he is driving me nuts. NUTS I tell you. :yikes: I.NEED.HELP. It's gotten so bad I don't even like him most days.
Issue #1. He has stopped eating raw. The buggar. Since he has stopped eating raw his poop and pee STINK. He has become a picky eater and I don't like it. I've add a probiotic/enzyme to his kibble, so I hope it helps, but I don't want him solely on kibble, I want him on raw. I've tried premade raw. I've tried giving him chicken necks. Beef. Gizzards. He will only eat ground turkey (and only sometimes at that!) and that is not a complete diet. If you feed raw, what do you feed your cat?
Issue #2. He will not eat canned food. I bought 8 different types of high quality canned food. I've tried two so far and no go. *looks pathetic as her money goes down the drain* What canned food are you successful with?
Issue #3. Cat litter. I tried to change to Swheat Scoop. No go. He pooped all over the dining room this morning and as soon as I put his old cat litter in his box, he peed for about 2 minutes. He went in the new litter the first day, but not the second? WTH is wrong with this animal? So, what good cat litter do you use? I'd like to use a decent litter, I'd prefer without perfumes or dyes, but Adobe may have another idea.
Issue #4. He is back to waking us up at night. Even though we play with him during the day and we changed his schedule. He doesn't care. Not only does he wake me up, but he wakes up the dogs. Buddy is pissed that he's not getting his beauty sleep. What kind of schedule do you have your cat on? Does your cat sleep through the night? Wait, he doesn't have to sleep through the night, but he sure needs to be quiet (I am a very soft sleeper) and his meow is enough to wake the dead.
Issue #5. These issues are making me not love him very much. It was already a conditional relationship, and now I'm so unhappy I don't even like him most days. I want to remember the sweet kitty we all fell in love with. We need help. Please. Magic wand anyone?
TIA for any advice.
