Hi there, I want to thank everyone in advance for reading through my wall of text because Waffles has a medical history that I thought would be relevant to my current situation.
Cat: Waffles, make, 2 years old, ragdoll
History of: UTI, urinary crystals, inflamed bladder
Ultrasound images...
We've been flushing this litter along with his poop for 2 years. Sometimes the clumps are like the size of a grapefruit so I drop it from a distance so it breaks apart when it hits the toilet bowl, but otherwise we've had no problems with clogs or odor or anything. The bag itself even says...
I currently have a 2 year old male ragdoll, who is super gentle, sweet, and affectionate. I work from home, so while I am with him 24/7, I can't give him attention when I'm working (the typical cat lies on keyboard stuff hehe). I feel bad that he just has to sleep or hang out silently for a...
I have a 1.5 year old ragdoll, and he's a very mellow, sensitive boy. Any toys with loud noises (hard balls, bells) scares him, so I bought an abundance of small poof balls, crinkle balls, wicker balls, bouncy balls, hair ties, crumbled paper, coin rolls, etc. and he is literally bored of ALL of...
My 1 year old male ragdoll just recently been diagnosed with FIC, and the vet put him on gabapentin, 25mg 2x a day for the next couple of weeks to help and to reduce his stress. I've noticed that he gets very sleep on this, and just kind of lays about. He also doesn't purr or do the kneading...
Our 1 year old male cat Waffles had bloody urine and difficulty urinating, so we took him to the vet and he was diagnosed with FLUTD and the vet wanted to do a urinlaysis to be sure, as he was ultrasounding the bladder for the urine, he caught a glimpse of his kidney and said we should do an...
Some back story: 1 year old male ragdoll, had struvite crystals in his urine early on, switched him to an all wet food diet with water added to his wet food every time and it got rid of the crystals
I went away for 3 days and my fiance was home with him, but he's usually glued to my side. I...
I have a ragdoll and he's shedding like crazy, just little floofs of fur EVERYWHERE. I'll pet him and little hairs will come off into the air, I snuggle him and my face picks up hair that I have to spit out of my mouth for the next 5 minutes. I have the zoom groom and a slicker brush and a comb...
After I stopped free feeding my cat, he's become my alarm clock in the morning so he gets his breakfast when he wants it lol. I thought this whole 'cat not letting you sleep' thing was a myth because he used to let me sleep until whenever I woke up to feed him, but now, at 7am he'll jump onto...
I know cats are territorial, cats hate change, cats don't like new places, and cats don't like cars.
However, we have to go to another city 4-5hrs away next weekend, and leaving him alone at home is not an option right now. We also live in a very rural area so none of my friends can cat sit...
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but it didn't fit any of the others. I want to add some plants to my house but when I was walking through the garden centers and looking at the toxic plant lists to cats, every single plant is listed as toxic... How do feral cats survive when there's...
Sorry for posting this again or having another one of these posts you guys must read all the time.
Some background:
10 month old ragdoll, male, 12lbs.
He had crystals and really concentrated urine a month ago so we put him on an all wet diet and we added water to his food every time to make...
Sorry in advance for the wall of text!
So I chose my vet based on reviews and how friendly/accessible they seem. They were highly reviewed and the staff are always friendly, knowledgeable, the place is clean and spacious, and they are open from 7:30am to 9:00pm, which is great. They follow up...
I am currently using the original green bag of WBCL, but I was curious what the other ones were like. The original WBCL tracks awful right now, and I was wondering if the red multiple cat one might be better since it claims to have tighter clumps or something like that. Does anyone have...
Hi there! I'm switching my 12lb ragdoll kitten to an all wet diet after the vet found crystals in his urine :( I've fed him dry and gave a small can (the 3oz ones) spread through the week as a treat. I feed Royal Canin and it's $1.69 for a small 3oz can, which gets really pricey if I'm feeding...
My poor baby has crystals in his urine and I'm waiting to hear back on the vet about food and water options. I was reading up on how prescription food is super expensive and doesn't have the best ingredients, and I don't want him to be on that for life. I've been feeding him mostly Royal Canin...
I was wondering for anyone else using WB, do you find that the litter remaining in the box smells after a week? I'm scooping multiple times a day, so I try to keep it as clean as possible, but after a week, the litter always smells. I used to change all the litter and wash the box every week...
Hi there,
I have a male ragdoll under 1 year old, we've noticed lately that after he goes to pee, his penis/pee area is wet with urine after. He doesn't urinate outside the box, and he's had consistent sized urine clumps. He has an uncovered little box with World's best cat litter ~2inches...
Hey guys, I've been feeding my ragdoll kitten royal canin kitten dry as her dry food. The breeder recommends it, and feeds all her cats RC (but she def. has some kind of promotional deal with them as she advertises it on her site). She said to us that cats need the grains in their dry food for...
I just didn't think this would actually happen, but I got so attached to my cat that the idea of leaving him for 2 days actually made me cry. Like legit cry. I put out a lot of food and water for him, got him extra litter boxes, even put on relaxing cat music videos for on a playlist for the...
