    Cat isn't using bathroom...

    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...

    Recommendations & Guidance Request

    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...

    Opening a Can of Worms??

    Pardon the pun on the title... Jozie eats her dry prescription kibbles. Nothing else as her primary meals.  She presently does not eat any wet food.  I had to transition her from regular dry food to her prescription food about 1 year ago. It took about 3 months to get her transitioned over to...

    Food Sprays/Toppings - Flavor Enhancers

    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...

    Drastic Diet? Thoughts...?

    Adopted a cat yesterday. She weighs 11.47 lbs. Both the shelter and a new vet recommended that Josie should shed some pounds; I agree.  Both the shelter and the vet thought somewhere between 9-10 lbs would be ideal;  I also concur. That said, it is my understanding that the average cat should...

    Sheba fell off the bed late Friday nite

    While playing with her toys, Sheba took a hard spill off a bed onto a hardwood floor, and rolled into a dresser alongside. She yelped, but seemed okay. Early Saturday morning we noticed she was noisy and carrying-on, but assumed it was her yelling for her breakfast (she normally does this...

    Cat Gravy?

    LOL. Sheba is a bit of a finicky eater. If it doesn't have gravy or if the preparation isn't in pate form, she tends to shy away from the food. Does anyone know if there's an easy way to obtain gravy, or if there is a specific product, that I can add as an adjunct to her food? Clearly I could...

    Cat NooB - Thoughts on Food Intake

    I've had Sheba since January. She is my first cat. She is 13½ y/o. In January she weighed 9.2 lbs. Her coat and her whiskers were awry; lots of shedding. She started out free choice with dry cat food, as that was all she would eat - Purina Cat Chow. I was happy that she was just eating; so...

    Hello from East Coast U.S.

    Hi Folks - I recently adopted my first cat from the shelter about 9 months ago in January. I found her adoption bio online, as my local county shelter features each of their animals on their website. She is a senior cat, about 13½ yrs, and her name is Sheba. She had been at the shelter since...
