So this stray cat has been hanging around my place for awhile and we can't say no to feeding a hungry stranger. She's come every day for 2-3 months. We had an appointment made for her Thursday to get fixed and her ear clipped so the animal control knew not to pick her up. The slut doesn't show up Wednesdays night for us to grab her and take her to her appointment.
I don’t know where else to post this but it’s cat related. We’ve been feeding a stray cat and a raccoon started showing up. I started running off the raccoon to keep it away from cat. Last night I noticed he didn’t show up to eat the food. Well today I was running and saw the raccoon got run over crossing the road. Now I feel bad for being mean to him
What does everyone feed their cats? I’ve been feeding Science Diet healthy development since that’s what they were on at the shelter, but am about to switch as they are nearing 1 and I’d like to get them on grain-free, high protein food. It also seems like there is quite the debate on how healthy/unhealthy dry food is and cats should be fed a predominantly wet diet. Anyone feed their cats only wet food?
Taste of the Wild for both cat and dog. Have had zero issues with the brand. Dry food for both. It makes sense that a wet food/all natural diet would be best but my guys are going to have to deal with it.
The Costco grain-free for dry, and Fancy Feast for wet. My 15 year old tortie only wants wet food, but she’ll eat the dry stuff if she has to, but our fat ginger will eat either.
My cat gets both wet and dry. For dry he gets Purina sensitive system because he was growing up other stuff that we tried. Wet food, due to his sensitive stomach and pickiness, it’s Fancy Feast. Mostly the classic pate. Rotate Ocean Whitefish classic pate every other day. On the days he doesn’t have that it’s a mix of other Fancy Feast wet food. We’ve tried nicer/better stuff and sensitive system wet food but he just won’t eat them
I feed my cat wet food only* -- as she got older, she stopped being able to tolerate dry food and was puking a lot. It wasn't easy getting her off of it, because she loves her some dry chow -- but she either eats it too fast or it is too hard on her stomach (didn't matter the brand). Once I got her on quality wet only, she stopped puking (beside the random hairball because cats). *she still gets a couple of dental treats / day -- which she rather insists on. Downside of wet only diet is it can get pretty expensive compared to even the highest of high end dry food.
Do your cats greet you when you come home? Mine runs to me and rolls around for me to pick him up when I come home. My said none of her precious cats did this
Depends on if they are hungry or not, did they just wake up, etc. One of the cats does it pretty consistently but he is one of the friendliest cats I've ever met, almost like a dog.
My tortie’s favorite spot looks out to the walkway, so if she’s there and sees me coming up the stairs she jumps down and greets me at the door. The tuxedo is almost assuredly on the coach or in his hammock, but as soon as he wakes up and realizes I’m home it’s purrs and headbutts.
Scratches at the window when she sees me, runs to the door meowing, runs to something to scratch on when I open the door, sometimes alternates meows with squeals. Then, runs over to her food bowl. Not sure if she's happy to see me or like 'thank god someone is here to feed me' -- I like to think both, but...
Only wet food for my cats. This is the best food resource imo. https://catinfo.org/ I actually thought about making my own cat food before I had kids.
Ramsey’s half deaf, so most of the time he just stays sleeping. But if he’s up, and we’ve been gone for more than 30 minutes, he follows one of us around for while when we get home.
We recently got a new bed. Couldn’t get under the old one so now he gets under the bed rather than watch us
Best is when you’re plowing away and one of them decides to ambush your leg, or some other exposed body part.
My old cat RIP used to literally just turn around and stare at the wall till we were done, she knew the alternative was to be locked out of the room
The one time I tried this just for a special treat for his birthday I made him really sick. Something about a parasite in the fish I bought or something. Can't remember it was a long time ago but felt really bad.
Anyone have a cat with FLUTD? Trying to find a good diet to help out with my 11 yr old male cat that has Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease. I know raw food is best but he can't keep it down, we tried 3 different times for days with the same results. Currently do an all wet food diet with him but we're trying to find something that would be better than Fancy Feast but that won't cost more $2-3 a can. Figured I'd start here
Threw a blanket over his box and he liked it so much that when I got home from watching City my wife had put another blanket down inside the box
So a roach got inside last night and one of our cats saw it on the ceiling. She tried to climb up the TV to reach the ceiling to get it. So we picked her up and put her near the ceiling where she attacked it. Now she's constantly staring at the ceiling crying for a bug to come.
