I got a beautiful tuxedo cat about 6 months ago from the local humane society, and he recently turned a year old. He is very affectionate and a great cat. I am also, however, considering getting a kitten who is 12 weeks old. According to HSAC (who is usually brutally honest about temperament)...
I've been looking at Natural Balance, Royal Canin, Holistic Select, Nature's Variety, and Blue Basics, but I'm open to suggestions. I'm admittedly hesitant towards Nature's Variety and Blue Basics. Nature's Variety includes clay which concerns me (should a cat even be eating clay?), and when I...
My ten month old cat has a very sensitive stomach, so I have started using grain-free, limited ingredient diet, canned food for him. I am wondering, however, if i need to stick to one specific brand or one specific flavor. I have been rotating Natural Balance Limited Ingredient (chicken, salmon...
My 9 month old kitten has been sneezing every now and again the past couple days. He also has a little eye gunk that usually accumulates over night, so I wipe his eyes every morning. Is it a cold, or could it possibly be allergies? It's prime allergy season here in NC, so I didn't know if it...
I am preparing to transition my nearly one-year old cat to adult food. When I adopted him at 5/6 months, he had been eating Blue Wilderness kitten (dry), but he continued to have diarrhea and horrible gas. When I eventually switched to Iams kitten formula (dry) that actually contains grains, the...
I would prefer something with chicken, turkey, lamb, or rabbit as the primary protein source. Kitty does not like duck, and beef and seafood give him some pretty gross smelling poo. Thanks in advance!
My eight month-old cat has been eating Iams ProActive Health Kitten formula. My plan is to eventually transition him to an adult food that is 40% protein for sensitive skin (his gets really dry) and a sensitive tummy (bless his heart). How old should my cat be before I transition him to this...
I have, but I have not done that because of a) costs (once I'm out of grad school and have a full-time job again, that may be a more plausible option) and b) I am so afraid of leaving wet food out for extended periods of time (when I'm in class or at my part time job). Also, I've read a few...
Both. The canned I give him is grain-free. The dry I give him is not because, as I stated earlier, attempts to put him on the grain-free dry caused bad diarrhea.
I'm just intrigued to know. When I first started feeding Squiggy, I fed him ONLY grain free. However, he turned his nose up at both Natural Balance and another brand (I can't remember off-hand), and while he ate the Blue Wilderness, it gave him terrible diarrhea. When I switched him to Iams, the...
Thank you for moving! I feed him on a schedule. He gets 1/4 cup of dry food in the morning, 3 oz. of canned food mid-day, and another 1/4 cup of dry food in the evening. The canned is never left out, although the dry is left out until I can get home to feed the canned at lunch. (And of course...
My 7 month old little fella is the gassiest guy on the planet. Seriously, the boy can clear a room with his gas -- which is quite frequent. He has been de-wormed and checked for all sorts of internal parasites. His stools are fine, but the farts are out of control (especially when he gets...
My Squiggy is a sweet 7 month old boy who has been neutered for a little over a month now. Currently I am feeding him 1/2 cup of dry kitten food and a 3 oz can of wet food (not necessarily kitten only at this point -- which I'm not sure if that's wise or not), spread out into three meals...
Squiggy is almost 7 months old. He is TECHNICALLY still a kitten, but he HAS been neutered. I feed him a combination of both wet and dry food. My question is -- when do I switch him to adult food? Do I still wait until he is a year, or do I do it earlier since he has already been neutered? (I...
I've been trying to transition my 6 month old kitten into a grain-free diet. His stomach could not tolerate Blue Wilderness Kitten, so I've been trying to move him over to Natural Balance Green Pea & Duck. He won't eat the Green Pea & Duck. Literally, he will not touch it. He would much rather...
