Looking to feed my 3 cats an all canned diet. They are 10, 16 and 22 lbs. Puck, at 22, does need to lose a few. But I calculated 6 - 5.5 oz cans per day between the 3 of them, which is 180 cans a month. Does that sound right? Obviously I'll spend what I have to to keep my babies healthy but...

My husband and I just added 2 cats to our house, making our total 6. I'm wondering how others in multiple cat households deal with the chaos of feeding and keeping a clean house. With 4 cats, I felt like I had a good system, but now with 6, it feels a little overwhelming. How do you deal with...

I trapped a litter of 5 ferals, about 7 months old. Tried to catch the mom, but she has been missing for weeks. The 5 kittens are in my basement (heated, carpeted). I moved everything that I could so they can't hide. If I can get close to them, they will let me slowly pet them. But they are...

My 5-yr old female's front fang fell out. Nothing left in the socket. Going to the vet tomorrow to see if the rest of her teeth have issues and to see if she has an infection. She seems fine, purring, playing, eating (dry and wet). Any ideas why this could have happened? I feed Taste of the...

I'm switching my overweight cats to an all-wet diet. I've been getting a good deal on Natural Balance LID cans - usually the chicken/green pea or the duck/green pea have been around $1. I've read on another thread that Natural Balance canned foods are about 14.0% carbs. Is that on the higher...

Our 3 week little guy that we took in is now 4 weeks according to the vet. I'm wondering at what point I should stop bottle feeding. He will take a few bites of the wet food, but usually stops and I give him the bottle and he'll take that for a while. Also I'm feeding him every 3 or 4 hours...

I brought in a feral kitten, probably 3-4 weeks old, eyes are a little bit blue, but fading. I found her in my shed and waited for hours for the mother to come back. It's getting cold out, and she's been crying, so I'm taking her in. She can walk pretty well - not wobbly as say a 2/3 week old...

I've posted recently about my 2 yr old male who frequently hacks or coughs, but no hairballs come up. I was told by the vet that his lungs sounded fine and that, outside of losing a pound or two, he was completely healthy. Well, he still hacks every few days. I may try a different vet, or ask...

I've posted in the past about two of my cats, Puck and Typo, who really dislike each other. Typo is a 4 yr old spayed female; Puck is over a year old and he's neutered. We got him and his sister when they were kittens. The few months after I introduced them went fine, but after about 6-8 months...

Our 4 year-old female, Typo, has issues with getting her vaccines. The last two years, she was given a distemper/rabies combo vaccine and both times ended up at the emergency vet (because my vet had left for the day). The first time she went into anaphylactic shock and needed a beneadryl shot...

We're taking our 1 year-old male to the vet on Friday because he's been hacking. I thought for a few weeks that he might have had a hairball, so I gave him some hairball remedy. No hairballs ever come up with his hacking and now it's happening at least once a day and I'm really scared. There's...

I have four cats - 2 of which are slightly overweight. The female, Typo is 4 years old and 17 lbs. Puck is just over one and 18 lbs. He is a big, muscular cat, but the vet thinks his ideal weight is 15/16 lbs. Typo's ideal weight is 15. I could tell at nine months that Puck was going to be big...

I posted over in the health forum about my one male cat who's been bullying my older female. It started out with him over-grooming his genitals, but that appears to have stopped. The bullying still concerns me though. We brought Puck and his sister (they are 18 months now) in one year ago (we...

For those of you who purshase the refills of Feliway for behavior issues in your cats, where do you get the refills from and what do they normall cost? Petsmart sells one packs for $18 or $23 and a two-pack for $29. Amazon has a 6 pack for around 64. This is obviously the better deal, but is...

My mother-in-law just took in a 15 year old male neutered cat. Indoors only. She had 2 older cats who passed away about 3 years ago, and always fed them fancy feast and whiskas. The male lived to be 18; the female was 11 and I believe ended up with CRF. The new cat doesn't have any UTI issues...

I have a male cat, - Puck - who just turned 1 year, who has started to lick/clean his genitals a lot. Definitely seems to be more than normal. He has no signs of straining, there are no accidents, he drinks normal and his output appears to be normal and has no crystals. I feed a 2/3 dry - 1/3...

I have 3 feral kittens and a mom who just moved in under my deck. I plan to foster them, take them to the vet and adopt them out, and get the mom spayed (if I can get a trap and catch her). the kittens are probably almost 12 weeks because they are eating dry food already. I was even able to...

According to Nutro's website, their Max Cat canned foods do not contain wheat gluten or corn. http://www.nutro.com/max-cat/kitten-...y-giblets.aspx But I am pretty sure the last time I bought it, the Turkey and Giblets formula for kittens read wheat gluten and by products on the label. I don't...

With four cats in the house, it's like feeding time at the zoo. I feed a combo of wet and dry (Taste of the Wild Dry in the AM; Avoderm, Chicken Soup Wet in the PM). My 6 mnth neutered male has become a vacuum cleaner, sucking up wet food like crazy. He's done with his plate before the others...

We have a 5-month old spayed kitten, Smudge, who has developed a cloudy left eye. She had an URI a few months ago: Sneezing, watery eyes and "clicking" sounds when breathing. She went through 3 rounds of antibiotics before it cleared up. She hasn't shown any other URI symptoms until now with...
