What Do You Feed Your Cat For a Treat?

Malyck @Malyck (3425) • Australia 5 Feb 08

I've recently gotten a kitten, a beautiful little girl whom I named Mia. She's just on kitten food at the moment, both wet and dry, twice a day, but in a month or two I want to start feeding her the occasional chicken neck, and...

RuneAmok My girls only eat wet food, so I use dry as a treat. They also get raw chicken necks for their teeth. I consider it brushing, they consider it food, so it works out well for both of us.

Great Cat Food

Rosepetal @Rosepetal (352) • United States 13 Jan 08

I just wanted all you cat lovers to know about a fairly new wet cat food on the market that my cat and I think is wonderful. I like it because it looks good enough for human consumption, and the Paw Lickin' Chicken flavor contains...

RuneAmok I'm not looking for a new food, but this does appear to be pretty good. No iffy ingredients and it says it's complete and balanced.

Are your cats being over weight?

yuriii @yuriii (150) • Hong Kong 21 Jan 08

Last time when I go to buy the food for my cat,the salesgirl asked me can I feel my cat's ribs when I touch it.And I said "NO."Then she suggested me to buy the food in low Protein and low fat.But when I take it to my cat, my cat...

RuneAmok That salesperson should be fired. That is lousy advice and thank goodness your cat didn't take it. I can't paste in the weight loss info for my blog, but if you go here you'll see it. It has tons of info and good...

Cats/Dogs: Tooth Cleaning (brushing teeth/dentist)??

Loen210 @Loen210 (1540) • United States 26 Jan 08

How many of you take your pets to the veterinarian to have their teeth/mouth cleaned? If so, how often, and how? My biggest concert is with cats. It is incredibly difficult to try and brush their teeth by hand. Though we buy...

RuneAmok My last cat had her teeth cleaned perhaps twice. I didn't brush them or do anything for her in that respect. The two I have now - I don't brush their teeth either, but I do give them raw chicken necks. That should keep them pretty clean, although I'm sure...

Do you think advice from a Vetrinarian is always right?

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 24 Jan 08

I worried about my new cat because he still won't come out from under the bed to eat, drink or try to get to know me so I called my local vet for some advice. I was told to just let him stay there and not to try to coax him out....

RuneAmok In this I think your vet is correct. When I adopted a 4 year old cat, she stayed hidden for 3-4 days. She didn't eat much during that time either. Although I now know that going without food for that long would be very bad, back then I didn't have a clue. I...

Has anyone tried brushing their cats teeth?

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12588) • United States 26 Jan 08

Have you been successful? Or is it a vets job. I hear it prolongs the life of cats and dogs. True?

RuneAmok I tried and failed. What I do now is to give them raw chicken necks to eat and that's an excellent way to keep their teeth clean. I used to believe that dry food kept them clean - but of course that's a myth.

What do you feed your cat?

rdolphingirl @rdolphingirl (361) • United States 27 Jan 08

I finally moved into a house in Dec. and was able to get some cats! I have been planning this for a long time. I learned awhile back that when it comes to feeding these lovely creatures that the commercial kibble doesn't cut...

RuneAmok You are so right! I found this out about a year and a half ago. I am feeding some canned food - Nature's Variety Instincts - and some raw. I tried commercial raw but it's just not going to work for me. So I get fresh meat from a local supplier (Taylor Pond...

Cat food brand

What brand of cat food do you feed your cats? We just got two, so I was wondering what brand was best.

RuneAmok "Best" is really a relative term. It depends on what's best for you - pricewise and availability and also what agrees with your cat. Any very good food may work well for one cat and not for another. That said, there are two groups of cat foods - crap and...

your cat's drinking water

scribe1 @scribe1 (1203) • United States 25 Sep 07

I read that cats should be given distilled water, not tap water. Tap water is polluted and has the potential to cause internal problems in cats, or so that author argues. Funny, I've been giving my cats fresh tap water all this...

RuneAmok Yes I have. Distilled or purified. Since I read that I've been filling their bowl from the pitcher we drink from. One of those Brita deals. I don't doubt those who say that tap water is bad and that purified is better. After all, many here in Milwaukee got...

Cat With Health Problems

angiemac4444 @angemac23 (2003) • Canada 26 Sep 07

My cat has been diagnosed with urinary problems. Last year I came home from work to find him laying on the floor, screaming in pain with a trail of blood going from the kitchen to the living room. I rushed him to the vet and after...

RuneAmok I do, but unfortunately I'm new here and I can't paste in my blog on this topic. I'll do my best in spite of that. That so-called "prescription" food is overpriced crap. It may technically work but it is inferior quality food. And if you're feeding the dry...

Licenses for cats that are strictly indoor cats? Ridiculous!

scribe1 @scribe1 (1203) • United States 28 Sep 07

My town government is crazy!! It requires a pet owners to get their cats licensed, whether the cats are indoor cats or not. Since I never have and never will allow my cats to roam the streets, I shouldn't have to pay fees for...

RuneAmok I passed my first stone a week ago. It took 5 weeks and all I did was increase my water consumption from next to nothing to nearly 2 quarts per day. There are no others waiting in the wings, yet, and I hope there never will be.
