My dad got his cats Tucker and Patches to eat only treats as their daily food. He his tried several times to switch them back but they wouldn’t. He tried mix dry food in and wet food in but they refuse to it until dad picks every last treat. They need more than just cat treats. Can anyone help on how to switch them back to regular cat food?

My vet likes to answer "myths" about pet health and I was wondering if you guys had any?

For example:
Dogs eat poop because their diet is lacking nutrition.
Cats eat grass because they are sick.
Use oil for mange. (btw oil is toxic)
Cats get fat once they are "fixed."
Dawn Dishsoap kills fleas.
etc.

Thanks, and have fun!

Is the full moon making your pet go crazy?

Our two cats are running laps around the house, fighting with each other and being all around hyper since yesterday. We think it’s due to the full moon. I read once that pet emergency rooms (as well as human ones) are usually the most busy during the nights of a full moon. I’m wondering if any of you have experienced this crazy full-moon behavior with your pets OR with yourselves?

Would a covered cat box work best?

So I have two cats and we keep there liter box in the bath…and that is Goodd thing because they fling litter everywhere. I was just wondering is a liter box that was covered and had an entrance to it would help keep the liter in the liter box. I didn’t know if it would work because I do have a big cat 16 pounds and I didn’t know if we could fit in it.
Thanks

Why won't my cats use their new scratching post?

I got my cats a new scratching post for Christmas and they all avoid using it..I even rubbed catnip on it…and hid their old one…but they just look at me sadly like where is my old little scratching post.? .I thought it would help my one cat especially because he had a broken leg early in his life and lays down to use it the small one…I’d hoped he would want to stretch his leg while getting his manicure, but avoids it. as they all do.. ..Any suggestions to get them to use it?
