Smudge says "Gray cats are the best!"

Love, Columbine

Cassie agrees one hundred percent! Blunt is beautiful!

When I brought Cassie home from the shelter, she had been fed wet food two times a day. No dry food ever. The vet told me to continue wet food two times a day but also to free feed dry food. As she has gotten older I have gradually switched to feeding her three times a day, smaller amounts. She tended to "snarf and barf" when I was only feeding her two times a day. I've also noticed that she eats less dry food as she gets older.

My next-door neighbor has two purebred Siamese cats and she feeds them only Royal Canin. She also boils water and then refrigerates it before she puts it in their dish. I'm not sure why but we have really hard water so that might be part of it.

Gorgeous kitty!!! Looks alot like my Bear!

Whatever food you go with, stick with the same brand. If you do alot of switching and there's ever an allergy problem, you'll never know which food might have caused it which will delay solving the problem.

Good brands that I have personally used over the years: Science Diet (Hills), Iams, Purina One, Pro Plan, Royal Canin, & Chicken Soup for the Cat Lovers Soul.

For flea protection I use Revolution for Cats on my own kitties. It not only gets fleas, but also takes care of a couple types of intestinal worms, earmites, and is also a heartworm preventative. It's a topical you put on the back of their neck and get from your vet. I've been happier with it than Frontline. It has a much smaller volume of liquid, which also makes the kitties happier since they don't like having wet spots on their fur an don't like to sit still for very long to apply it. Never had any issues using it in several years on my cats. Think we only ever had 1 cat of all the ones at the hospital that had an issue with it, and we have ALOT of cats on that product.
