Love the "planted" cats.
-
Petite check with your vet. My vet indicated that some of the fancy feast cans were low glycemic, not the gravy lovers or the pate but the other one sorry name escapes me.
-
Petite, Wellness has cans of pate that are very very low carb. Squeakers loves the salmon and turkey. Our independent pet store carries it. I don't know if the big box stores do. Fancy Feast pate is pretty low carb. The gravy and sauce adds lots of carbs. Poor Ms Felix. Website catinfo.org has a chart of carb content of various cat foods.
-
so cute.
-
I checked on the internet and could not find anything in a local store. All was to be ordered. Hopefully Tuesday it will be in. All cats are behaving themselves this morning. Miss Felix has a new favorite place to take a nap, in front of the refrigerator. Maybe she is saying, if I can't get what I want to eat, neither can you. LOL
-
Can you call her vet see if they have anything in office you could get?
-
Diabetic cat food should be here today.
-
Oh good--bet you all will be glad of that.
-
he has discovered kitty tv.
-
Petite, Poor Ms Felix just looks miserable. I hope the good food helps right away.
Spookie, Pyewacket is adorable. Looks like your window sill is just the right size.
-
Agree re Pyewacket, what a cutie.
-
Good news re the food! Hopefully it has arrived and is already being devoured.
Spookie he is so right, Kitty TV is the BEST!
-
Miss Felix is happily eating her correct food. It may take a couple of days for her system to correct and the cat pot flooding might continue for a couple of days.
Spookiesmom, love the cat TV.
-
I woke up to a real mess. Squeakers evidently overturned his litter box last night leaving litter and product everywhere. The rug under it was clearly a great idea. I put it down to reduce tracking, but it more or less kept the mess contained. Maybe I'll look for a couple of bricks to put on the side to kept it from tipping. Poor guy. He's a very tidy cat and must have been really distressed.
-
I ordered this from Amazon because Spookie found his poo and ate it. The idea makes me gag. Maybe this would help your boy?
-
Hahaha that reminds me of when my husband and I had first started living together--he had a sweet Cocker/Basset hound mix named Max, and I had my Chloe cat. I told him we needed a way to have the door to the litterbox open just enough for my cat but not his dog to get in there as his dog would eat the poop. He told me very seriously "Oh Max would never do that."
And right then, Max came trotting down the hall with litter all over his muzzle. Yeah right, he will never eat cat poop. LOL!
-
Yep. for a dog that cat poop is pure chocolate!
-
Feline, laughed out loud on your comment! Thank goodness I’m the only one in the house
-
Nugget has tried to eat the kitty poo. Found a quick solution to that. Got doggy waste bags and I scoop the litter box when he is distracted by his dog food first thing in the morning.
-
I have to scoop the 4 boxes I have (for 2 cats) at least 2 x a day, because they don't like using them if they are not immaculate...
-
LOL. I have to do Miss Felix box 2 or 3 times a day, but Louie's is one time a day.
-
Squeaker's box is in my study so it gets cleaned very often. He'll wait for me to clean it before using it.
-
Wren, my girls wait until after I clean their box from the day before and overnight before they use it in the morning.
-
Feeding questions. How much, how often, and what.
The foster was feeding Rachel Ray kibble. I wouldn’t feed her brand to my dogs, so bought Science Diet kitten kibble. My dogs have done well with that over 40 years. He eats it well. Just free feed that?
Wet food. She was using Fancy Feast kitten. Hard to find!!!! He won’t eat the turkey flavor. Prefers the beef. Is the fish flavors ok for him? Idk if he likes them. Pate or gravy? Any brand better? I don’t give dogs fancy over priced high end foods, think that’s over hyped. So not for him either.
He’s eating what he gets, cute cat tree coming today to keep dogs out of his dish. Just not too sure about the food.
-
We use Fancy Feast gravy lover's for the adult cats as it's got more moisture, and the kitten pate for the girls--we order it from Chewy's. We also put in a 1 to 1 ratio of canned pumpkin in the boys' food, again for added moisture. I put a tiny bit in the kittens' food, otherwise they go looking for it in the boys' bowls.
I also have a water fountain for the cats, again to encourage more water consumption. Male cats are prone to crystals in their urine and to kidney disease so we're doing what we can to head that off.
-
Kitten food is probably best. It's higher calorie. We have fed IAMS to both dogs and cats. We're using Beyond grain free kibble with Squeaker's diabetes. Pyewacket will probably like fish. I've heard not to feed fish exclusively because fish has some mercury.
-
The canned kitten food is almost impossible to find around here. Have tried 3 different stores. Kitten season shortage? He had kibble around 7 am, 1/2 can wet about 1 and licked the plate clean. He will want dinner and a bedtime snack. Is that too much? Normal? He seems like a bottomless pit.
-
I don't think you can over feed a kitten. They just run it off. i wouldn't worry since regular wet food is lower calorie than kitten food.
-
Yeah they are pure energy burning machines.
-
I had a hyperactive son. Feeding him was like putting coal in a locamotive. Just made him go faster.
