Cats are so smart! Mine tried the toilet several times and then quit...would have been funny to see how she did it. Either had to straddle or just sat on one side???

Hello, You are to be commended. What a big heart you have! It's so gratifying to know people like you are out there caring for these poor creatures. You will be rewarded in Heaven some day for sure!

Good for you. I fed one of my previous cats different Purina varieties. She got fat (up to 16 lbs.) but never got sick. I put her on a diet and she lost the weight and maintained a healthy weight until she passed at 18 1/2 years old. I still miss her every day and she's been gone almost 8...

You're right about mixing the wet foods...I put the new wet food over the old as a topper. I didn't get into that cause I didn't think you'd be interested. I never give "people" food leftovers, though, except for Tuna liquid from canned Tuna as a kind of treat when I open a can of Tuna for a...

Sorry to have bothered you. You're right, all cats are different but hopefully this will help someone else who didn't realize abrupt changes in food can make some cats sick. My friends are forever grateful to me for clueing them in...it worked for them! Good luck to you and your cats!

Mixing old/new food works with wet food too. They won't go hungry! They'll eat before that happens. In addition to my own cats, I have suggested this to friends with finicky cats and it worked well. They didn't realize they were making their cats sick by just putting new food in front of...

Mixing 2 dry foods together (new and old) to acclimate them to the new without stomach upsets works for both of my cats. If they do pick out the old first, they will still eat the new when they get hungry enough. Just leave it there and nothing else. They will eat it! You don't give up and...

TwoCats4Me: I just wanted to add a little info on cat diet as related to vomit/diarrhea: Cats have very small, sensitive stomachs and if you suddenly change their diets (wet or dry), they can throw up or get diarrhea very quickly. This is from experience with several of my own cats. Whenever...

I have 2 cats who were getting Fancy Feast moist canned food as a snack twice a day (about 2 tablespoons) each). Mostly they eat dry food. Starting in the past year or so, they threw up the FF about 2 to 10 minutes after eating so I quit buying it and get Meow Mix cups...mine like Real Tuna...

UPDATE: Katie got a clean bill of health today from the vet. The lump on nipple was a benign cyst. Vet drained it - full of clear fluid. He said it may or may not come back and if it does and grows bigger to bring her in to check it. What a relief

My 12-year old cat Katie has a marble sized lump on a nipple on the lower right side. I read the stories here and am afraid to take her to the vet and possibly hear that she has cancer. I adopted her (a stray) at about 15 months old. She came into the shelter pregnant and had 4 little black...
