My cat's full of sh!t & I have the pictures to prove it.

At very least, I would complain to the regular vet, and seek a refund of the money you spent there.

Have you ever looked at the raw food diet for cats? My friend does it for something like half his cat's meals, and says it helps with all kinds of gut problems.

Feed em KFC chicken, not the skin, just the regular chicken. We had the same problem with a cat of ours (not as cool of a cat either) and we just gave him some of the meat, it had just enough grease or oil in it to lube his system but not make him sick. Oh, and he was more than glad to eat it. Just be prepared to clean the litterbox a lot.

I was going to recommend Tuna fish packed in oil.

remember kids:
you can tune a piano,
But you cannot tuna fish!

As much as my shit head cat annoys me.. I'd miss her being my 2nd alarm clock in the morning. Funny thing.. she figured out that she can walk across the head board, wap me a few times on the head.. and her food bowl gets filled.. who conditions who..

Ginsue-
If you want some really good info on feline dietary needs give me a call and I will get you talking to my Mrs. She manages a "Pet Boutique" that carries mainly all natural stuff and after the issue we had with our guy, she really did a lot of homework and actually schooled the vet on food.
She knows her catshit.
And cat food

Not sure I'd want to try it, but can a cat be given an enema? Perhaps with a large basting syringe or turkey baster and some warm water? I'm sure they'd put up a struggle though. Better than a huge vet bill, IMO.

I never had pets growing up, Dad was allergic to everything.

if someday I have kids that want a cat or dog, I'll get them.

guess I have a hard heart tho, because if it's going to cost two thousand bucks to keep it alive, then the furry little guy is a goner.

You say this not having pets before.. you'd see it differently.

DO NOT ATTEMPT to give your cat an enema. You can easily perforate a gut/colon which is fatal.
Animal physiology is quite different than human. Many things that we can tolerate will kill an animal.
Onions for example are toxic to dogs just like aspirin is toxic to a cat.
Ever notice that some cats puke often?
Ever wonder why?
They cant belch typically.

My dad was a veterinarian and when one of our cats had digestive issues(constipation) every morning a dollop of bacon grease on their food usually did the trick.


And no, once you have had a pet and developed a relationship with the furry lil critter you will do whatever it takes to keep them healthy.
Maybe not a fair comparison but to some of us our pets are just as much a member of the family as our children.
