Science Diet Sensitive Stomach Dry Cat Food - Acetaminophen

acetaminophen (Tylanol) is VERY deadly to cats

I know 9-Lives is not top quality food. My freind is in the process of switching her cat to a raw diet. To make the switch, she has to mix in some wet food with it. She has 9-Lives in the cupboard. Is that OK to use? What's your experience with it?

Pass it on - some people may benefit from this info

If so, please inidcate what brand and type of food made your cat sick. Need to makea quick survey.

The Reformation was a time of critical thinking in the history of the Christian Church... it was a time of high thinking and dangerous living: Christians fought with one another in support of new ideas or in the defense of old ideas... in the end, Christianty was all the better and healthier for it.

But Islam? not only does it stagnate, a significant and dangerous section of it want to pull the whole world back to medieval times. Don't you think it is time for Islam to do some critical thinking? It is stupifying that it does not.

He pooped yesterday; and he normally moves his bowels once a day - sometimes in the afternon and sometimes in the evening. It's already 3am and he still hasn't gone. His tummy looks really full. He is sleeping peacefully now. Should I be worried? When is a cat considered to be constipated?

I have this neutered male 9 yr old ginger and white DSH I love to bits. He is active and always needs to think he is doing something productive like patrol the house and grounds at least once a day. So, I was thinking, if Kaffe were a dog, he would definitely fall into the category of "working dogs" - possibly a German Shepherd becuase he also likes to chase away any intruders if given the chance. My 1 yr old neutered male on the other hand will fall into the category of a playful lapdog coz there's nothing better he likes than to lay accross my lap and be petted.

I have learnt a lot more about cats just from the answers to common questions about cats on this site - things I kinda "suspected" before and things I did not know yet. For example, the cause and sgns of diabetes in cats. Now I can take steps to prevent it from developing in my cats. I think Yahoo answers is real handy this way.
