Note too - as I forgot to mention in my OP, is that I've ceased giving her any Temptations treats over the last 2 1/2 days, out of concern of her present situation... Thanks, again CheetahCats

Hi Folks - I was hoping that some of our more experienced members could provide some of their wise and sage guidance on this situation... Over the last week or so I've notice that Jozi isn't going #2 very often... And when she does go, it's small amounts about the size of of a tic-tac. A few...

Jozi is a rescue cat. I adopted her from the shelter when she was 8½.  She's now 12½. While she is an absolute sweetheart, the entire time I've had her she has disliked being touched on her back or sides. Her fur "recoils" and "flinches" whenever she's touched in those places. I've wondered...

Thanks for everyone's feedback and guidance! I greatly appreciate it :)

Thanks for the prompt reply. I appreciate it. Her prescription diet food is for weight management. She was overweight when I adopted her from the shelter 2 years ago.  She is now down to a much more healthy weight. I'm talking about only a few teaspoons of Fancy Feast a week. I'm more worried...

Hi Folks - Josephine's vet has put her on a diet. Her vet has switched her from the Science Diet Senior pellets to the Science Diet r/d pellets. Needless to say, Josephine isn't liking it very much. I wondered if anyone knows about whether there exist [safe] flavor-enhancing products I can...

Thanks for the kind words folks 

Below please find a few photos of Josephine. I adopted Josephine on Thursday.  The shelter estimated that she is about 7 years old.  I came upon her online profile at the local animal shelter, and decided to go meet her. She had been at the shelter since July.  Given the amount of cats who...

Thanks for the input folks. I appreciate it. I especially appreciate the links that you left LDG, and the extended time you took to providing details and background information! I checked out the links you had provided, and was unaware they had existed.  They are very helpful, indeed :)...

Thanks for your prompt reply, SevenWonders.  I appreciate it. I recently saw a sheet which listed the kcalories for each of the major cat food brands. According to it, Science Diet Original is 493 kcals per cup. Using lunidoo's post which lists the average amount of kcals a cat needs per...
