Hello everyone, I have a very sick cat and was wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this before. My cat Charles (~4-7years old) started throwing up last Thursday at 9:30 in the morning and continued throwing up all day and was starting to get very lethargic in the evening. Fearing a...

Diane, I wish you and your daughter the best of luck. No one should criticize your decision or look down on you for doing what you feel is best for everyone involved. I don't recommend declawing for the average situation, but I'm also not sure it's the monster some make it out to be. I've seen...

I've been watching this thread for quite some time too and am amazed with your strength in battling this illness. My heart-felt prayers have been going to you and Dylan, so please take comfort in knowing that we hope Dylan overcomes this. (((hugs))), I know what it's like to have a very ill...

Tiger Lilly (outside cat) is eating Chicken Soup Dry. Sassy and Buddy are on a diet, so each one gets: 1/3 cup Chicken Soup Lite dry and 1.5 oz Nutro or Natural Balance wet food a day. No supplements. Treats are either the new Nutro treats or Bil Jac.

I'm so glad Sally is doing better. We'll continue to send good thoughts and prayers to you guys.

Buddy has gotten stress-related UTIs before. One was shortly after we brought him home, the other was triggered when we got new floors put in our house. I thought it might be food-related at first, but I don't think that had much to do with it. I've been told that increasing the wet food content...

I've never heard anything about cruel animal testing and Diamond. All I know is that my cats do well on the Chicken Soup and my dogs do well on Premium Edge, so unless something strange happens, I will continue to feed them.

We have a 5 cat/dog limit in our town, and we have 3 cats, 3 dogs, 1 cockatiel, and 1 rabbit. The animal shelter, who also does pet licensing/animal control, adopted out Nellie (our 6th cat/dog) to us fulling knowing this, but they also know that we take great care of our pets. If we wanted to...

Yes it is, so be careful people! Nellie, my beloved 6.5yr old Australian Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix, was bit by a rattler nearly 3 weeks ago (March 16) on a hiking trip at Enchanted Rock (a huge state park in Texas). She put herself between the snake and my little sister (who was only a few...

I agree with what nern said about corn: it isn't always a bad ingredient. Also, corn gluten meal can be used as a urine acidifier in high quality foods (as per Natura): http://www.naturapet.com/display.php?d=ingr-wiz

What a purdy girl! My older gal (13.5yrs old) had her teeth cleaned last year and, except for a bit of vomiting after waking up, did wonderfully. Glad to hear your kitty did fine.

I don't think Purina ONE is a bad food; you could certainly do a lot worse. We fed the Chicken and Rice a few years back and the cats did fine on it. Here's their website: http://www.purinaone.com/default.asp?ICDB_Session=1 Although, I do think the Chicken Soup is cheaper. We paid $16 for 18#...

My cats are free-fed dry and get approx. 1 ounce of wet food the evening.

I've always been told not to mix raw and kibble together because they are digested differently. When I give raw things to my dogs, I always keep it separate from kibble and would assume to do the same for cats (mine won't eat anything raw and I don't push it on them). I would also have concern...

Eukanuba Weight loss for Sassy and Buddy. Our outside cat eats Iams original. They all get about 1 oz of wet food in the evening (Iams, Nutro, Pro Plan, Natural Balance, etc). All are doing well.

Very Cute!

23/24, I missed the toliet paper one. Neat quiz

Why not buy a bag of each and see which one your cat prefers/does best on? I have no personal experience with either food, but the only way you'll know if your cat will do well on a food is to try it.

I've never seen or heard of these brands, but it seems to me that a lot of things in their ingredient lists are there to appeal to the owner rather than give exceptional nutrition to the cat, but that's JMHO. I don't think there's any real reason to avoid brewers yeast in a food. It can be an...

Congrats on the new cat! She sounds very pretty. The first thing you need to do is get her checked out by the vet-20 pounds sounds pretty heavy to me. Make sure you get her thyroid checked and that everything else is healthy before attempting a diet. Depending on how overweight she is, the vet...
