    Update on Sushi

    I have had Sushi now for 8 months.  9 months on March 29th.  From the moment I adopted him, I knew he was meant to be my little companion cat. His kidneys have not deteriorated much since the last exam, as he is eating his Renal with enthusiasm and drinking lots of water. He is not in pain or...

    My cat has a bad reaction to any canned foods

    I have had my rescue cat 6 months.  We already know that he has deformed kidneys but also would frequently stop eating and drinking which had nothing to do with that problem.  After putting him through all kinds of tests over a period of 5 months, medicating him, and then trying different wet...

    Does Anyone Recognize these Symptons

    Hi:   My cat Sushi is getting sick too often.  He does have underdeveloped kidneys, but so far he has been OK as I am feeding him fancy feast pates and Renal for Kidney function.

    Afraid to get my cat a companion

    Close Call and Advice

    Hi, this morning I got a real scare.  My Sushi figured out how to push the screen open from the latch.  Had I not awakened (the window is above my head in the bedroom) I would have not caught him going out the window and he would have fell to his death.  I was mortified.   He has strong play...

    Fancy Feast Pates

    My cat lives on fancy feast and special dry food that I get for his stomach and kidneys as he still needs proteins.  I wondered if Purina Pates are just as good?   I wanted him to have a variety - I just don't want him to tire of anything since I must make sure he is getting enough protein to...

    A fun question about behavior

    As my cat has grown more healthy and robust, he has started initiating hide and seek and attack games on me.  He suddenly puts his ears back and runs like a race horse into his tunnels and boxes out and in, bouncing all over, then he makes a strange meow.  When I come over he races out of my way...

    Taking Sushi to the Vet on Friday

    Hey Guys: I am not sure if I am panicking, but last night I noticed he was eating much less.  Then just for 1/2 a minute, he made a sound like he was choking a bit.  No throwing up or anything and I noticed he slept more last night before we went to bed than usual. This morning, he turned down...

    Sushi's seems bored

    My adopted rescue cat now wakes me up, to eat and to play.  I play with him several times before I go to work and when I come home, even though I come home at midnight.  I bought him Cat Boxes and Cat Tunnels.  Made places for him to climb, but he still cries when he is bored.   I thought he...

    What is the best food for our cats

    When I adopted my little Sushi, he became very ill and after he recovered, my vet told me that in the Sonogram they took, his kidneys were smaller than they should be.  Since he was a rescue cat, they were not sure whether this was a birth defect or something of a problem.  My vet said that they...

    How I found my Dream Cat

    Dear All:  It's great to have a forum to discuss our cats.  I was looking for a cat, not a kitten, as I work and do not have the time to raise a kitten and then have to leave it alone when I go to work.  Several cats came into my sphere.  One was a rescue cat.  I successfully re-homed him to a...

    An Amazing New Cat Litter - 30 day cat litter

    I had to share this with the Forum as I have shared it with my cat people at work. This litter is amazing.  You use half of the box.  It is natural clay.  It absorbs urine and crystallizes it so there is NO LUMPS. You just scoop out the poop daily.  If you have one cat, you don't have to change...
