Haven't tried NV or Wellness, so I'll check them out. We tried Felidae and I was really excited about it as I planned to rotate and use that along with CN. Unfortunately, my cats weren't thrilled. I guess I'll check out posts on good kibbles and then start my website ingredient search...

several of mine have become constipated. Like you, I searched and searched for one everyone liked before deciding on this one. I guess I might have to go back to square one. Sharky/Others - - is there anything out there this is similar to this as far as simple ingredient go and is chicken...

Following up on another post. Have been feeding CN C&R for a while and things had been going well, until recently. Took a list at the ingredients on the new bag and it seems they've changed their formula and the fiber dropped from 3.5% to 1/5% which has make some of my kitties constipated. A...

but why not add something else to make up the fiber loss? Isn't 1.5% kind of low?

I wrote to CN to ask about the addition of white rice to their forumula as some of my kitties had suddenly become constipated after doing so well on CN Chicken and Rice. Here is their reply: Dear pet lover, Thank you for contacting us about our products. Natura uses whole white and brown...

Cool. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks, Sharky. Where does one buy apple pectin? Is it powder or liquid.

No, I haven't gone to the vet. This particular kitty, although he started off life as a domestic born kitten, acts more feral than my ferals most of the time. The vet I use will make house calls, but even that stresses the poor thing so much that he'll hide for weeks after. And, trying to get...

Seems to have changed their formula. After making the switch from Purina One Chicken and Rice to Cal. Naturals Chicken and Rice, I noticed a remarkable difference in all of the kitties coats, etc. Thing were going along great - everyone eating good, looking good, pooping good - then bam! About...

I have a similar situation - - my little pariah (Annie) gets picked on a lot. My alpha male and his sister (one of the more dominant females) and Anne's two brothers pick on her quite a bit. They have been in the household together since the alpha male and his sister were 6 months old and...

I just saw a couple in the Drs. Foster and Smith catalog I just received in the mail yesterday. It was in their just for cats catalog. Sad to say, I bought one at a pet show eons ago when I only had one cat and going away for a weekend was still a remote possibility, but I never even used it...

I've read about Nok Out enzyme cleaner on this site and was wondering if anyone out there has tried it lately. Most of the posts I pulled up in my search were a few years old. I've used OUT, Simple Solution, Stink Free, Nature's Miracle and Get Serious. I've not used Nature's Miracle in quite...

Thanks. I'll check them out.

I am currently using Ever Clean Unscented cat litter. It's wonderful as far as the clumping goes, and it's very fine grained, which is what my cats seem to prefer. However, it's gone up in price considerably - started off paying $16.99 for a 40 lb box a few years ago. They switched from a...

I've used Stink Free spray in the bottom of my litter boxes with great success. It's a powerdery substance in a spray can. Cats haven't objected and it makes scooping MUCH easier. Seems like no matter how much litter I put in, some of my kitties will burrow all the way to the bottom and pee...

Thanks to everyone for their feedback. I wanted to try something that was a bit higher in protein and lower in carbs. I have 13 adult cats ranging in age from 7-14. One of the 8 year olds is a wee tad on the heavy side and is a carb junkie - begs for things like potato chips, crackers and...

Have been trying to find good cat foods. I've recently transitioned from Purina One Chicken & Rice to California Naturals. They seem to like CN pretty well, but I have a couple that I think are carb junkies and would like to try something that is grain free to see if that would work. I'm...

I wouldn't want to speculate what a cat may or may not have eaten when I wasn't watching, but if your cat is an exclusively indoor cat and has always been, hasn't eaten raw food or live prey, the chances are pretty much nil. You can have your cat tested at the vet if you are concerned. As a...

Yes, it is something you should be worried about if you are pregnant as it can cause birth defects/blindness in fetus. That said, if your cats are and have exclusively been indoor cats and eat commercial dry or canned food, there isn't really much of a chance they can get it. Toxoplasmosis...

Sorry to hear about Buddy. I lost one of my dogs to bone cancer - unfortunately it had spread so we really didn't have any options. I think that he'll adjust to only having 3 legs just fine after some adjustment period. As for the other cats not receiving him well - I'd keep him isolated in a...
