    Philodendron should be mentioned. My cat once ate a leaf and was in distress right away. I called the poison control center, and they advised me to run some warm water by syringe over the cat's tongue. She said the plant had little thorny bits, and they were stuck in his tongue. Like magic! They even called the next day to see if he was ok.
    Don't hesitate.

    Always a bowl of clean water. Helpful video. About not getting enough water:
    I feed my cat his dry food in the morning. And wet food in the afternoon. Since he seems addicted to dry food, I add 1/8 cup of dry food to the wet and mix in 2 tablespoons of warm water for a soft mixture and he eats it all up.

      I gave up trying to give my cat water. She eats wet food so I can sneak a little into that. She has three pee balls a day of a pretty good size. She gets about six dry kibble pieces when I feed her. I tell her it’s her dessert. I feed her four times a day so her walnut sized stomach is not stressed from being too full. I tried twice a day feeding but she begged so much in between meals that I went back to four times a day. Same amount of food just divided into four meals. She has an automatic feeder if I’m away.

    Great advice.
    My cats are indoor, and have a mix of the highest quality dry food (urinary and hairball control. though they do not have health issues) This food is available at a pet department store, or a vet.
    I boil fresh, boneless chicken breasts for them, and I include a little extra water with their wet food.
    They have 5 water bowls.
    My cats have a large, spacious outdoor enclosure (round 70 sqm) where they can access the house whenever they want.
    I make time to have "playtime" with them, though they like to play amongst themselves as well.
    I have 5 cats who are all brothers and sisters.
    I rescued them all, and their mother (which is a long story)
    They are all snipped chipped, and registered for life ( People are required to register their cats in Perth, Western Australia)

      Any dry food is not good no matter how much thet advertise it is . Feed them wet or raw food . We mix our 5 cats food with 80% raw and 20% wet so they get hydration . They are the perfect weight and their coats shine so naturally . We used to use the vet advertised high end food and they were all fat lol

    This is a great list. I never feed or water my pets out of plastic containers. Plastic is unsanitary. I also make sure my babies always have fresh, clean bowls always. Eating out the same bowls over and over without washing ! Would a human being want to eat out of dishes that are not washed between meals. They would stink. Nobody needs plants in their homes. Essential oils give me a raging headache so I can imagine what it does to pets. Cats are very clean and they like clean litter boxes, clean food bowls, fresh water, etc. It's just common sense.

    I do not often fill a bowl with water., because outside there is enough rainwater, what they more like than the crane water. And even then, I give them at least 2 times a day "wet food" (and of course for the rest for the day, dry food).
    And yes always a bowl of cat milk.
    An as I am a single man, my dishwasher is not always full of dishes, I have 4 stainless steel cans for my cat, but 4 four plastic cans too. So that there always is a fresh bowl always. And I think that those plastic bowls are just as good, als long if they have been in a dishwasher.

      Get them checked out a couple times a year at the vet (most cities have low cost vets), don't overfeed and keep them indoors. And give lots of love ❤.

    • @Feline_Fanatics
      @Feline_Fanatics  3 месяца назад +4

      It really depends on the brand and type of wet food you're considering. The key thing to look for on the label is that meat or fish should be the first ingredient listed, indicating it's the primary component of the food. You'll also want to see ingredients that are actual, recognizable foods-things you understand and can pronounce, rather than a long list of mysterious chemicals or fillers. While some supermarket brands do offer high-quality options that meet these criteria, it might take a bit of label reading to find them. A healthy diet is crucial for their overall well-being, so you're on the right track by looking into it! 🐾🍲

Sometimes I'll find a toy in it. I don't pay her enough attention. I'm iffy on the Vet because there are no Caucasian ones in this city that I know of, and I loathe how they grab her scruff.

      We will discuss how my animals will be handled, and I will insist on a tour of the facility.
      I was one super pissed off lady that day, and I cried all the way home! My sweet cat scooted as close as he could to the front of his carrier, gave a scared little mew, and reached out to me. God, I love my babies!
