Changed him to JWB and it was a bit better but still had bad farts. Tried him on the RC sensitive stuff and that seemed to help alot. He doesn't fart as mu...

Does anyone know of any other foods a cat can eat that is similar to Royal Canin Vet Diet Sensitivity Control that doesn't need to be prescribed?

Top one is definitely a boy and the bottom one is a girl. The boys anus is further away from his pee hole. The girl one is closer together ;)

Re: Help introducing dog to cat

I agree with Sniper1 about treating your cat everytime the dog arrives. It will then start to associate treats with the dog! :lol:

Don't put her treat in his dog bowl. You wouldn't want to eat off somebody elses plate! :lol:

Re: Help introducing dog to cat

Hi and welcome to the forum. I've never introduced a dog to a cat but I've introduced a new kitten to a resident cat several times. It's mostly scent swapping and letting your cat approach the dog on its own terms. Do not force the cat to meet the dog. Dogs behave differently to cats and may get exc...

When is it safe to leave kitten with 15mth cat??

So I've succumbed to adding another kitty to the household. A lovely ginger male kitten. Now the problem I have is that my younger cat is a little too rough with him when they play. My 10wk kitten is very docile and nothing like my other cat when he was a kitten. I've been supervising them when intr...

Re: the ever popular food question....

My cat is a little fussy. Some wet foods he won't eat. The only way I can get him to eat it is to mix it with his favourite dry food! That does the trick. It's a 50/50 mix of wet and dry. Maybe try mixing a tiny amount of wet food to his dry and gradually increase it. :)

Re: Ragdolls

Hi Ruth B, Did you have to groom your ragdoll alot? I asked my friend who has two ragdolls and she said she wouldn't get long haired again as it was high maintenance and she took the cats to the groomers twice a year to keep the knots and matting down.

Is your outside area secure? Ours isn't so it could crawl out to the road. All the research I've read up on says to keep them in as they are so placid and not very street wise.

For those that have owned ragdoll cats how long did they live for and did they have genetic problems? Thinking about getting one but reading up on them it seems like they are prone to some hereditary health problems. "Kidney and bladder problems are a particular problem within the breed, with p...

Re: How Often Do You Wash Litter Trays?

I use a clumping litter. When the litter gets low, I filter it through a sieve into another tray and top it up. The used tray then gets washed. It depends how often he uses it, not so much now that the weather is better. So hardly washing it, but I do it once a month if it's only been touched a few ...

Yes, after you've had an order from them, they tend to send an email afterwards giving you 5% off your next order. Maybe keep an eye out in your email. Thanks xx

That seems to be the case. Less meat in tin and now almost a quarter of it is jelly! :x Why do these manufacturers mess about with these things!? I don't mind paying a bit more if they stick to the same quality. Now I have to look elsewhere!

Butchers best

Has the recipe changed? I noticed that the new cans I bought seem to be runnier with more liquid and the last tin of the old one is more like a solid jelly. Anyone else noticed this? Or was it a bad batch. My cat didn't like eating the runnier version. So not sure whether to buy it anymore.

As others have mentioned, gradually introduce the new food with the old food, increasing it slowly. Try not to stick to one brand. I read all the advice on here about cat food and decided not to stick to a certain brand as I didn't want a fussy cat. He is fussy but he still eats it :lol: :lol: He de...
