I'm no expert either but.....my cats were on Wellness Turkey wet for about 2 years when Cameo just wouldn't touch it anymore. That was about 2 months ago. He simply refused to eat it. So, I went out and bought a variety of good and medium quality wet food. He's eaten everyone, but one. So, I'll...

FWIW...also.....here in Ottawa, the only places that sell premium cat food are the pet stores..not PetSmart, Pet Value, WalMart, or Zellers, or grocery stores etc. I just bought a 15-lb bag of Taste of the Wild dry for $38 plus 13% tax=$42.94 at a pet store called The Pampered Pet. They have...

Why? My two are only 2 years old, so they have a ways to go before they become 'senior', but they like TOTW dry. Just thinking ahead!! Thanks, Sharky for all your advice and knowledge!!! Joyce

Willowy...why can't the Vets admit this? Why do they insist upon a vax every year? I'm hoping that my Vet will not give me a hassle about letting it go so my cats don't get vax every year. And certainly, not in the same year as their other vax. One time I tried to protest (with another cat)...

I know...that's why I say that I forgot to get a sample. I suppose I could take a sample in any time for testing....if I suspected something. I have two cats...so if the first test did show parasites, I imagine that they'd ask me to bring in a sample from each...for further testing to see who...

Thanks, Sharky. You are fortunate that your Vet is more reasonable than most. Joyce

I totally agree with you Willowy. Why don't Vets understand that logic? It's true...humans get their first 3 shots, then that's about it until we're an adult....then there are a few shots here and there....tetnus being one of them. Kids these days do get more vacs...eg. mumps...that I never...

Thank you, Otto, and Kody's Mom, for setting me straight on the PureVax rabies vaccine. It sounds like a good one, and I'm glad that my Vet uses it. I want the safest vaccines possible for my cats. I'll try to see if she'll let it pass this year. It's not required by law...although it's...

Thank you Sharky and Willowy for your answers. I don't legally have to have my cats vaccinated with the Rabies shot. If I want to take them out of the country then that's a different matter. We do live in the city, they are indoor cats, and no other animals come into the house. I had them...

Thank you all very much for your answers. I'm still not clear though. Willowy...are you saying that you feel that just one vaccine shot is good for the life of the cat? Or do you mean, using the same vaccine year after year? Actually, I just went and got the files for my cats. In there, it...

I hope this hasn't been asked too many times before.... Does anyone know if the 3-Year Rabies Vaccine is available in Canada. My two cats are ready for their rabies shot, and I would love to get the 3-year one. Currently they have the every year shot. I really wish that they didn't need it at...

I'm sorry for the loss of your sweet boy! Take it from me, and from all of us here...there is no easy or fast way to overcome the grief you are feeling right now. Do take comfort in knowing that the grief will pass...and that big empty feeling inside will fill up with the wonderful memories you...

Smart cat, too. Knows where the food is, and knows how to get at it. Hopefully the human sleeps alot and smart cat can eat as much as she needs. Hopefully she gets more to eat than the parasites. Too bad smart cat couldn't get herself to the Vet for a proper diagnosis.

Wow...wonder if Dreamcity treats everyone like this when she/he 'desperately needs help'? I feel sorry for the cat and kittens....please leave while you can.....your human doesn't sound too kind/patient/appreciative or respectful especially when so many tried to help....and he/she showed...

Perhaps get an x-ray done as well, to rule out any tumours. Long story short....my Phoebe....13yrs 9 months died with excellent bloodwork, no temperature, no diabetes....healthy heart, clear lungs, clear upper airway......but she had lost alot of weight in the previous 7 months...probably about...

I'm so happy that all is 'exposed' now and little Jackson is now known as Jacqueline!!! A compromise in name could be....Jackie.... I would certainly inform your former Vet as to the true sex of Jacqueline. I wouldn't expect any response or apology...but at least you know that you did the...

RooRoo....how is your cat today? Her symptoms sound so similar to what happened to Phoebe, who was also nearly 14yrs old. Except that Phoebe developed a cold...very stuffy nose. That's why I thought she stopped eating. She also stared at her water dish...and she was a water baby since a...

Yes, it's a Van Ness pet food storage container. I think I'll keep using it, but leave the dry food in its original packing...then there's no possibilty of plastic toxins leaching into the food. Thank you for your help!!

The container that I keep my cat's dry food in says: US Food and Drug Adminstration Food Contact Approved Plastic......I'm hoping that means that it's a good container in which to keep the dry food. I never thought of the problem before I read about it in one of these threads. It also has a...

R.I.P. all those lovable, wonderful kitties who weren't adopted by those here on Earth. They are now 'adopted' with loving open arms by sweet beings at the Rainbow Bridge. Run, play, snooze, hunt, relax, and have a wonderful time with all your new friends. You know that you are loved...even by...
