Yes, Sissy has me well trained, I do the food warming and with her she is very fussy about location for feeding, it has to be where she wants it. I do have a second cat Boots who has the nickname HOOVER because she eats everything and given the opportunity she will steal food and that has...

I agree, the vet has been a HUGE problem with misinformation and I am getting the blood reports for myself to see because of that very thing of conflicting information, yesterday alone I got three different answers to the same question form the same vet. As far as her eating, I am going to...

As far as peeing outside the box, I had a cat that would do that when she was upset or I came in smelling of another cat...seemed to be a territorial thing. I built many different types of cat boxes and finally made one with a low entry that tipped out a bit like the top of a funnel and that did...

Regarding his weight, does he get outside much to romp and frolic and do cat stuff? Reason I ask is I have a very large Tiger Tabby we call Garfield who was at 18 pounds but with spring here he is now a lean 13 pounds and he is just a large cat, but the excercise seemed to have been the key for him.

She typically eats 3/4 can a day based on weight which seems pretty close as NB recommends 6oz or 1 can per 8 pounds. She frequently gets her raw chicken (white as a between meal filler of likely 3 oz a day) so there is plenty of intake it seems. Her latest blood workup was yesterday, I had...

My cat has a Hyperactive Thyroid and is being treated using Tapazole twice daily, latest blood test showed her at 1, Urine was normal, a bit lacking in Potassium, not diabetic yet she continues to loose weight and is now at 7.2 pounds down from 8.2 last November. She was lathargic for a couple...

Both my cats are over 15 years old so I need to be careful to give them food with the least amount of filler, that is why I used only the NB Chicken and Salmon.

I had been suspicious of why the Chicken and Liver Patte and Salmon NB cat food not only smelled strange but my two cats would not eat it when it smelled off (both smelled like cheap canned dog food), so I got hold of NB's Animal Nutrition specialist Kristi Choy, B.S. and this is what she had...

All I offer is what has worked for my cats based on real world experience, and what I have learned is that cats are very complex critters and that there is no pat answer that will work for all. Now, I have to get back to the more important issues, time to feed the cats!

What would be helpful would be the blood test results, but if Protein was specifically mentioned as part of the problem did they mention anything else like Potassium, Phosphorus or Magnesium levels for you to compare against as Kidney problems are often of multiple cause. For example, my cat...

Just speaking from experience and a lot of research when dealing with one cat with hyperactive thyrhoid and the other had severe Diabetes (over 800 and barely able to walk), both thanks to what I found about diet and put into practice, both cats are now medication free, blood work shows normal...

Try breaking the dry food into smaller bits, that will aid digestion and then work on moving kitty off of dry into a quality canned meat based food.

Best bet, if in doubt, give them a ring!

Just be sure it is indeed real chicken and or turkey and not a byproduct like chicken byproducts meat byproducts with chicken flavoring. Dark turkey is very good for cats because of its high protein and other minerals but they will tend to tire of it quickly because it is rather potent...

The source was Natural Balance customer service who informed me they did not actually make the food when I asked and that they supposedly have their own inspectors on site, they also told me about the ingredients being imported as well. The smell and other info is my personal experience and my...

Sometimes I found that dry cat food will tend to expand in the cats gullet, try testing your dry cat food by putting it into some water and see how much it grows, if its over 30% this could be part of the problem. Also, check the cats teeth for any gum or inflamation or a bad tooth. Check his...

Have been feeding my two cats Natural Balance for the past year but in the past eight months noticed their quality is somewhat questionable. The reason I say this is the two foods I feed my cats are the Chicken Pate and the Salmon ((because of minimal fillers) and both quite frequently (about...
