Q&A about cats from cat loving readers around the world
I have two adult male cats one of which weighs about 15lbs and the other weighs about 9lbs. I would like my “Fat Cat” to lose about 5lbs however both of my cats are fed from the same food dish at the same time of day. Does anyone know how I can put one cat on a diet without putting my other cat on a diet as well?
I have 2 cats. They are both overweight. We feed them Purina Naturals or something like that. We want the best, dry cat food designed specifically for overweight cats. They are adults, 5 and 9 years old. We feed them 1/3 of a cup twice a day, once in the morning, and once at night. We give them snacks throughout the day as well. I think we are feeding them too much. What do you think?
•How much food do they need each day?
•And how many times to they need to be fed that amount?
Did you know that there is no safe treatment for heartworm disease in cats?
Did you know giving a monthly preventative is the only way to protect your cat against this life threatening disease?
Did you know that indoor cats are just as at risk if not more than outdoor cats?
-As prevelant as Felv/Fiv
-signs include coughing,vomiting,gagging,weight loss
-Cats can be treated with prednisone but still face the risk of sudden death when a heartworm dies.
-Monthly preventative heartgard,interceptor,revolution and adavantage monthly are effective against heartworm disease.
This is not just another way for a vet to make money. It is a deadly disease that can be prevented.
I have three cats and in the past (3 different cats) I used lemon, orange and lime rinds to repell the cats from climbing up the tree. However, those cats actually ATE the rinds. Should I try this method again OR does anyone know what to do now?
I will keep the ornaments to a minimum on the tree and very few on the bottom. Before the tree is set up next month, I need an idea.
Help!
I have two female cats; they are both spayed. Every once in awhile it seems like every cat in the neighborhood comes to visit them. One of our cats, Kitty, also gets in the habit of peeing on things inside the house during this time. She doesn’t do anything else that makes it seem like she’s in heat. Even though they’re spayed, might one of them be attracting other cats? Is Kitty marking her territory? Any suggestions? I can deal with the cat visits but not the peeing.
I was using Tidy Cat multiple cats, but I noticed the last batch I bought (I go through about 80 pounds of litter a month) – they changed the formula. It’s more course and doesn’t control odor as well. Now (since the litter changed), one of my four cats is peeing outside the litter box. Any suggestions for a finer clumping litter that controls odor better?
