I have a question about my cat, he is male and almost a year old. I feed him about 3 times a day, sometimes 4 if he is being unbearable, of 85g canned kitten food. It's good quality stuff and he's been eating it since he started eating solid foods. The problem is after he eats a can he meows and meows like he's still starving, today he was so crazy he was trying to get into the trash bin multiple times to get at some chicken bones I threw in there that morning. I've tried feeding him dry food with the wet food but he has had bad reactions to it with both brands that I bought. Not sure what to do, hoping you guys could help.

They do have Feliway in Australia, scope out your pet stores.

Had a terrible weekend in regards to my cat Charlie. It started after I had finished washing the dishes I realized he was taking a longer time than normal to pee.  alarm bells The day was a public holiday so my partner and I had to rush him to an emergency vet. They checked him out and told us he would need a catheter and gave us a quote for $3000. We didn't have anywhere near that amount so the vet started to talk about "other options" (such as putting him down) and were offered a finance option. ONLY after we were rejected for the finance option and my parter is freaking out and crying because she thinks she has to put her cat down that the vet brings up the option of draining the urine with a needle and giving pain medication so we can go to our normal vet the next day. It's basically our only option, and cost $400. The next day we went to out normal vet and she couldn't find his bladder so she decided it would be best to give him antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory and watch him. We do that and 4 hours later he urinates. Ordeal over and $650 total gone. It's better than $3000 though. My partner is angry with the emergency vets for not exploring the antibiotics + anti-inflammatory option and suggesting to go straight for the catheter procedure(which cost $3000).

I thought as much, also the cost would have been inflated due to it being an e-vet hospital. Thanks for putting it in a way I can explain to my SO so she doesn't feel like they were trying to rip her off.

If you have posted about it on the internet then I think you've probably left it to late to discourage it right?

Is anybody else's cat obsessed with chips? It's not even a particular type of chip, pringles, cornchips, potato chips all in different flavors. Opening a packet of chips in our house is like opening a packet of cooked chicken.

Light Gun Man posted:my cat seems to only wanna sleep and occasionally go outside. I hope he's getting some exercise out there, but I would like to find something he'd enjoy indoors to play with too. I've tried your usual basic cat toys, balls lasers etc, but he doesn't seem too interested in any so far. any somewhat more esoteric suggestions for like a game I can play with him? or something like this https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07X8SYYXK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

hallo spacedog posted:This might be a dumb question but do all cats affect allergy havers in the same way? Are there some kinds of cats that give less allergies? Is there a way to tell if you're going to be allergic to any given cat? Apparently there is a food you can feed cats that makes them shed less of the proteins that make you allergic

My cat drinks fine from his large coffee cup, the only thing he will drink out of, i'm guessing he saw his humans drinking coffee in the morning every day and said "yes this is the way"
