Maybe I did the math wrong?  Friskies says to feed one ounce per pound of body weight per day. So, 10 oz per day is what I thought. 

Hi. I have some more questions. It's getting expensive to feed my kitties. :( This last payday I spent over $100 just for their food and cat litter for two weeks. I can't keep doing that. That time I bought Wellness canned food, Natural Balance dry food, Petite Cuisine wet food, Halo wet food...

The estimate for her spay and shots from the vet was close to $400. So, I have to wait until my local spay/neuter program has a spot available for her at the cost of $80. I'm getting my male cat neutered on the 1st. Hopefully they will have a spot for females soon. 

I'm just curious if this is normal or if there is a health issue I should be concerned about. My black cat has mediumish black fur. Recently, parts of her fur have turned white/gray. Behind her ears is most noticeable, but it's also at the base of her tail and under her belly. Actually, I just...

Thank you! I do love black cats a lot. I have my younger one simply because he was black and someone was just giving him away. Poor guy. They get a bad rap and I didn't want him to be lonely or afraid or given to someone that would be mean to him. Funny enough, I grew up with a deep...

About 8 months and 15 months. 

I feed them twice a day plus one freeze dried liver snack. They are on wet food only. Today, he still kept trying to get to her food even though she was in a different room. He barely touched his own food. I had to keep picking him up and taking him back to the kitchen for his own food. Once...

We have a 6 month old male cat (Gunter.) We got him about two months ago, maybe a little longer. It's hard to remember. lol He has two main issues. The first is he is always stealing food from the other cat. Luka is a big pushover and just lets him take her food. :/ So, I've been feeding them in...

Thank you! I wish we could afford to feed more. I'd totally be a crazy cat lady with mostly black cats. I have heard they are the hardest to get adopted out and are not treated nicely. It's sad since they (in my limited experience) are such nice and laid back kitties. ETA: We don't have the dog...

Yeah, just one box. I'm not sure where to put another one. I'll have to find a spot. It seems to have resolved, though. I haven't noticed his poop anywhere else.  Could it have been that I used new litter? I added half new to the old until I could afford to get the regular litter that we get. 

We recently got another cat. He is about 18 weeks old now. We notice that he doesn't always poop in the litter box. I know he knows how to use it and where it is since he uses it most of the time, but why does he not use it sometimes?  Also, is it normal for his stomach to make gurgling sounds...

Thanks. :) Actually, Luka is a girl. lol. I have to keep the cabinets locked so she doesn't get in. :D Our gerbil is an elderly lady now. She doesn't do much, but the cats love watching her. Luckily, there is no way for them to get into her tank, otherwise they might love her too much. Heh. 

Ok, now I have found some raw foods that I originally thought were too expensive, but now see they may not be. My kitten is probably 2-4 lbs and my 1 year old cat is about 6 lbs. I'm horrible at math, so I'm not sure how long a 3 lb bag of raw food would last? I was thinking Primal or Nature's...

My nearest TJ's is over an hour away. :/ I mean, I don't know what the percentages on the back of the can mean. What amounts should I be looking for?

Thanks!

I will look into those brands. Thanks! I don't know how to read the back of the cans to make sure they are getting the right amount of nutrients, though. All I know to do is make sure there aren't any grains, minimal veggies, and that it has taurine. 

I don't know what LID is?

Thanks! I live in Connecticut. I usually go to Petsmart. Is Authority a good brand? They do like Fancy Feast, but I thought it was low quality,so I didn't buy more. I buy different brands each time so far since I'm trying everything out. I will try adding water to the Felidae to see if that...

Hi! I just found this site (Googling why my kitten keeps licking me. Lol.) I figure I need something like this site since I'm no cat expert or anything. I grew up with dogs, so cat behavior, nutrition, etc,are new to me. I have two young kitties, Luka and Gunter. I also have 4 kids, 1 dog (an...
