Cat help please

one thing that may help is to limit the amount of food you give them . . . I used to give my cat a coffee mug full of dry food each day instead of a large bowl so he wouldn't over eat . . .
 
^Good point. Some cats just can't handle free-feeding, but it's difficult to regulate when you have multiples. You can't really say which one is eating the limited food.

That's my problem. I try to regulate their food, but one scarfs down as much as he can get at one time, and the other likes to eat sporadically throughout the day. Then the dog drinks out of their water bowl and they get all pissed off. Now they like to drink out of a glass, which I keep up on the table for them.
 
I did leave less dry food in their bowl last night, and no barf when I came home this morning, so I'm hopeful.
Sean Aaron, I eat Country Crock because it tastes good and is a hell of a lot cheaper than butter, and I use it a lot. Plus, if Vaseline is OK, I figure it can't be too bad. I didn't realize about the sodium, but I'm not feeding them a 1/2 pound of it or anything.
One of the dry foods is that "greens" type from Friskies and the other is the one with the Carnation milk bits also from Friskies. I could change that last one to the hairball remedy kind I reckon.
Her behavior hasn't changed, nor her overall health. She's been eating the wet food I have been giving them for the last couple of days. At 7 pounds, she always seems too small, but I don't feel any weight difference.
Hopefully there's no barf tomorrow morning, and maybe it's over with.

1. As others have suggested get to the vet to be sure, even if you cannot feel any unidentified mass on her.

2. You need to get your taste buds checked or it's clearly too long since you've had real butter, but then butter in the States, like what passes for yogurt tends to be flavourless crap. Suggestion: get some Plugra or other European full-fat salted butter and do the Pepsi challenge with that watered-down Country Crock crap and then tell me you prefer the taste.
 
^I doubt the effort of tracking down foreign butter is really worth the improved flavor. Oh, I'm sorry, flavour. :p

I like both country crock and real butter, but on different things.

Yeah, it is. Though what's funnier is you have to pay all that dosh for Plugra, when any ordinary butter I can get at the shops here is better.

I suppose Country Crock might be soothing on burns, but I cannot see putting it on anything you would actually eat.
 
On the topic, 2 days, no barf. Still, I'll keep an eye on her, and go to the vet if it starts again, even if it's a couple times.

Off topic - Butter.........................Parkay :p

I like the taste of it. Besides, real butter leaves this smell on my moustache that I can't get rid of until I take a shower. :confused:
