    Is it unhealthy to....

    Thanks everyone! I'm going to continue with the fishy stuff they love, but I will work in plenty of the turkey and chicken that they are okay with, for variety's sake. It's funny, I always thought my little piglet kitty would eat anything and everything. I put down some Merrick Cowboy Cookout...

    Dental Care.....

    I just went through this with my Misty. She had to have a cleaning and 8!!! extractions. I feel bad now, because she's so much peppier now and eats better, so I imagine her teeth were really bothering her before and I just didn't know it. In any event, a reputable vet will order blood tests...

    Is it unhealthy to....

    feed my cats mostly fish flavored wet cat food? I've read in a couple places that tuna and other fish should only be fed a couple times a week. But does that refer to the fish itself, or fish flavored cat foods? My cats adore any canned food that is tuna or fish flavored, the stinkier the...

    Yet another wet food question...

    I'm trying to find a good quality wet food for my 4 year old Misty. She just had most of her teeth extracted. She seems to really like soupier foods, lots of gravy, etc. I want her to have top notch quality, price isn't an issue. I've read such good things about Merrick, but I looked at...

    What kind of cat food?

    My two split a can of chicken wellness each day, plus science diet dry free-fed throughout the day. I used to have them on Nutro Indoor formula dry only, but one of my kitties had TERRIBLY smelly and wet bowel movements. So far, I've had great success with this combo, and their coats have...

    Possible problem with Advantage (warning)

    Yeah, apparently they were pretty shocked by it too. I guess it could just be made up to sell more Revolution, but I really trust my vet. And Revolution is comparable in price to the others and also protects against ear mites, etc. And apparently less than 1% of cats of an adverse reaction to...

    Stupid, but...what is a hairball?

    Okay good, I was worried that maybe something was wrong if they didn't have hairballs......

    Stool is supposed to be smelly, but this is ridiculous...

    Thanks everyone! The vet and I decided to try her one a new diet for awhile and see if that helps any. The vet wanted me to go with Science Diet dry, but I want to give some high quality wet food a try as well, so I'm giving her half a can of wellness each day plus the science diet dry. The...

    Stupid, but...what is a hairball?

    Should I be worried that I have never, ever heard either of my cats hack up anything since I've had them? I've never seen any throw-up either......

    Possible problem with Advantage (warning)

    I use Revolution on my two cats, and they tolerate it well. I only started using Revolution after I began noticing my cats with fleas......and yes, they are strictly indoor. My only guess is that I live in an apartment on the ground floor, and one of my neighbors has an outdoor cat that...

    Have you ever had a timid cat?

    My cat Misty is very very shy. When I was looking at the cages at the adoption place, all I saw in her cage was a kitty bed, turned upside down. I looked closer, and saw a paw sticking out. Apparently the volunteers always had to be sure that she had a bed to hide under. Anyway, I brought...

    Stool is supposed to be smelly, but this is ridiculous...

    Tell Asa thank you from Mrs. Walker! I did the whole wrapping her up in a blanket thing to make her take the pill. She was still mad. After the first two times, she would just squeeze her eyes shut when I wrapped her up and refuse to even acknowledge my existence. I tried telling her "there...

    Stool is supposed to be smelly, but this is ridiculous...

    Absolutely!! I felt really guilty about forcing Mrs. Walker into taking the flagyl pills (she fought me tooth and nail!) that I bought her some new toys at the pet store. Then I had to get Misty, my other cat, some new toys. I haven't tried a DVD yet though. I love to indulge them.

    Stool is supposed to be smelly, but this is ridiculous...

    Thanks! For some reason, I was thinking that a wet food would make her stool issue worse and not better. But as I'm reading more on fiber and its effects, I realize that I am misinformed. I switched them from Science Diet to Nutro after I got them, because everyone says its great and it makes...

    Stool is supposed to be smelly, but this is ridiculous...

    My 1.5 year old pastel tortie, Mrs. Walker, has had loose stools since I adopted her in August. They have always been a normal frequency, but just loose in comparison with my other cat. But in the past few weeks, the odor has been FOUL. Really, really foul. And it doesn't help that she...
