As for an obstruction, I noticed to my great relief that he has been going to the bathroom with no problem. (that's the benefit of having one cat, I used to have six at one time and to regulate their bathroom habits would have proved impossible!. I think I had better contact Nutro, at first I worried in case their food wasn't the culprit but it has to be.

Is there a food you would recommend, one that would be good for sensitive stomachs? I've actually considered making my own cat food but haven't a clue. Maybe there's a link that shows how to feed them what I saw one person refer to as the "BARF" diet??
Thanks again for your kind note, I really appreciated it, Lori
Sorry to hear about Gizmo. I'm in the process of getting all my cats off Nutro and over to Purina Pro Plan. Last year my vet recommended I feed Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach to my senior kidney failure cat because he was throwing up a lot and having diarrhea. The Pro Plan has worked like a charm for almost a year now. In fact, he had been losing weight and not doing well but at 16 years old he has gained back a couple of needed pounds and is doing well.

I had been feeding my other 6 cats Nutro weight loss and Nutro Adult but over the past several months I've been changing them all over to Pro Plan and everyone is doing great. In fact I notice less litterbox waste and the couple of cats that used to throw up from time to time rarely do it now.

By the way, my vet says Purina is one of the only brands that wasn't involved in last years contamination recalls.

Oh - my name is Lori too!!! Welcome to Pet Talk!
