    Cats and New Baby

    Those are such sweet stories. I don't know if I'd be happy or just plain perplexed if my baby's first word was my kitty's name. That's too cute. At least my husband and I wouldn't be hurt by her choosing to say dadda or momma first. hahaha. My pet sitter also told me about cats wanting to...

    Cats and New Baby

    Thanks for your replies Crazyforinfo and Nekomania. My Merlynn loves to sleep on my lap, I wonder how she'll act when there is not enough lap for her in the coming months. Guess we'll have to wait and see. It's going to be interesting... And yes, Neko I see why your grandfather hated cats...

    Questions about Canine I/D

    Hey thanks for the replies. The first thing I told her was to speak with her vet to see if he'd work with her through a food change. I'll give her the list of the suggested foods and have her take them to her vet. Thanks again.

    Questions about Canine I/D

    Hey there, I have a friend with an 11 year old small mixed-breed dog. For the past 2 years he has had bad tartar on his teeth, so much so that the vet has cleaned them every 6 months. Also, when he eats, you hear this awful gassy noise coming from his tummy. He tries to eat grass when this...

    Grain free food that cats prefer?

    I was feeding Nutro canned for the longest while b/c it was the only canned food my babies would actually eat enough to stay alive. hahaha. On a whim I bought Wellness Chicken (grain free) and they love it!!! Yay! They won't touch Merrick. hahahahahaaha. Good luck. These kitties have us trained.

    Urinary tract question

    I'm so sorry about your kitty. Poor baby. But I agree with Sharky. 100% canned food for your kitties with UTI problems. And if your kitty will eat it, add water to the canned food to make it like a soup. Fountains help them drink more, so that's good too. I refuse to feed a prescription diet...

    Doggie Losing Kidney Function

    Maybe the Core canine is tastier!! haha. Yeah, the prices on those are crazy high!! And the Solid Gold was brand new here. They didn't even have samples for me. But the kritters loved it!! And with the price, they just get it as a little addition to the canned...especially since Pico, my male...

    Doggie Losing Kidney Function

    My little punks hate Core!! They love Nutro canned and the dry I have them on now is Solid Gold, Indigo Moon...too fancy!!! Ha. But it's the only high protein, low carb dry they'll eat. I'll hope for the best. Oh and thanks to you and this forum, I've converted my sister, my friend and my mom...

    Doggie Losing Kidney Function

    Thanks for the replies. I have had her on Wellness Senior since the first vet visit. Now, this is my mother's dog, so I'm not sure how far she'd go for her...I'm definitely over the top for my cats. Nothing is too much. I'd love to take her to a vet down the street from my job. He "does not...

    Doggie Losing Kidney Function

    Hi. I posted about a month back with a senior, overweight Min Pin who was experiencing possible kidney failure. Since the initial visit we've had her on an all wet diet...Wellness Senior. She loves it and has actually lost 1/2 a pound. We took the baby (Bandit) back to the vet because he...

    Eating paper/tissue

    My two boys LOVE plastic and paper. Pico likes to eat EVERYTHING. Straw wrappers, toy mice tails...I just have to make sure I don't leave them around. All mice get their tails amputated before they are given to the cats (toys of course ). Crazy kritters!!!

    Please Read... Just a quick Question...

    you can also try brushing them daily and wiping them down with a towel damp with distilled water. this helps with the dander. plus, make sure that the kits do not go into her room, ever. and if you can keep them in one room or in a sectin of the house, that would keep an area clean of kitty...

    Missing My Baby :(

    When I took Merlynn in to check her urine for crystals, they could not get a sample. The vet sent us home with a small cup with top (like the ones we get for a human urine sample) with small black pellets. He told me to poor the pellets in a small litter box (w/o any other litter in there) and...

    is he sick?

    I'm sorry but that's funny. I agree that he must be very hungry. A kitten of that age should eat at least 4 times a day if he doesn't have access to dry food at all times. Kittens should be allowed to eat as much as they need to at each meal time. Boy can they eat!!

    Pet Fountain

    My 3 love it. We've had it since February of '07 and it's going strong. The only problem is this darn leak it gets every so often....oh no wait...that's just Miss Merlynn splashing the water out of it and following it down the grout lines.
