Hi there, I've looked through the cat food ingredient spreadsheet (which I'm so grateful for!) several times, but it doesn't have the answers I'm looking for so am hoping someone here can help! I'm searching for a cat food from a big reliable brand that contains relatively few questionable...

My 14 year old friend, Nub, just had a rapidly escalating eye problem. One of his pupils became enlarged all of a sudden on Tuesday, and we took him to the ER, who referred us to an ophthalmologist. We went yesterday and she performed more tests and saw a lesion on the back of his eye, as well...

Hi there, My two cat friends are getting older (now 14.5 years old), and one of them (Christopher Robin, AKA Nub) has developed arthritis in his lower back, making it harder for him to jump on things. I'm looking for a few items to make his life easier: 1. A cat tree with small jumps in...

My 13 year old boy cat Christopher Robin (aka Nub) was diagnosed with arthritis in his middle/lower spine maybe 4 years ago in an unrelated x-ray. I hadn't noticed any real symptoms until this year, but now he sometimes has difficulty getting onto the bed, is sometimes stiff, and seems to be in...

Hi everyone, My 2 sibling cats Robin (boy) and Squish (girl) have both turned 11 this month. We have been living in the Netherlands for the last 2.5 years, where they have been eating a limited ingredient/novel protein diet of Trovet Hypoallergenic Quail canned food, which is just quail and...

Hey Everyone, I've posted a few times recently about my boy cat, Nub, who's 10.5 years old. A few years ago we moved to the Netherlands from the US, and since then he has been suffering from what seem to be seasonal allergies. This is the 3rd year he's had symptoms recur at around the same time...

Hi all,  So my 10 year old boy, Nub, has been having some issues. In a nutshell, it seems that he has recurring seasonal allergies. This is the 3rd year he's had similar symptoms around the same time of year. They include: Excessive licking, head shaking, skin rolling/twitching, general...

Hi everyone, My 10 year old boy, Robin (aka 'Nub'), has been showing a whole bunch of symptoms recently. We moved to the Netherlands from the US two years ago, and since then he has shown symptoms that seem to be seasonal allergies every year from around October/November to around...

Hello all, I have written a few posts recently about my 10 year old, indoor-only boy Nub, and what has been going on with his health. Primarily, he has had ongoing constipation for the last few months, with one bout of very-near obstipation (I think from too much Psyillium Husk). Nub has been...

Hi everyone, I have been posting recently with regards to my about to be 10 year old cat (his birthday is tomorrow), Nub, and his recent constipation issues.  Unfortunately, I just came home to a different possible issue. I was away for about 6 hours and came back to find that one of the cats'...

Hello all, My two cats, Christopher Robin (we call him 'Nub' because of his nubby tail) and Squishy Squish (we call her 'Squish' for short) have their 10th birthday coming up on Feb. 10th.  They are currently eating Trovet Hypoallergenic Quail food, because they have been having allergy...

Hi everyone, I posted earlier about my almost 10 year old boy cat Nub and how he was given an overly large amount (1 teaspoon) of psyllium husk (metamucil). Well I'm pretty sure that is what has caused the current situation.  After he refused to eat and was having watery diarrhea he ultimately...

Hello fellow friends to cats, My almost 10 year old cat Christopher Robin (we call him "Nub" as a nickname because he has a short, nubby tail) has been having some constipation issues recently. The vet prescribed laxative for a couple of days (Laxatract) until the stool was soft, and then I was...

So, I took Christopher Robin (almost 9 year old DSH) to the vet again today, after he peed 6 times during the night, including a few times this morning in close succession.  She tested his urine and his blood again. All of his blood work came back normal, and his urine came back mostly normal...

Hey everyone, I've now posted a couple of times about Christopher Robin, who has been showing a few weird symptoms and then had 2 teeth extracted the day before yesterday. I've been keeping a close eye on him since the anesthesia, and have a few concerns. The first and most urgent is that...

Hey everyone, A few days ago I posted in another thread about my soon to be 9 year old boy kitty Christopher Robin having some health issues, and he had 2 teeth extracted today. I have a few questions about his meds, especially the pain killer situation. The vet gave him an injection of...

hey everyone, my 8 (soon to be 9) year old kitty, Christopher Robin, has been exhibiting some strange symptoms and I'm not sure what to do.  It all started a few weeks or maybe a month ago when I noticed that he was trying to hump his sister more frequently, and would take his penis out more...

I'm about to move to another country with my 2 cats (Christopher Robin and Squish, both 8 years old). I feel pretty strongly about not putting them in the cargo hold, and would like them to be in the cabin with me. I've done some research and finally booked a flight for us on KLM. However, they...
