I'm not a fan of dry food for cats due to dehydration issues but I need to do a novel protein test diet. One of my kitties is allergic to just about every common protein. Chicken, beef and salmon are all out. In the past she would have no symptoms except getting a raging ear infection after...

I have a four month old kitten named Mouse who is having an issue with runny stools and an ear infection. I took her to the vet last week and they said she did not have ear mites. The vet said it looked like a yeast infection and put in an Oti Pack they said would last a month. The infection has...

I adopted a kitten on Saturday and went to Petco to buy a bowl and some other essentials. The employee behind the cash register said they had some clearance cat food and to my surprise it's mostly good brands. My cats are not picky and don't have food allergies so I picked up about 100 cans of...

I have a 9 year old fixed male named Gizmo and up until about six weeks ago a very senior female named Willow. They got along great but she passed away unexpectedly, which led to Gizmo becoming very needy and lonely. He spent a week looking for her in my apartment and now wants to be with me...

My female senior kitty has kidney issues that result in large amounts of very diluted urine. I recently switched brands of litter to one I can flush and everything appeared to go smoothly. She is suspicious about litter box changes, so I took it very, very slowly and the entire process took...

I have two indoor cats, a 12-year-old female named Willow and Gizmo, a 7-year old male. Both are neutered and have lived together peacefully for about six years. Gizmo sometimes jumps on Willow and they occasionally have minor face-offs where one takes a halfhearted swipe at the other, but...

One of my cats prefers to scratch on vertical wood surfaces. She was an indoor/outdoor cat up until I moved into an apartment 6 years ago, and doesn't like sisal or cardboard. I bought her a board that sticks to the wall, but after 5+ years it's starting to wear through. Before I got the board...

I have two cats, a 4 year old male named Gizmo and a 9 year old female named Willow. Gizmo is a hyperactive skinny little guy a bit over 7 pounds. He self-regulates his food intake and his weight never varies much. Willow, on the other hand, is 10.5 pounds and has had weight problems in the...

I give my cats Petromalt for hairballs. They both like it and it's effective. I see from product reviews on sites like Amazon that Sentry changed the formula when they bought the brand about eight months ago.why they would change the formula on something that has worked for decades is beyond...

I have used clay based clumping litter for years, but I didn't like how much dust it gives off, even the brands that are supposedly 99% dust free. I have two boxes, one for each cat. I decided to switch to one of the corncob based clumping litters. Both cats used both boxes, so I switched one...

My cats are not allowed on the counters. Willow stays off, but Gizmo has had a relapse. I know it's him because he knocked over a glass when Willow was accidentally shut in another room. He knows he's not supposed to be up there, so he waits until I'm gone or asleep. Last week I woke up to find...

Especially the part about the scratches while climbing Mount You. I got Gizmo when he was 4 months old. Since I like to wear capri pants, for weeks I went around looking like I'd gone clog dancing in a blackberry bush. http://www.cracked.com/article_19007...sing-them.html

I have to feed my two cats separately, because Gizmo always stops eating abotu halfway through and walks away. Then Willow snarfs up the rest of his food. I have been feeding them in separate rooms, with Willow out in the kitchen, and Gizmo in the bedroom. He'll eat about half the food, then he...

I got a Petmate fountain in an effort to make my cats drink more water. Well, Gizmo decided he was going to sniff it ALL OVER. Until he got to the ramp, and snorted water up his nose. He sat there in the kitchen sneezing for a good 30 seconds, with me laughing hysterically and Willow looking at...

Gizmo has always let me trim his nails when he jumps in my lap while I'm sitting at the computer, ever since he was a kitten. I keep the trimmers on my desk and just do them one at a time while he looks up at me adoringly. Last time he decided to jump out of my lap just as I was closing the...

A few days ago I noticed that Willow was winking her left eye a lot. She gets into play tussles with Gizmo sometimes, so I figured that they got too rambunctious and he might have poked her in the eye by accident. I was hoping it would go away on its own, but it was starting to get a little...

For one of my cats, bathroom time is time to make himself at home. Anyone else's cats do this?

Recently Gizmo has taken to jumping up and trying to grab food. I feed two wet food meals a day, and a little dry food before bed. Last night he jumped up and grabbed the scoop as I was lowering it over the bowl, sending cat food everywhere. I've also caught him standing up on his hind legs...

Most of the laser pointers I've seen require you to hold down a tiny button on the side that activates the dot of light. They love to chase the light, but it gets rather painful to hold the button down all the time when playing with the cats. Anyone know of any that have some kind of continuous...

One thing I've always wondered about wet cat food... Why is it that most of what you see at the pet and grocery store in 3-5.5 ounce cans, when most dog foods are usually sold in 13 ounce cans? I understand that most dogs are bigger than cats, but if you have more than one cat that all eat the...
