Agree, those names are great @Catnurse!
And what a fine collection of kitties.
Is baby Ducky the latest addition to indoor cats, and if so, I hope healthy too. Ducky looks like a fun ball of fluff that will be able to add nicely to the trouble Tupac, Biggie and co' get up to.

Welcome Catnurse and glad to have you here. Your cats are beautiful and love their names. I will be sure to remember that you are here and hope to be able to learn a lot from you.
I look forward to hearing about your cats and their escapades too.

Welcome and your cats are lovely. Hope you enjoy the forum.
Hi there
I joined today also!
I have a request.
I have an overweight cat Peebo that I hope to get him to lose weight slowly
over the spring and summer months by putting him on canned Friskies food
that is what I can afford..I have 3 male cats..out door and inside depending on
the weather.
I have had to clean Peebos rear for the last 3 years several times a day
with very wet papertowell and then went to using no scent no fragrance human
baby wipes.He is extremely messy...on the rear......
Is there anything better I can do to clean him several times a day?
Will getting him off the dry no grain cat food he was eating the past year
will that make him defecate less and make less of a smearing mess on the rear?
Since going on canned food the last two days ..starting it they are not using the litter
box like they were on the dry grain free food that was expensive food but dry..
Is there a difference ..will the canned not irritate the intestines as much and not cause
so many bowell movements as the dry grain free food did?
After 90 nights of cleaning the litter box at 2 am , 5 am, ll am and around 10 pm a night
and getting up to clean the big cat Peebos rear when I heard him go down the hall to use the
litter box, I am totally worn out and just exasperated..physically from caring for him..
I got one break last night when the outside temp was in the fifties and they all slept on
fleece blankets on the covered high off the ground front porch.
For those of you who had children, I feel for you
as you must have went without sleep for a few years per child
you had.....you poor fathers and mothers too..and grandmothers
whoever was the care giver to a child.

Welcome
Best wishes to Peebo
Hi SheriT & welcome as well. I would say if your cat is pooping a few times a day, there is definitely an intolerance there, if not an allergy of some sort. How terrible. Poor boy!
(I think the norm is once every other day, even less for those on raw).
Yes, wet food should be better on his tummy, & for him. If not, you may need to start looking at ingredients that he may be reacting to. (& trying a limited ingredient wet food).
The first thing I would ask is, is the dry food grain free?
This would be the first & easiest thing to eliminate by going grain free. As many on this site will tell you, cats do not need any grains!
Why they put them in the food is beyond me! (Fillers!)
Sense you said Friskies is where your budget it, It has been recommended on here that if you have to go w/ that, then the Friskie's Classics is recommended
because they have no or very little grain,... I think.
I'm sure someone else will be along soon who can offer you more help, but I just wanted to give you a little info to hopefully help.
You should start your own thread to get some answers & guidance from other members. I hope this helped a little at least for now..

Welcome, that's a lovely kitty.
Good idea
will start a thread..
Great advice from you and a couple other members..
I am so grateful..I have had cats all my life
but never had an obese one and only one with
urinary disease back before people knew much
about it .
I am making notes and just totally overwhelmed
I have some illnesses myself and at times
I have brain fog..and fatigued from CFS and
more.
Taking care of 3 cats that are up all night
banging at my bedroom door and cleaning the litter box
and one of their behinds..rear is totally exhausting me
with CFS / myalgic encephalomyelitis ..illness.myself.
So thank you so much..
