    How unhealthy is

    Simba's dry food is the Royal Canin Kitten food which is chicken based. It's Tiggy who eats the Salmon and Green Pea dry (they are fed separately).

    How unhealthy is

    Meow Mix's Market Selects? We tried feeding little Simba (or Simba Jr) the expensive "healthier" wet foods and most of it is usually left to dry in his plate. As a gift from a neighbor; we got a few Market Select containers and Simba polished that off like he never ate before. Fortunately...

    Roundworms?

    I was seen almost immediately; and Doc Mardinger prescribed Profender topical for Tiggy. He gave him the first dosage and I'll give Tiggy his second treatment in two weeks. In one month, Doc Mardinger wants me to take three stool samples (three separate BM's on three days) and bring those in...

    Roundworms?

    Tiggy was dewormed in October (sounds right) and the stool sample was negative, however; the litter box was shared thus it's possible the wrong stool was analysed. He's the only cat now, so the condition will be easier to assess. The Vet agreed to squeeze us between appointments tomorrow, to...

    Roundworms?

    I'm waiting for my break to call the Vet...I'm a bit worried about Tiggy. He was dewormed so I don't think it's the issue; still...he has vomitted a few times (three times I can recall) in the past 3-4 weeks. He usually vomits while I'm asleep (once when Sasha was still with us, once at my...

    Recommendations for a pet carrier?

    Okay, so I should be good then: Toronto- Montreal is about 5 hours (depending on traffic) and add another hour and a half- 2 hours to make it to my parents' home town... I'm just being a worry-wart! I'll give Tiggy some Pet-Ease before leaving (it does seem to mellow him out).

    Is adult cat food ok for kittens?

    Sharky might have the best information on the topic, but I think that if you feed Midnight a quality kitten food on the side, he'll get his full nutrition...what does your Vet recommend?

    Recommendations for a pet carrier?

    We're thinking of taking Tiggy on a road trip (to visit my parents) next week. I've made that trip many years ago with Geisha and Sasha (may they rest in peace) with much larger pet carriers in which I could fit a water & food dish, as well as a small litter box (don't ask, very DIY). The...

    Rest in Peace Sasha 1992-2010

    Thanks everybody! I take solace in knowing he is now with his love Geisha (my first cat, they loved smooching around some 16 years ago), and those other pets we sadly lost in the past. He is in good company!

    Rest in Peace Sasha 1992-2010

    Sasha was adopted from "a friend of a friend" of my ex-girlfriend back in 1992. He was terrified, had fleas and tapeworm. He was so frightened that he wouldn't eat the food I was presenting him. I dipped my finger in the food and held it under his nose to smell it. He began licking my...

    My apologies or yet another "separate" thread

    Just spoke to the Vet..I feel I'm dying inside...from what I've described to him he feels (and Dr White agrees) that it's time. Poor Sasha has suffered enough...I can't look at him knowing what must be done...I just took another Ativan - and I hate taking that crap...I need to get a grip...but...

    My apologies or yet another "separate" thread

    I took an Ativan (last evening) to take the edge off and it helped. I fixed the Futon with another comforter and brought pillows so Sasha would be nice and comfy. The futon is lower for Sasha to jump on and the big water fountain is right next to him if he gets thirsty. Tiggy was real sweet...

    Boiling a chicken breast. I also skinned and boned the thighs I used to make the "cat gravy" (I kept them in the fridge). Pulled my old meat grinder from the pantry and cleaned it. Knock on wood Sasha doesn't raise his nose on the chicken too... Edit Served Sasha some minced chicken with a...

    I do in fact...I might as well try that, 30 minutes after giving Sasha his antacid, he still raised his nose on the salmon food

    One a day, and Sasha just vomited the food I syringe-fed him...I don't dare give him anything by mouth!
