the holidays my mom who was kitty sitting gave him "Blue Spa Direct" And he had no problems. When I got back, I began mixing Blue Spa /Nutro...

Well the thing is he doesn't eat wet food and with human food (which is normally wet) I think it's the smell (which food processing doesn't help). Problematic I know.

Hi folks. Well Lucky seems to have a mild case of diarrhea. I have heard white rice and boiled chicken can help but he wonâ€8482t eat that (rarely will he eat any human food). Any suggestions? Thank-you!!

oh I would put it on my card or something to get him treated but it would be nice if insurance would then help out! Do most people on this forum have insurance?

I'm in Manhattan. I have a great vet but if something went wrong w/my dear kitty, I don't have extra thousands lying around to cover unlimited costs ya know? Thanks for any/all advice!

Hi folks. Happy New Year! So I've never gotten pet insurance before but living in one of the most expensive cities in the world...I wonder if it would be wise to. What are your thoughts on this? And if you recommend it...anyone have insurance in NYC that they recommend? Thanks so much everyone!

Let us know how this goes! I too live in a one room situation and am very very curious to hear your experiences!!!

Thanks everyone! Looks like Lucky drinks the average amount then. GOOD to know!! (ps I give her dry food...it's what she likes-so that probably gets her more thirsty too). Thanks again everyone!

Hi folks. Lucky's mom writing. (she's a 1 1/2 year old female that I inherited from my grandmother). She drinks a lot more than my childhood cat but seems healthy and pretty active. I'm just trying to have a gage. She always drinks after she eats and normally then goes to the litterbox about 5...

Good point. What IS using the bathroom more than normal? My cat Lucky (1 1/2 year old female) who I've had only for about a month...also acts as if I am starving her and drinks a lot of water. Just praying that I'm not missing warning signs or anything.

I also don't have experience in this but I do highly doubt one trip to the vet would make them forget such an obvious bond. Those pictures are INSANELY cute. I too am in love with your boys. Thanks for the smile!

Well your Lucky is rather cute! I inherited my Lucky (who's a she...it was her name at the shelter) from my grandmother so she's a bit older...not as cute as yours now...more at the "beautiful" stage I'd like to say I'm going to check out those sites right now. (I'd post a picture but I don't...

Hi folks. I'm saving up for some of those videos/dvd's of nature to keep my NYC stuck cat a bit more entertained. Any suggestions on good ones? Till then...I am going to try to get a screensaver that might be interesting for her...any suggestions on that front? Btw folks...I'm becoming addicted...

Maybe if it can be used as her scratch post instead of what she has now. Any advice on what ones premote the most activity? She runs around quite a bit when I'm home but I want to get her moving as much as possible. Thanks!

Oh I know it's not the best for Lucky but 2 cats in my studio apt. in NYC is just not feasible right now. To keep the tracked litter and hair from literally taking over the room I live in is enough work with 1 cat nevermind 2! (my boy friend is also midly allergic...one cat and he puts up a good...

Hi folks. So I've had Lucky for about a month now and am absolutely in love with her My question today is regarding activity. As some of you know, I live in a studio apt. in NYC so she doesn't have stacks of room to run around in. I give her lots of love at night and play with her about 15 min...

Thanks! Yeah you are right...I need to stop be afraid that somehow I'm starving her if I'm giving her what the bag suggests. So wet food hunh? I never had success with wet food with my last cat...he just ate part of it and then it would get stale in a few hrs and he wouldn't touch it again till...

Thanks for the reply. I tried the feeding throughout the day but she just eats all the food in the bowl immediately and wants more in about 30 min. That's good to hear that perhaps Iams is just not filling her up as other foods. I'll look into some better ones. Suggestions? Thanks folks!

Hi folks. So I changed my Lucky's food from some cheap Purina/kitten food she had been given (previous owner) to Iams furball/weight management food for adults. Lucky is not that active as I live in a studio and there is only SO much she can run back and forth (though I try to give her a...
