Thanks! My first concern was health too, especially with her age. We took her to the vet 2 weeks ago and had a full work up done, and she’s in fantastic health with no issues. I’m hoping pee pads may help make it easier to clean up at least.

Hey everyone! I am in desperate need of some suggestions or ideas to help stop my cat from peeing! Here’s some information: She’s a 15 year old calico and she’s always liked peeing outside the box. If she can find a spot, especially if it’s soft or carpeted, she will go for it. Over the years...

Hi guys Just wanted to post an update. Unfortunately we had to put our Dez down on July 14th. We took him back to our vet for additional testing and they found nothing. He kept losing weight (down to 8.2 lbs) and we were force feeding him. Our vet had us see a specialist. They did their exam and...

Just wanted to give an update.... I took my Dez in today for blood work. He did a great job-the vet said he was a perfect cat because he was so relaxed and calm, and didn't try to fight back at all. He had trouble finding a good vein, and after a couple of sticks got a small amount of blood...

I did get some baby chicken food-he would lick a little of it, and now he won't even touch it. I've also tried boiling/baking chicken and salmon and he wouldn't touch it. Also tried canned tuna (which he always ran to when I'd be making it for me), and nothing :( I'm losing my mind trying to...

He did check his mouth and teeth. The vet says they look fine-a little plague, but nothing he felt would get in the way of his eating. I personally feel his teeth have become a little sensitive and it's easier on him to eat the soft food, but that's just my opinion (he seems to eat differently...

My 13 year old male cat has stopped eating. He's always been a picky eater, but this is a whole new level. I have been trying all kinds of food-wet, kitten, dry, etc. We took him to the vet last week. Our vet didn't seem super worried-said it could be diabetes, thyroid, kidney issues OR just...

Thank you! I've heard baby food recommended before and will try that. A vet trip is scheduled for the week-my vet had a heart attack and has odd office hours due to his health so we're going in on Friday. These are great suggestions for the meantime until she gets checked out!

We took her to the vet about 9 months ago because I was worried about her mouth-it looked like she had a sore.  My vet basically said it was fine, just a minor irritation and didn't even charge me for the visit because he said I was just being overly concerned :)  At the time, he said she was in...

I should mention-here is some of what I have tried this last year.  I have probably tried a couple of others, but these are the main ones.  I have also tried giving her canned pumpkin but she REFUSES to eat it.  Like, that is the first thing I have ever seen her NOT want to eat or try which is...

Hello, My 12 year old cat, Lucy, is giving me some trouble when it comes to food.  In the last year or so, she has lost a little weight.  I think some of this is bc it is harder for her to eat the crunchy food and the other part is we have a third cat now that keeps her more active.  Last...

Hello, My 12 year old cat, Lucy, is having some tummy troubles.  For the last month, she will sporadically have a day of diarrhea.  I've tried narrowing it down and everytime once I think it is OK, she winds up having another case of it. I've been feeding her boiled chicken and rice.  This...

Awesome!  The egg yolk seems like a really easy thing to try.  I will definitely try working that into her routine.  I'll look into the egg yolk lecithin too-she has always been prone to hairballs and I have never seemed to find anything that really helps her with them. Can I do both the egg...

Thanks so much for all of your suggestions and links!  I'm going to look into all of this and make some choices.  I just worry so much and I made the mistake of looking up weight loss in cats, and before you know it I was convinced Lucy had a million major things wrong with her!  I always tell...

Hello!  I need some help and recommendations for good, healthy cat foods.  I have 3 cats (ages 6-11).  I have noticed in the year that one of the 11 year old cats (Lucy) seems to be losing a little bit of weight.  Granted, she was overweight before so she is not looking malnourished or anything...
