Rice and barley aregrains, but I'm wondering where the 11% fewer calories than the adult Wellness comes in...I sure wish they could list calories the way they do on human food!

The bag I bought sqys "natural food for Adult Cats with added vitamins, minerals and taurine. Calorie control: 11% less calories than Wellness Complete Health adult formulas. " No meat by-products, corn wheat , soy" Ingredients: deboned chicken, chicken meal, rice, ground barley, ground rice...

It could be Core. I didn't look at the smaller print. I just know that the name on the bag is "Healthy Weight". Is it new?

I recently learned that Healthy Weight by Wellness is grain-free. I can be given to reduce weight or to maintain weight (the directions are on the bag) I've been giving to my cat for three days, and he likes it. I am trying to help him lose a few pounds. Pet Co sells this. I had been...

Thanks for wishing me luck! I can see that I'll really need it now that I've read other posts about how difficult it is to keep our dear ones at a perfect weight. I mentioned in another post that I spoke to Beverly at The Wellness Company and she said that I should change Snowy's dry food to...

I would like to know the approximate size of your cats so that I can try to determine the amount of Wellness canned food to feed my large cat (19 - 20 lbs) which will keep him from gaining weight. Also, are they outdoor or indoor cats? I only have one cat and have been spending approximately...

Thank you so much, Ms Freda!!! It's hard for me to tell whether or not he is actually fat He has short legs, but his tummy doesn't reach the floor and I can see a waist (barely). After we got home I looked at the package of dry that I have here (indoor-cat), and saw that it contains rice, wheat...

My 2-year-old cat weighed 19 pounds at the vet. I have cut down the amount of food I give him from 1 three-ounce can (Wellness) plus 2/3 cup of Indoor-cat dry food (Wellness). This is the amount recommended for a 15-18 pound cat on mixed food. He's a large cat to begin with and has long fur...

I can imagine how angry and frustrated you must feel!! You express yourself very well, and I just couldn't help laughing, although it surely is no laughing matter!!! I, too, am an inexperienced cat owner, but I have been very fortunate to have rescued a perfect cat (for me). He seems to...

Thanks! I now realize that it was another poster who said he/she sat on her cat's back (but not really). I can picture kneeling down so that he can't move - good idea! Yes, I agree that with two people it must be easier. I'll keep practicing! Neither one of us is going anywhere - unless I...

That's what I've been doing! But, he doesn't usually like to sleep on my lap, so it's a little difficult. I just now clipped a few nails before he said that he positively had had enough of my bothering him.

I don't think my kitten would like being wrapped in a towel either, but then I haven't tried that yet. I guess I misunderstood your description of how you clip your cat's nails - I was picturing you, I guess, squatting over him/her. I'll definitely try holding him between my legs to see if that...

I tried to picture myself sitting on Snowball's back without putting weight on her, but I couldn't even imagine how that would be!! I think I would not get very far before I would be lying on the floor in great pain! I'm sure my sciatica would quickly come back! I'm still trying to let him...

Yesterday - before I knew about these posts about leash-training - I decided to try a harness and leash I had purchased when I first rescued my kitten. First, I put on the harness and let him walk around the house. Actually, he crawled around the house! He looked really weird. Then a scary...

My kitten is, I think, mostly Ragdoll. He has very furry paws, and it's imperative that I 'push' to allow the nail to show. Of course, I'm very inexperienced and know little about any type of paw. He's a rescue, so I really have no idea what breeds are in his genes. I do know that he has...

I totally agree that you did the right thing - who knows what would have happened if you had tried to "deck" him!!! In my opinion you do not attract 'losers' - you have just been unlucky and you are also a very trusting person and are learning that it's very important to be in a public place...

You are very fortunate! My daughter loves it in Seattle. I know 'they' say it rains all the time, but whenever I've been there, if it rained it was in the morning; then it would clear up and be a beautiful day. I guess that's why everything stays so green all year.

Thanks for those ideas! I only have one cat, but he's six months old, and I've only had him since the end of July. He is very affectionate and "needy"; and never having had a kitten before, I worry that his personality will change or that he will get separation-anxiety, etc. because I've never...

Don't you just love Seattle?? Are you visiting children or parents, or friends, or just visiting? How long will you stay? And, do you have someone to watch your cats and/or kittens?? If I could leave my dog home, I would, and then I would feel much better. However, my son is keeping my dog...

My situation is almost the same as yours, except that I do not have other cats for my Snowball to play with or at least keep him company. Also, he will be almost 8 months in Nov. I left him for two days two weeks ago, and the sitter said that he cried and meowed loudly every time she would leave...
