So I have been using the catinfo.org website for many years now, ever since my cat developed urinary issues at the age of four. He is now 14 and has early kidney dysfunction. Hes been on a wet food diet since the urinary issues started. I used to think Dr. Pierson was really reputable and...

Hi all. If you go back and read my previous posts you will see that I have been having issues with my blind cat Luna. I have tried every calming product on the market, spent hundreds on a cat behavioralist, taken her to the vet multiple times and nothing has helped. My vet put her on gabapentin...

I posted about this a while back I believe but I will try to briefly explain the situation. I have a 3 year old cat and a 13 year old cat. I got the 3 year old Luna when she was about 2 months old. She got along with my other cat perfectly even after she had to get her eyes removed. Never heard...

Hi everyone! so I'm on the hunt AGAIN for a new type of wet cat food. My boy cat has a history of UTI and cystitis and had to have the PU surgery. I've had him on only wet food for years and previously was giving him some of the most expensive food available. But due to budget I started buying...

My cat has had a history of UTIs and when he was 3 he had to get PU surgery because there was "sludge" in his bladder causing him to get blocked. My vet said that some cats are just more prone to UTIs and even stress can cause them... Before the PU surgery he was eating whatever generic dry food...
