My vet has always recommended wet over dry.  She explained that most cats prefer to get their daily water through their food and it keeps the number of urinary tract infections down and helps prevent blockages(especially in males).  As for nutritional value -cheaper brands in my book include...

I have talked to my vet. Because of the situation she had the same suggestion BUT she rarely sees kittens that are through the whole kitten vetting process before being put in new homes.  Usually when a kitten hits 8 wks they are given away ASAP and at 8 wks, there is still a lot that could be...

Some of you may have read my past posts and if you did, you know that I have a fabulous itty-bitty kitty that weighs less than 2lbs even though she is over 6 months old and I have been looking for her a playmate while she is still young. I thought my problems with the dwarfism were enough, now...

Very sorry to hear about Georgie.  I know it is hard and I know you loved Georgie very much.

She was previously diagnosed with pituitary dwarfism which is rare and can be caused by illness or injury at a young age, but I had a friend that decided she would pay for the testing so I could be sure and stop worrying there was something wrong(I could never have paid for the actual testing on...

My cat looked like an alien with buldging eyes, a huge head and the large nostrils until about 16 weeks. Sweetpea looks like a normal kitten now and is starting to get more adult looking features.  Your kitty may grow out of it too.  My vet had told me it was ok...don't worry unless you have...

Cats use smell primarily but they have to recognize visually too. Years ago I had a cat that had to go live with my ex for over a year.  To me she was sweet as could be, but  we used to have to lock her in her bedroom when we had company or someone would end up bleeding. After a year of living...

Thanks fo rthe reply. It is nice to know someone else having the same situation!  I have talked to a lot of people including a vet who owned a record holding small cat, but no one seems what to do or what to expect with these tiny babies LOL. Even the vet I spoke with didn't know about the...

Just an update on my little furbaby.  Her age was pinned down to an exact date (momacat owner's teenager had the date written down) .  She is officially five whole months today.  She was weighed last night and she is a whole whopping 1.8 lbs LOL...She definately has pituitary dwarfism.  She...

I hope she catches up.  Will keep you posted on her weight.  We already have another appointment with the vet in 2 weeks to see if she weighs enough for her vaccines.

A friend's cat had a litter of 7 living and 1 stillborn.  Momma cat is very experienced mother. Mom is around 8 lbs, all adult siblings still in contact are between 8 & 10 pounds, 6 littermates are all above 1.5 lbs and the daddy possibilities look to be about 10-12 pounds.   Kitty number 7...
