My cats loved them too, but I've switched now to Kitty Yums by Blue Buffalo, and they haven't complained ;). I hear good things about Blue Buffalo, and would definitely recommend :)

How is she doing?

I'm sorry about the little one. How long has it been since your cat held down the last meal? A cat really shouldn't go more than 24 hours without food as this can cause liver problems. If it's been longer than that, and the cat is not eating or drinking, I would visit the vet. In some cases...

Yarn and string are really dangerous to cats and kittens, as they can often get caught in the intestines and cause bunching of the intestinal tract. The intestines fold in like an accordion around the string, and the more they tug on it, the more the string cuts into the intestines. This is...

It could also be a bacterial infection, as these often look like ear mites. Did you get the kitten from a shelter? Often, that's where they get these infections from. No big deal. Have the vet check it out, and he/she will prescribe the appropriate medication. You'll have to clean the ears out...

I would have her fast for a bit to get the GI tract to calm down, since she keeps responding badly to foods and the vet can't determine what is causing it

Hi all, Just back from the vet. She's feeling much better and is pretty much back to her normal self, with just some occasional rumbling in her belly. No more vomiting or lethargy. No bad smell from the rear end either. The doctor said it's probably nothing to worry about - maybe she licked...

It could have been a number of things.. she could have licked some shampoo or eaten something or it could be from her overeating the past few days. She's feeling a bit better now and is starting to become more playful - playing with her toys, walking around the room, climbing up onto me. I can...

Also, I should mention in the past two days she has (in my opinion) been really overeating, as we tried to switch from timed meals to free feeding. I know sometimes overeating can be a cause of these symptoms, but that was yesterday and her vomiting problems are happening today, when she hasn't...

Hi everyone, this just seems to be a horrible week for our family, as one problem after another keeps coming up (if you've read my post about my older cat's nervous breakdown).  As some of you know, I have a 3 month old kitten. She's usually very active and playful, but this morning I came into...

We had the kitten in the room, as I was holding him. My cat would come up onto the couch and someone else in the family would pet her. We thought this would help relieve the jealousy/anxiety issue...

Yes, I realize I must have rushed the process, contributing to her stress and anxiety. What should my next steps be? I'm keeping the kitten isolated again as I did in the beginning and will let her cool down and relax for a few days. Should I keep them separated for longer? Or should I do the...

Anyone else have any advice or opinions? 

Thanks for the reply, yes I imagine we will have to start over, but it just seemed she was dealing with it well, because she wasn't hiding or displaying any kind of depression or aggression the past few days, even as she has been around the kitten - in the same room, on the same couch, etc. I...

Hi all, this will be a bit long, but please help me if you can... So a little over a week ago, I got a new kitten from the shelter - 3 months old, female. I already have a resident cat who is 11 years old. When we brought the kitten home, we first went through the scent introduction phase for...

I'm really happy to say my older lady has been out and about in the house quite a lot today, and has spent a significant amount of time in the living room, on the couch. It seems she's finally feeling comfortable enough to not hide under the bed all the time. She's still a bit tense, though, and...

Hi guys, thank you so much for your comments. I do realize that with a kitten, I'm going to have to make sure to really play with her a lot to get that energy out so she doesn't bother my resident cat too much, and I was prepared to do this when I adopted her. My older cat seemed to be doing...

Hi all.  So I have an 11 year old female cat who has been an only cat for the 11 years that we have had her. Today - this morning, to be exact - I brought home a 3 month old female kitten. I am trying to follow the standard protocol for introductions and have the new kitten isolated in a room...
