    Tooth Care

    I had the same problem. When Festus was a kitten he had bad breath and the vets were not concern about it. When I took him in last August for his first annual checkup/shots the vets told me he had gingivitis. I could have cried, he’s only a 1 ½ years old. I fed him dry, wet and Feline Greenies...

    How long should I brush my cat's fur?

    I have a long hair cat and he likes to be combed while heâ€8482s eating. I comb him 2 to 3 times a day for about 2 minutes each. He walks away when he doesnâ€8482t want to be combed anymore. I have 3 combs and I rotate them. Four Paws Mat and Tangle Remover...

    stick/cordless/small vac that picks up cat litter?

    Ducman69 I have the same Eureka hand held vacuum. I bought it for the carpeted stairs and the rug Festus loves sleeping on. It does a good job sucking up litter and cat hair. I also use the Hoover Flair upright stick vacuum for the cat litter. It does a good job picking up litter off of hard...

    Better dry food comparable to Royal Canin Gatro Intestinal High Energy?

    There is FROMM Gold and Blue Buffalo Spa Select that has some grains. I've been using FROMM for a while now and I'm happy with it.

    TOTW wet

    Sounds like you are in the same boat as me. I did not have any problems getting Festus to eat good quality dry but wet food is another story. Iâ€8482ve tried many varieties and he just does not like. So far he will eat Friskies pouches and Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers. A couple weeks ago I did buy...

    TOTW wet

    My cat loves the dry but will not touch the wet. Just buy a couple cans to see if your cats will like it. The chunks are huge so you may want to chop it up a little and it's only available in a 3oz can.

    New Wellness Canned Varieties!

    Does the chunks look the same as the chunks in the pouches? Festus will not eat the pouches anymore. If the can version is different I would like to give it a try.

    Would this be OK?

    Giving cats some grain will help control the urine pH. If the catâ€8482s pH is too high or low he or she will most likely end up with UTI. The best way to control pH is the water intake. A lot of cats do not drink enough water. Another way is wet foods. If the catâ€8482s main diet is wet he or...

    The most beautiful bunch of kitties in the world *Picture Overload*

    The pictures look great. You have beautiful cats and a nice variety. What kind of camera are you using? My camera does not take good indoor pictures.

    Cat Emergency Kit

    I was hit with a tornado last year on June 21st. I grabbed Festus and went to the basement. We did not lose the house but it took major damage. I held him for 4 hours then finally stuck him in his cat carrier. He didnâ€8482t want to be held any longer and there was shattered glass in every room...

    My cat is smelly of poo

    Welcome to TCS. I had this problem a few times. I would give Festus a few treats and while he was eating that I would try to wipe. This method took a few days. Now I just get the butt fur trimmed every 6 months.

    Natural Balance Platefulls Grain Free Pouches

    I just got back from the pet store and they just started carrying these. I bought 1 of each flavor (8). I opened the chicken & Salmon and Festus took a couple of bites and walked away. The food looks exactly the same as the food in the Wellness pouches. I wonder if both are made by the same...

    Natural Balance Platefulls Grain Free Pouches

    Thanks for sharing your discovery. I didnâ€8482t know NB had pouches. I cannot wait to try them out. I hope Festus will like them so I can eliminate the Friskies pouches. Wellness pouches are $1.20 each so $.99 is not bad.

    Survey? What food do you feed your cats?

    Dry: Taste of the Wild and FROMM Gold mixed. Wet:Friskies pouches, FF Gravy Lovers and Weruva pouches. I am really struggling with the wet food. Festus does not flip over wet food and the 3 above are the only ones he will touch. He will not eat more than 1.5 oz a day.

    Wellness canned

    I'm having the same problem but it's with the Wellness pouches. The gravy is more like jelly and the chunks looks different too. It does not matter what flavor or store I buy them from.

    furminator removes the most fur from the butt?

    I have a himmy too and the furminator does not work for me. Festus's fur is soo thick and the prongs on the furminator is only about 1/4" in length. All it does is combs the top surface.

    Packing Up Poop

    I buy the cheapest brand zip-lock sandwich bags, box of 50. A bag lasts 1 1/2 days and when it's full I fling it in the trash. I only have one cat so a box last two months.

    Lotus Natural Food

    Has anyone heard of and tried Lotus cat food? Their food is not grain free but Iâ€8482ve been trying to find good quality grain food. They do not have a big selection in cat dry food (kitten, adult & low-fat) and nothing for wet yet. I havenâ€8482t tried this yet but I will buy a bag when I need...
