Well, as I was reading my friends page just now, my cat jumped up on my bed and started shaking his paws. They were extremely matted and yellow. Stand out on his pretty white fur.

whatever meat/fish you eat, buy an extra 2 oz, cut it off before cooking, cook it plain to medium done-ness, separately, then put it through a food processor and give that to your cat. Try that for a few days to see if it settles down his tummy. It may also address his over-eating. You can also try baby food intended for humans but be sure it contains no onions, which can cause aplastic anemia in cats.

Most pre-pack foods contain corn-meal. My kitty was allergic to corn...so I learned a trick or two.

Allergic to corn, eh? Did he develop that late in life? My cat usually stomachs the Nature's Choice pretty well. But I'm hestitant to give him that wet food again. I might just give him a can of a different brand.

It's really hard to tell what he likes to eat. Sometimes I get the fish flavored food and he won't eat it Right now he's eating less, too.

I think I'm going to pick up a hypoallergenic diet when I see the vet again. Do you think it'd be alright to give him some turkey?

Well I switched it up to canned tuna, no preservatives and he seems to be doing better now. I think it was the medicine upsetting his stomach. Of course, I'm still taking him to the vet.
