That's not a gut, it's fur.

They shaved him down at the vet.  When I got him back, it looked like he had shrunk.

Oh, he's working on one, believe it.  He has the two ingredients:

One day, you will look at him sitting on the ground just like that, and notice that he grew a nice pair of hairy udders right under your nose. :-)

I went to Hobby Lobby and picked up some stuff for a heavy duty toy-on-a-stick.  It's reusable and he isn't going to break this one.

He likes to bite on stuff after he "catches" it.  I'll need to find something he can chomp on.

Oreo won't do that--yet she'll go over to a spot in the hallway, just around the corner from a perch we have, and claw the carpet.  Really pisses me off--and she knows it.

I just wanted to chime in, I have decided to move my cat from canned to dry food.

There are 2 reasons...

1)My cat had a problem that required having a tooth pulled. That was on canned food, I will explain this later.

2) It has improved her performance in the litterbox, I'll leave it at that but if anybody has a question just ask.

3) If you move to dry food you must make sure that the cat has water.

4) The reason I moved to dry food, (specifically royal canin) is for the larger kibbles...it sorta makes them chew them up more so it reduces vomiting but it also increases tooth cleaning.

Ok 4 reasons.

I dare you to brush your cats teeth.

Good on ya Eagle!!
jinges has a hard enough times getting her nails cut, never mind brushing her teeth. I have always fed her dry food, once I tried wet food, she was vomiting constantly and the throwup was harder to clean up. Also I have a special water bowl as well....

I've never fed mine canned food. Not because I was trying to protect them or the dogs...but because I couldn't stand the sight and particularly the smell of canned cat/dog food.  :puke:


I've used Iams for over 20 years. Since the hairball formula came out, I use it. If I don't....there are "gifts".
