Laura H, Do you mind sharing why Paisley only lived 2 years? I fostered a kitten ( Leo) when he was only 4 weeks from a shelter. I adopted him along with his 2 sisters in 8/2011 after my 19 years old Purry passed away. According to the shelter rule, in order to 'officially adopt' the kittens...

Just FYI- I adopted my UTI cat from the shelter when he was 8 months old. I'm sure he was on dry food only at the shelter. I fed him Orijen and Fromm dry. After 3 years of eating these dry food, he developed UTI crystals. I've also noticed that he barely drinks water!!! I have fountains, water...

I agree with KittyCort about dry food. My Purry cay lived over 19 years and was on dry food only - Purina and IAMS until he was 18 when my vet told me it's better to put him on wet K/D since his kidneys started to deteriorate..... I didn't know anything about dry food or wet food issues after my...

Ok I'll try the scheduled feeding but not sure if the timed feeder will work since I have so many cats on different foods- 3 kittens ( 8 months old) and one doesn't like dry food. I had a hard time to wean these kittens because mama is around. They were still nursing up to almost 5 months ( on...

Is 2X per day enough? Is it ok not having food around for 12 hours when you are not home? One of my cats is almost 17 lbs and the vet said she is boarder line obesed. I put her on different diet food but nothing works to get her lose weight. I lock 3-4 cats in a room during night time and have...

Isn't that the more you read and more you educate yourself about cat foods, the more you don't know what to feed them? I've heard that good quality dry foods are better than canned food with low quality ingridents, but have also heard that any wet food is better than dry food including...

Answer to Molly92- yes my cat was on dry food 95% of the time when he developed the crystals. The dry foods he ate were Orijen, Fromm and Pro Plan Weight Management. Pro Plan Weight Managemnt was recommended by my vet and he told me it would prevent him from developing crystals, and he was...

Kittens mom - so sorry about your Kitten... Yup I agree that there are some bad ingredients in some canned foods. I try to avoid any grocery brands or the super cheap canned foods. I kind of think you get what you pay for... Hi missmimz, I'm so glad that you have 10 cats, similar situation...

I'm going nuts researching cat foods for my 8 adult cats and 3 kittens. After my beloved Purry passed away ( He lived 19 years, 7 months and 10 days), I adopted 3 kittens ( now are adult) from the shelter, 2 'foster failure' and became my cats from volunteering, 1 stray kitten ( now is adult)...

My almost 4 year old sweet tuxedo (Tucker) cat was diagnosed with UTI crystals on 11/2014. After putting him on PUrina UR St Ox cans for only a couple months with other dry foods his UTI crystals came back again on 8/2015. I was not happy with the previous vet's diet treatment on his UTI with...

Yeah mama did walk away but the two little kittens chase mama for milk. Then mama cat would lay down to nurse for like 30 seconds then walk away again. It repeats....

Thank y'all for sharing the experience. Y'all have beautiful/handsome kitties! Now I feel so much relieved. Yes I'm trying to wean off the kittens by introducing them wet/dry food, and water is very important too. Most of my adult cats were adopted from the shelters when they were 4 or 5 weeks...

Thanks sarthur2! Tiger is doing fine, playful and wants to drink mama's milk. I introduced her some wet food mixed with kitty formula today and she ate some. Two of her siblings are already eating normal dry cat food. But they all want to nurse since mama is around. I don't know if she has...

My 7 week old kitten Tiger ( was born on 5/13/15) bit off and swallowed the nipple tip last night..  :(   Her mommy was a stray found pregnant, so I took her in. She has 4 beautiful kittens. Two of them have started to eat cat food, but another two - Tiger and Peanut still want to nurse and...
