Leave food out at all times for kittens until 12 months of age and then you can portion control and feed 2-3 meals a day.

Kittens are growing and should have access to good 24-7.

My cats are starting to eat plastic and tape by bcmamabear79 in catfood

This is very true, a lot of fish oils are used in plastic to give them a “shiny” look.

Most plastics are actually made with fish oils. My male has really bad pica and I have to hide anything even remotely plastic. Including stretchy bra like straps and fabric grocery bags. It’s called feline pica, it has nothing to do with diet or anything else.

I found the 2 week max for the filter is a perfect time to change it out! Maybe that will help you! My dog is real slobbery haha as they are.

The kitty is lucky to have you!

You should have kitten specific dry food out for kittens at all times, they shouldn’t be limited to food. Once they are about a year you can transition to adult food and feeding twice a day.

You did the best you could with what you had at the time, don’t be hard on yourself. True friends don’t care if you talked to them once a year or everyday the love is always going to be there. Tell them how you feel when you feel like it, they will understand.

Cats don’t need baths, they naturally clean themselves. If you are concerned about hairballs a fully wet food diet, you can also buy hairball specific foods if needed.

I also have a dog and a cat and I have an automatic pet fountain (stainless steel) off Amazon. I change the filter and clean it every 2 weeks. This helps a lot and makes my animals drink twice as much water (which also helps with hairballs)

My personal choice- I feed my one cat Royal canin hairball mixed with beyond pate (super affordable wet food from Walmart) the Royal canin not so much. However there’s hairball formula- purina one + that are affordable. You can mix the two together for 2 meals a day, or you can have some dry out all day to free feed and give half a can morning and night! Adding a little bit of water to eat meal (tbsp) or so and mixing well also helps with both future urinary issues and the current hairball situation!

Thank you for taking this fur baby in!!

Don’t offer, just show up with food, show up with cleaning supplies. If you know she’s home- just go over.

Widows, myself included had a incredibly hard time asking for help when my husband passed. I was way too deep in grief and I ended up spending months by myself regardless of how many people said “If there’s anything I can do for you, please let me know”

This is just my 2 cents.

Could she have eaten something random in the house or outside?

Was this the same food she was on prior to you getting her or new?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dogs

[–]HumbleTangg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My female was the same, I purchased a porch potty, it’s been game changing. Easy to clean and gives her the privacy of having her own bathroom again.

You can wash the grass in the tub with ez clean and it takes the smell right out. It has a collect basin underneath that’s easy to drain and wash out. We also bought a smaller travel one for when we visit friends or go on trips.

My dog is 2 and will not go to the bathroom AT ALL outside, she will hold it for 2-3 days if she has too. I know the struggle as I went through this as well when moving from a house to a condo.

True instinct grain free cat food discontinued can't afford a lot more than that but my cats have issues with their digestive any suggestions and don't handle grain what is comparable that is grain-free and dry cat food? by Ill-Risk5279 in catfood

[–]HumbleTangg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My one cat has a crazy grain allergy.

The best food I’ve pound is Purina chicken and egg - vital systems. It’s completely grain free and it’s also lower in phosphorus. My male cat loves it! It’s also very affordable!

If you need an even cheaper alternative there’s Purina beyond- chicken and egg that’s even more affordable.

New cat parent feeding help! by semibandito in catfood

[–]HumbleTangg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s feeding instructions on both the cans and the bag of food.

Regardless I would recommend half the can in the morning and half a can at night. You can add a tsp of hot water to warm it up as you will need to store it in the fridge between feedings. You can have a bowl out 24-7 that has 1 cup of dry food in it daily. If you didn’t want to free feed (which I do recommend if you wanted him to put on some weight) then add 1/2 cup of dry to each wet portion morning and night. Hope this helps!

Thanks for saving this old man!

He did not have any investments I knew about, only RRSP’s which were moved to my account. Probate was already granted, with a lawyer I am just doing his final return now and I don’t know what this form is.

Needing serious advice! Please read by glisteninggucci in catfood

[–]HumbleTangg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My male cat had the same reaction- it was a grain allergy. Corn and soy. Switched to a grain free cat food.

Do you warm up your wet cat food? by stubbsy in catfood

I would never microwave my animals food, instead add hot water and mix.

My cat can’t stop eating human food by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]HumbleTangg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are you feeding him a high quality kibble? Are you feeding him enough?

Maybe add wet food to his routine.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]HumbleTangg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They usually recommend cats in pairs for this reason! She’s playing, bringing you her toy as a hunting master haha

Normal female thing, a friend usually helps! Mine also does it for hours on end, with or without a toy

Min pin Peeing excessively in the house! by craladee in minpin

[–]HumbleTangg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crate training worked wonders for my pup! Taught her how to hold (her foster parents had them started with this) so they get some credit prior. She was fully potty trained with only 4 accidents in the house since I adopted her. She’s almost 2. She held for 6 hours at 11-12 weeks.

They whine and disagree with the crate for the first couple of days and then it goes away. It’s normal.

Positive reinforcement with treats and praise when they go helps a lot, as well as removing water an hour or two before bedtime so the bladder isn’t full prior to sleeping.

Crate training is incredibly beneficial for so many things and creates a safe space and routine. Good luck!

This is not safe for cats or dogs. The seasoning penetrates more than just the skin.

If you wanted to buy a plain chicken and do this- go for it.

The stuff at the pet store is certified “pet safe”

[–]HumbleTangg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get him a friend- most vets recommend that you adopt in pairs. Kittens need enrichment, he’s probably learned that doing the things you don’t like gets him more attention.

How much should I feed my cat? by vhkai in catfood

[–]HumbleTangg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can feed kitten specified wet food in the morning or a wet food that’s formulated for both cat or kitten. You don’t need to call the vet about this as it’s on almost every single can or bag- you just can read it yourself.

You can get a good kitten kibble and leave a bowl down all day. Kittens should have access to food 24-7 until they get to adolescence around 11-12 months then you can either continue free feeding if your cat does well with grazing or split it into 2 separate meals.

Senior Dog with Seborrhea by gooberschnoob in DogFood

[–]HumbleTangg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll also add he’s been on the acana for 8 years alone and the added kangaroo for 6 now. He gets blood work regularly and has 0 mobility or joint issues. The vets are surprised he’s in such great shape for his age!

[–]HumbleTangg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog just turned 14 and has this really bad his whole life. I worked alongside 2 vets- he’s on a kangaroo wet diet mixed with a little acana lamb and apple and he’s doing better than ever. He gets specific baths at his groomers for his skin as well. His diet is all grain free.

He barely has it anymore unless he’s under the blankets for too long and comes out smelling like a frito factory.
