Cat owners: a question.

We have to feed our cat special urinary tract dry food because of past problems and usually any type of wet canned food like Friskies or whatever happens to be on sale.

Our cats get dry food - their bowl is kept full all the time. We give them treats here & there and a can or two of wet food each week.

We give our cat a hairball formula dry food everyday because she is constantly bathing herself and the dogs. We also give her wet food about twice a week. And as far as treats go, she is normally snatching dog treats. She also helps herself to their food.

I have 5 cats. We have an auto feed and auto waterer that we purchased at wal mart around $5 each. We feed them Purina Indoor Cat formula dry food and we give them one can of food per day, usually Friskies brand. They love the more expensive stuff in the smaller cans but we can't afford that with 5 of them to feed. When I can afford it I do buy them Whisker Lickins treats. They love the crab flavored tartar control one.

My 15 year old cat gets a prescription diet because he blocked once at age 5. He's doing just fine on this dry food and has not had any further urinary problems.

First thing, Laura, I want to commend you on adopting an older cat. There are so many pets that need a home, and, unfortunately, it is usually the kitten or puppy that get first dibs while the older pets fall through the cracks. You are a very special lady to open up your heart to this lucky kitty!

Given the fact that your new senior baby is advanced in age, he/she may need a special diet to meet the aging pet's special nutritional needs. Sometimes (especially during the pet food scares), we pet parents feel obligated to feed our babies human food. Although we have all good intentions, however, it is sometimes more appropriate to trust the vet's suggestion of a prescription diet for senior animals. I had been feed my dog human food since the pet food scares. Then, he developed gastrointestinal ramifications (nothing serious, but terribly uncomfortable for him). Despite my reservations on returning him back to the prescription diet for seniors, I did so anyway at the advice of my vet. And, I'm glad I did. He is losing the weight that he gained on human food and has more muscle. He not only looks healthier and happier ... he really is a happy camper!

I use Iams dry food and have had no problem, but my cat is only 4 years old.

We usually just feed our cats Friskies dry food. Wet food is kind of a treat they get every so often.

We feed ours dry food and occasionally we mix raw egg into the dry food for added proteins...

Oh, we use a special "indoor" formula to help them with fiber intake and to aid in prevention of hair balls.
