I'd be suspect of one of the other cats, had I not seen the new one pee multiple times, multiple places. I was getting dressed for work one night and Dexter walked to the end of the bed to say hello like he normally does. After a few seconds, I thought he looked like he was squatting, picked...

I forgot to mention that everything is washed/cleaned in vingear and Nature's Miracle (cat formula).

The boxes are cleaned about 4 times a day. I've never noticed him turn his nose up at any of the boxes after entering. Though they were not thrilled at first, he gets along great now with everyone else. I've never seen any of them every interrupt another at the litter box, so I wouldn't...

I adopted a 1 y/o neutered cat from the shelter in late August. He had a bad cold, and immediately went on antibiotics. We have 3 other male cats, and already had 3 Tidy Cats breeze litter boxes (which we loved) in an upstairs bathroom and bathtub (the "cat room" ). We introduced the new one...

My mom has just noticed that our 16 year old crf cat has started licking the metal fireplace grate. She thinks it's probably painted aluminum. As far as she can tell, this is a behavior that started in the past few days. My first thought is a deficiency of some sort. She's been on the...

I have no doubts that harness training would be a breeze. I'm not concerned about that. I would love to have a cat porch. If I owned, rather than rented, I would build a cat proof enclosure in a heartbeat. Off the top of my head, the only enclosure that would work would be the dog crate, which...

I had a good scare tonight when Sammy decided to bolt out the door, making this my 3rd heart attack in the 3 years we've had him. When we adopted Sammy, he came from a home where he was allowed to be an indoor/outdoor cat. Since he has been outside before, he knows what to expect and runs as...

Anyone have any ideas?

Apparently, she is scarfing up the SD, so it's not for lack of eating that she's losing weight. We're still trying tons of wet foods in an attempt to find something she won't turn her nose up at.

My 16 year old was diagnosed with CRF a few months ago, and of course the vet prescribed Science Diet . Copper has been on either Evo or Core for a number of years and and was doing excellently on it. She free feeds and has always been slim and a good weight. Against my wishes, my mom (who...

I did see on some of the charts that Evo had one of the highest phosphorous contents. I've been wading through the CRF topic, but I think i'm only to page 8 or so yet.

Oh what a jumbled title... I'll try to explain myself better. My 16 year old was just diagnosed with CRF. The vet's only advice was to change her food to something like Hill's k/d. Copper has been on a high quality food her whole life, and grain free for the past 5 years or so. She currently...

I just went back and looked at their regular cans, not the gourmet cans, and you're right. I just assumed if the gourmet had wheat gluten, the regular would be really bad. And no, when organ meat is named, I have no problem with that. It's the "mystery meat" that bothers me. I love all the...

Nutro has wheat gluten in all of their foods, so that's a no. I checked out the bigger cans and there's some better deals there. The felidae is awfully cheap, but i'm not sure how much they would prefer that flavor. The california natural I know they like. I liked that you could get a variety...

I feed a variety of grain free dry foods to my three cats, and I try to include wet food as often as I can (every few days right now). My biggest problem is that with 3 greedy boys high quality wet foods add up super quick. Can anyone give me some new ideas on the least expensive, but still good...

Copper is getting up there. She'll be turning 15 this year. http://picasaweb.google.com/apachepo...39195230214450 Her cranky 14 y/o self: http://picasaweb.google.com/apachepo...74432309293042

Coming from someone who has an 'ungroomable' 14 year old MEAN persian, your best bet is to just hold the cat down and brush it. When Copper was younger and actually groomed herself, my parents never brushed her because she was so bad, and she didn't really need it (in their eyes). When I took...

Of course if I went this route, I would get a more in depth work up. I was just hoping for other's experiences with using antidepressants before talking to the vet. Did they work for your cat? About how much did it cost? Etc...

I've got a 14 year female persian who's getting crabbier by the day. She's never been particularly friendly or outgoing, but she's just been unbearable lately! And yes, she was checked out by a vet about 2 months ago. For example: this morning my girlfriend held a treat out for her, she...

I've been giving my old kitty the wellness cat vitamins since she doesn't eat nearly as much food as she used to, but they are driving me crazy! They say to give 4 a day for a cat her age! Of course I can't just feed them to her (they smell awful!) so I have to crush them up, dissolve them in...
