Squatting

[whiskey104]

Hi, My cat Whiskey is nearly 2 yrs old and he is de-sexed and just recently he has been squatting in certain stop in my lounge room  but noting ever comes out.
I am just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this with their cat..
thanx

Sorry its been awhile. I have finally found a dry food that Whiskey can eat and he seems to love it. So i hope now his crystals are a thing of the past

I keep forgetting that you're in Australia.  lol  There's some other very good brands out there, too.  You can order it online, BUT I don't even want to think about how much the shipping would cost....probably pretty damn scary!

Anyway....good luck girl, and know that all of us on here only want the best for you and Whiskey!!!  =)

We dont have the Wellness food here, but i will def get the best thing that we have here.
I might try and get the powder so it can be mixed in with his food so he has to have it lol
thanx heaps xox

So glad Whiskey made the transition with no fuss.  But......I agree completely with zodiac, he needs nutrients a totally raw diet of meat cannot give him.  

I have leaned on the entire Wellness selection of foods for my kits.  There are others, I am sure, but for me, it was delightful to discover foods in this brand.  Altho' you do spend a bit more for the food, in Whiskey's case, it won't break the bank.  

I'm pushing for the Wellness food as adding a supplement to his food may or may not work and you will be out the $.  I tried lots of things before getting into Wellness brand: they even have tasty treats which every cat or kitten I've befriended loved ....altho' they had been used to Temptations treats......

Love and congrats again for getting Whiskey back to health,

It's great that you got him off of the hard food and he loves his new diet, BUT there are certain extremely important nutrients that Whiskey might not be getting.  I would add either some high quality hard food....just a little, to make sure that he's getting the right nutrients.  For example, taurine is extremely extremely important-it helps w/ the normal function of the heart and eyes.  I'd be willing to bet that the diet your cat is on doesn't have enough of this nutrient in it.

Please, add a high quality hard food(ex. Wellness Core) or getting a powder vit/min supplement to add to his food.  This is very important, because taurine deficiencies can be life threatening.

I changed his diet on my own. And he loves it and he has put on weight which is good bcoz he lost some being sick.
He doesn't ask for dry food now which is great :D
