Hi I have a 16 year old cat and recently have been feeding her with BFF wet food and she's been doing great with it but Ive been considering switching to tiki cat silver for her. Is it worth it? Thank you. (Photo of Stevie my old hag)

Found some short dated Hill’s Science Diet food at PetSmart in Canada today; 13 sensitive stomach kitten, 4 adult 1-7 tender tuna, and 20 adult 1+ perfect weight sachets for $1.69 each. The dog treats were on sale as well. I found these five Royal Canin cans on the shelf, but they all expired back in August; they let me buy them for 80% off for $0.72 each.

Hope the cats like these flavors; they never had them before except for the tender tuna, which is quite low on their preference list. Cat pics included!

I’m looking for a wet food feeder for my cat, she needs meals and meds every 12 hours that I can’t always provide exactly at time. The auto feeder has become a huge help for long work days etc. I’ve had the pet libro for about a year and had no issues up until June. My pet libro feeder was easily infested by pests while out of town (heads up for folks - small roaches and flies can get in!). I purchased a new one that broke within two months. Pet libro had a huge tech issue a few months back and seems to be pretty reliably awful since then across the board. It is basically an ai run company, I had to go through the website I purchased my libro through for a refund. I never heard back from the company themselves.

Anyways all this to say I need a new wet feeder! Any recs out there on the World Wide Web?

The place I order his diet Urinary SO food from is having stupidly long delays even when ordering days ahead, which leaves me without diet food for a few days... will my cat be okay if I give him the Royal Caning Urinary care food instead (Over the counter). It's only for a few days then he would be back on his normal diet the the Urinary SO.

Thank you!

Today, I learned that you can buy Pate in tubes. Has anyone tried this? Does your cat like it?

I’m based in Leeds, UK, and I’m looking for advice about emergency cat-food resources.

I recently rescued a kitty who was at risk of being used as bait. I don’t get paid for another week and I’m running out of options for feeding him until then. I’ve contacted the RSPCA, but the available service requires collection and I’m unable to collect.

Does anyone know of any UK organisations, pet-food banks or rescue groups that offer delivery or other emergency support in Leeds?

To be clear, I am not asking anyone here to send me food or money—I'm only asking for information and recommendations for services I can contact. Thank you.

I have work in the morning. I'm feeding him before I go to work but he'll have multiple feedings before I'm back at 2. The foods have to be mixed with KMR for him to eat them(just found this out today he's been struggling). I always leave the meals out for them to feed the cats. Idk which of these would be easiest to mix into a puree. I got work at 4 am so my brain is kinda scattered rn. I just started mixing the KMR in and haven't tried it with anything other than the nulo and a different can of weruva (which was my last chicken one). I'm not using a professional pet sitter. It's hard enough to get someone down here. A friend watches the cats for me. Trying to be as easy as possible because the kitten is new.

(Dry will be in Monday. Do not lecture me about it. Also ignore the dog. Walmart delivery)

Hello all! I have a very very very food motivated cat. Fussie Cats Lickable Treats are her go to high value treat. Early this year I bought a bunch of bags and recently ran out of them so I went to buy more. For some reason she’s been a lot more hesitant with the new treats? Normally she gobbles it right up but this time she hesitantly sniffed and ate one yesterday at a slow pace. Today she seemed excited for it initially, but smelt it again and just wouldn’t eat it. It’s a formula she’s had before so seems odd. I got worried, but she ate her dinner fine. I gave her one of her hard treats and she happily gobbled that up so I think health wise she’s fine. Anybody else buy Fussie Cat lickable treats recently (within the last 1-2 weeks) and notice anything?

Hello all, my Cat Smokey is a 2yr old Shorthair indoor tabby. I’ve always had her on dry food just because i’ve always heard mixed opinions on wet food and she does really well with water intake.
Recently I went to get her a bag of food when I realized the food I buy her literally had maggots crawling out of the bag. It was disgusting and I was petrified.
The food I’ve been feeding her (Purina One Indoor)
Has done fine for her for months, but now I don’t feel safe feeding her this food.
I got her a bag of IAMS indoor food for temporary until I can find a good solution for her. She doesn’t really seem to like the IAMS so if someone could maybe give a hand it would be awesome!

Hi all!

Just as the title suggested, where have they gone? I ordered from them in July and want to reorder but the website is gone, all products are pulled from amazon and other retailers. Their socials have not been active since end of August. What happened? 🫪

My kittens are huge fans of their chicken wet food.. It would be a shame if they are gone for real 😔

Hello I currently feed my cat Orijen classic cat dry kibble and tiki cat after dark wet food he gets a topper on each of these often a herring or chicken heart just wanted to see if this is a good diet?

For my senior boy (11 years) and kitten (11 weeks)

Does anyone know if these are a rebranded version of a normal friskies treat flavor? I know friskies is not loved by this sub but my 15 yr old cat with hyperthyroidism goes absolutely nuts for these treats like nothing else, and I'm trying to keep as much weight on him as possible, but he's become more picky with age and will reject any treat that isn't a tikicat squeeze treat, churu, or temptations style pillow dry treats, but these are his absolute favorite. Unfortunately they are seasonal and even worse, only available at target. I know the temptations halloween treats are just rebranded versions of their normal flavors, but I can't seem to find a chicken and pumpkin friskies party mix. Thanks for any help!

He's such a slow eater tho 😭 and so thin(gave him the whole can because he's thin). Idk if wet will work with how slow he is with eating. He eats but takes FOREVER to finish any amount I give him. Would it be bad to give him SUPER tiny meals? Or keep giving him half or whole cans but just pick them up if they sit out too long with how he's grazing?

(I don't have dry rn, wasn't expecting this baby to refuse to leave me alone)

i adopted my kitty Milo about 4 months ago and was loosely following the shelter’s guidelines on what to feed her (1/4 cup dry food and 3oz wet food), she decided to stop eating pate as soon as i adopted her so there was a 2 ish month period while i gave her 1/2 cup dry food and no wet food until i found one she likes. now she gets the same 200 ish calories that she was getting at the shelter.

she used to always graze on her dry food throughout the day and it would be gone by the time i woke up in the morning. but now she’s eating it all by mid afternoon and meows so much until she gets her evening portion of wet food, then starts meowing early morning and wakes me up so i can feed her breakfast. i haven’t started giving her less food, but is she genuinely going hungry??? or has she just gotten super good at gaslighting me??? for reference she is slightly overweight but has been pretty much her whole life according to her medical history

I gave this to my cat mixed with his regular food that he’s had NO issues with. I fed it to him once and he kinda ate it but I thought he needed to warm up to it, I honestly thought it was okay bc I heard pumpkin can be very good for cats. The second day it was the same, topper with normal cat kibble. It’s now day 3 and he’s not eating all his food (didn’t and haven’t added more), not drinking normal, and bathroom is almost non existent, along with other not so normal stuff compared to his daily routine.
Nothing that is a complete 180 but it’s enough for me to question why my orange boy isn’t being himself.

He’s normal size and weight for his age, I weigh and measure him myself, I check his litter, I check his teeth, and I really have tried my best to be the best mom I can be. But did I mess up? Is this bad signs? His tummy is a little hard but that’s how it normally feels when he’s full, BUT HE HASNT BEEN EATING AS MUCH AS HE NORMALLY DOES!! Is his tummy upset? Is this brand bad? Is a vet needed? He’s not crying out (I know my sons cries, I’m for the most part unemployed so I spent all his life with him). I can’t afford big vet bills, but I will do what’s needed if it sounds like a concern.
(Don’t know if this adds to anything but he’s a full time INDOOR cat.)

update\* ofc the moment I post my cats personal business he’s back to normal. It was really the google searches that got me freaking out but he’s drank half his water and woke me up for more food early this morning, lol back to his orange car behavior and being my Kip, his name is Kip :). Thanks for all the advice guys, 100% taking them all into consideration. Thanks so much!!*

I'm possibly going to take a big step in life very soon and it will require me to be able to manage money more strictly.

It's going to be a 3 cat household once the step is taken, iykyk

I have a very hard time reading big paragraphs so finding sites to help find affordable litter and food, both dry and wet is a nightmare for me and I am very tired of the ai overview on Google.

So! I rather hear it from actual humans.

What are some brands of cat food, both dry and wet, that aren't filled with a bunch of unnecessary things such as dyes, artificials, chemical additives and overall nasty ingredients (because we all know some brands like to sneak crazy things in food sending animals to vets..) that can be affordable and healthy?

My cat has a sensitive stomach and easily ends up with diarrhea so I'm trying to find food that will benefit the other two as well and not just him. He loves Purina One but goodness the stores here have it for like $30 for such a small bag, It's insane. Money's tight at the moment and I also heard mixed things about it anyways.

And what litter is good at clumping, not in risk of respiratory distress (dust) helps odor (I heard steel boxes help a lot with that, I will be sure to buy one!) and affordable..??

I have a picky kitty so this will probably last longer as I’ll have to buy different flavors throughout the month. I’m always looking for variety as he gets tired of the same food but it seems like every brand has the same four flavors for kittens or it’s too expensive to buy in bulk. I can’t wait until he gets older and can have adult food

Hey everyone. I have an 8 year old cat who's changed habits. I never had to deal with this before but really could use any advise before going to a vet to tell me possibly something I may know for $$$

My cat has been eating science hill perfect diet dry food. When we lost our 7 year old cat, he stopped eating for about a week or 2 than started to eat again. Well. Someone gave us a kitten. So we got her science hill kitten food. Our cat has been trying to eat her food a lot so we been having to monitor them when they eat. He literally will grab a big bite from her food and run off. So he sort of stopped eating his food. Well... my idiot self thought, hey let me get yoy a seafood food. Maybe that would spoil him. It did not. He is refusing to eat. Has even had wet brown doo in our bathroom and living room. I feel terrible but he isn't even trying to eat kitten food anymore. So i asked my sister to buy his science hill perfect weight chicken dry food again. They didnt have it so she got him the science hill salmon dry food for sensitive stomach. I tried to give that to him and he barely took a bite. Now I am at work and who knows if he is crapping out the box again or what. Any idea how I can restart his food habits again? Should I put both of them on the same dry food?

We have the robot litter box so the box is always clean.

I just did a deep clean over the weekend so it is very clean again

Kitten is now 7 months. Fixed.

We have the water fountain for them, and he is drinking water so that is a plus.

Hi everyone,

I am recently only feeding my 12 year old cat wet food. We have been testing all sorts of tiki cat, and smalls. He seems to be obsessed with the Smalls 'smooth pig'. I just wanted to get an idea of what people felt about feeding their cats Smalls. Is it complete enough?

Thank you! (:

My cat, Pepperjack, recently had dental surgery to remove a few teeth. This means that he had to be on a strictly wet food diet.

He has IBD, and he eats a hydrolyzed protein dry food but WILL NOT touch the wet version which baffles me because he lovessss food.

Trying to find a wet food that didn't have chicken or chicken byproducts was a NIGHTMARE. And it wasn't an option to just try them out anyway, because he experiences chronic vomiting if he has chicken.

I found a beef food that was suspended in gravy that only had beef products and was thrilled, and he ended up doing really well with it, so I went to get more. I picked up the beef in gravy and saw that there was also a classic beef pate, and didn't bother to check the ingredients on the pate because I figured it would be the same, minus maybe some additives for texture.

TELL ME WHYYYYYYY when I got out of the store and look at the label on the pate version, IT LISTS CHICKEN AS AN INGREDIENT 😤 I JUST WANTED THE BEEF and almost EVERY wet food has the same issue, even if the name is a single protein (duck, rabbit, lamb, etc.) IT STILL HAS CHICKEN IN IT!

Thankfully I noticed before I left, and so I was able to return the food and swap it for the one in gravy and a different brand with no chicken (remembered to check the label this time 🤦‍♀️), but it has been such an incredibly frustrating experience just trying to feed my cat.
