Purina. I don't have a link but I subscribe to Pet Food Industry's newsletter and this was the most recent headline.

What are you feeding them? Please indicate if the food is wet or dry. I'm just curious. I'm not a big fan of the rx foods but I do feed some to my cat because he has a huge appetite but he is super picky so I rotate a bunch of foods. I include some of the rx foods because he'll eat them. He...

Hi all, I was wondering if any of you heard about or use this litter? I'm not talking about Shweat scoop litter made with wheat. I was reading Animal Wellness magazine and it had an ad for this litter. It apparently feels like soil, creates no dust, doesn't track and is guaranteed to eliminate...

Let me start off by saying I don't have much knowledge about caring for feral cats. I caught the show DOC ZONE on CBC this past Saturday but in the middle of the segment on feral cats. Well, that is just a guess but the point at which I caught the show was talking about a trap & neuter program...

(I am assuming that you free feed dry) do you put the food in the bowl and fill it up when it gets empty or do you measure a certain amount and put it down for your cats to graze(and not refill the bowl when it is empty until the next day)? And if I may ask, why did you choose to free feed as...

Hi all animal lovers, I am on a dating site and there are forums on it on which members can ask various questions. One of the questions was basically if your date had multiple cats, does that indicate mental illness? Let me qualify this by saying that the posters think multiple cats is three...

I'm asking this question on behalf of a friend of mine. Can you use cat litter for rabbits? If so, is there a specific type that should be used with rabbits? (i.e. clumping vs. non-clumping, clay vs. non-clay etc.) I thank you in advance for your help!!!

Hi, Sorry for the long title. I'm currently using Feline Fresh which I like because it's cheap and not that bad for me and my cats. But it's dusty and it tracks. I don't want to use clay because I read that it's bad for my cats' and my lungs. I also heard clumping litter is bad because...

Hi everyone, Does anyone know about Dr. Pitcairn? I've been reading his book, can't recall the exact title but it's about natural health care for dogs and cats. Since Schweppie has CRF, I was reading the section on kidney disease. In it, there is a recipe that contains ground chicken or...

Hi all, Is there a homemade food I can make for my cat who has CRF? I've been feeding him the wet Hills k/d and the Medi-cal Reduced protein - alternating because he gets sick of one type of food quickly. Well now he's sick of both. I gave him the k/d dry which he will eat. I'd rather not...

Hi, My cat, Schweppie, always wants to eat. He eats his food, my other cat's food and seems to always be hungry. He's not overweight but I'm actually concerned that he could be underweight. I feed him 1/4 can of Natural Balance limited ingredients (green pea + either Chicken, Duck, Venison or...

Hi, I am dogsitting for a friend and living at his house. Sometimes, when I forget to clean the litter box, Schweppie pees elsewhere. This time he decided to pee on my friend's bed. I used cleaner but I can still smell the smell....is there any way of getting rid of the smell? I now clean...

Hi, I'm dogsitting my friend's dog and living at his place during the week and at my place during the weekend. I've been going back and forth morning and night to feed my cats. I'm wondering how hard and traumatic would it be to move my cats to my friend's place? He'll be back during...

Hi everyone, I have a cat, Schweppie, who is probably around 8 or 9 years old. He has a hard belly. He had roundworms back in May but I just did another fecal test on him and the vet said there were no roundworms. He did say there were 'artifacts' of veggie matter and that these were...

Hi all, I posted a question about my Schweppie in the Cat Health forum regarding roundworm (Title: roundworm?) but part of the question was about food so I thought I'd pose it here. I was feeding Schweppie Wellness Grain-Free canned and Orijen dry (Turkey and Chicken). But last week, he...

Hi everyone, My cat, Schweppie, had to stay overnight at the hospital because he hadn't eaten for 2 days. Of course, as soon as I get him to the hospital, he starts eating the stinky a/d they give him (I work at this animal hospital). Anyway, it turns out he had diarrhea and has toxacara...

Hello everyone, I'm new here (obviously) and relatively new to the world of cats. I am a former cat disliker who took in a cat whose owner abandoned. This cat was so skinny and starving, I took it in. My plan was to find it a permanent, loving home. The poor thing was declawed and left...
