Have you tried him on mostly canned food rather than dry?  Wet is better for cats than dry, particularly CRF cats.

Yes, canned food is very good for cats SM
I give my 3 cats one can a day. It has water in it, so it keeps them well-hydrated. My cats love the new Meow Mix wet food. They have been eating it for a year without any problems at all.
Anything canned

 Paper products, plastic cups, utensils, toliet paper, diapers, pads, sunscreen,  baby wipes for sponge baths, etc. There may be no way to wash dishes.


 Water. Fill up your tub  and all trash cans so you can flush your toliet.


 Bleach... You can't have enough bleach


 Brand name trash bags. Wet stuff is heavy.


 Lotrimine or anti-fungal cream.. walking in wet stuff..


 Soda. They give out ice eventually. Everyone ends up with more ice and water bottles than they know what to do with. Soda is great if the smell of mold makes you sick.


 Drink mixes, if you get MREs they all don't come with kool-aid LOL.


Canned fruit, cups of fruit, applesauces, granola bars, chips, cookies, cereal, anything from the processed cereal and snack areas! Granola mix is great!!!! Crakcers and pb are filling too.


Canned meat like tuna and chicken.


Fresh fruit until it goes bad.


Cleaning supplies, with no power the mold gets really bad.


Fabreeze or something to spray your gross clothing with!


ENTERTAINMENT. There is so much waiting.


It's nice, but food prices insane and food is really bad,

What to do with canned tomatos
I have bought canned tomatos for something which didn't work out.  Any ideas so they don't go to waste (p.s. - we don't eat beef).  They are S&W tomatoes with italian seasoning.  Would it just be too bland to serve them over some cooked pasta?  I'm not the most creative cooks and have been known to burn water.  HA HA
Don't buy the canned ones. They are gross.

Last year we bought a bag of potatoes, and didn't use them before they started to sprout. Then I baked all of them and froze them in freezer bags.  Took one out of freezer and thawed in microwave when we wanted one.  Delicious.  I just put butter on mine.


canned air not bad for environment today...

Fluoroethanes don't have chlorine atoms. This means they aren't CFCs, and thus they do not deplete the ozone layer. No offense, but unless you have information these dusters contain chlorofluoroethanes (not likely as these have been phased out for quite some time now) or that fluoroethanes are proven to have some other harmful effects, you really need to think before spreading misinformation.  By spreading this misinformation, you are giving (knowledgeable) environmentalists a bad name.


 



Canned meat - the spinach of Dog

Canned tomatoes are very versatile

Not bad with cubed tofu, either.  Also, what about vegetarian lasagna, eggplant parmesan, vegetable soup.  More recipes are here, some vegetarian, but you can always substitute ground turkey or leave out the beef.

Mac n Cheese with canned tuna
I know it sounds gross, but it is totally awesome!

Also, a great next day meal for left over pork chops: Pork Fried Rice (my way lol)

Cut the pork chops up in pieces. Cook enough rice for however many are eating, and then in a skillet put a little bit of oil and cook a couple of eggs (I do one per person). Scramble them up and then take them out and set them apart in a bowl. Add a little more oil to the skillet, and throw in the rice. Stir it around for a few minutes, and then add salt and pepper, some terriyaki sauce, and half a bag of frozen mixed veggies (green beans, corn, and carrots). Stir this around until the veggies are thawed but still a little crisp. Add the egg back in and stir it all up. If you have sesame seeds throw those in.

Oh and don't forget to put the pork back in!

That's one of my hubby's faves that I make.
Actually it is answering the one who said should be canned, creating hostile
work place- yours was not a good working situation also. I think people, unless in your situation, just do not realize what a problem others have. It is not something you try to do by making so many trips to the bathroom. People working for others sometimes just have to suck up things and as my mother would have said, consider the source- if you are rude, crude, inconsiderate, lacking manners- a person fits this category and you just take with a grain of salt and overlook others like this.
Love canned tomatoes!. Here are some ideas.
Put some frozen bean and cheese burritos in cassarole, pour tomatoes (doesnt matter if they are any flavor or not) over them, add cheese on top and bake at 350 til hot and cheese melted and brown. Or mix with chicken broth, chicken, cumin, pepper flakes (optional), other fave spices and make mexican chicken soup. Top with strips of toasted tortillas. Cook shredded chicken in tomatoes with fave mexican spices and serve on tortillas for mexican chicken rolls. Again, doesnt matter if called Italian tomatoes, will work with anything.
My cat only eats dog food and won't eat cat food or even tuna.
LOL
I am using Angel Food Network for help with food (sm)
Being much more careful not to waste food. No more fast food. Soda only if bought in a two-liter bottle, not singles or fountain. Most of my money waste was spent on food.
Pet food recall -- dog food and cat food
http://us.iams.com/iams/en_US/jsp/IAMS_Page.jsp?pageID=PCA&articleID=300003
Looks like someone needs to get a life. The canned creamed soups from Campbell
are delicious, healthy (if you use Healthy Choice), and makes endless recipes WITH chicken breasts, fresh veggies, etc. You'd never be invited to our home because we use A LOT of canned stuff! Merry Christmas!
I was lucky - I had some canned Nutro Max but my kitty didn't like it, (sm)
which is unusual for her. Usually she'll eat just about any kind of canned food. When I read about the recall, I had 3 cans of it and I tossed it out. But FIRST, I wrote "RECALLED" on the can in Marks-A-Lot, just in case any dumpster-divers got hold of it and wanted to feed it to their cat. So for now we're sticking to Friskies & Fancy Feast wet, and Royal Canin dry cat food.
Any recipe ideas that can use canned tuna and rice?

I'm scraping the bottom of my pantry barrel so to speak.  I just found canned tuna that I forgot I had and a box of instant brown rice.  Any ideas on combining those two?


Thanks.


 


Is it safe to drink unopened canned items
That have been refrigerated for a couple weeks. Found a can of pineapple juice my husband put in the refrigerator a couple weeks ago, but didn't open. I know it's not safe to put open cans in the refrigerator, not sure about something that has not been opened yet.
I've used canned tomatoes in tossed salad in the wintertime...
because I can't stand the plastic tomatoes they sell out of season in the store. I also use them in tuna salad, chicken salad, etc. In summer, we grow our own, but for winter the canned ones are great, especially the petite-diced.
I've given dry + canned + cubed skinless chicken breasts.
Snacks have been:

1. Generic "beggin' strips" like you.
2. Cheese bits, but little or no other dairy.
3. Now and then (expensive), dried chicken strips that have glucosamine & chondroitin for joints. Otherwise, I use a powder with G & S that says it also adds fiber. A couple of tbsp of this mixed in their food per day.

The chicken I add is one breast between two dogs AM and PM, so they each get one whole chicken breast per day (skinless, removing any fat). I also let them lick the two baking dishes whenever I fix the chicken. Now and then they also do the dinner dishes in order to save on our hot water bill. They're such good kitchen help I've been trying to get them dishwasher jobs, but the only restaurant that was interested didn't offer benefits. :)
Not a dessert. And what is it with all this canned stuff. People use fresh these days. Cook a sm
chicken breast, for goodness sake.  Do not open a can and serve it to guests. 
Our Chihua/rat terrier mix will eat any kind of fruit, even canned stuff. And fresh

Canned pumpkin - not pumpkin pie filling but sm
take your mix, add 1 can (i think 15 oz?) and one cup of water. Mix and bake as usual. This is an old Weight Watchers friendly recipe and is about 100 calories per serving, high in fiber and DELICIOUS. Make great cup cakes too.
Puppy eating cat food, cats eating puppy food...
So I have three cats and a five month old puppy.

Cats eat Felidae, Puppy eats Canidae... or at least that is how it is supposed to be.

Both species eat mainly dry, but puppy gets wet at night when she is in "her room" (kitties do not go in puppy's room at night).

I cannot keep kitties out of Candiae and I cannot keep puppy out of Felidae

Can I relax or is this going to hurt either of them?

Advice very much appreciated!

TIA

cat food
My dog eats the cat food all the time, no problems.  I was actually told that when dogs are sick and won't eat it is good to give them cat food because it is so tasty to them.  My cat also will eat the moist dog food with no problem.  I wouldn't worry about it.
dry cat food
Please please educate yourself on your animal companion's needs when it comes to diet and nutrition, please read below article for some exceptional insight into our cats and their food requirements. This is only one site, but there are many more that support these facts.

I don't put anything on my food....
except maybe a little salt and butter on my veggies.  No ketchup, no mustard, no mayo, no syrup on my pancakes, just a tiny bit of salad dressing to taste.  Been that way my entire life.
Sorry. I was only looking for the food rec
and didn't see the sad stuff.
Red food dye #5 in the food. sm
Most dog foods have red food dye in them and many labs and lab mixes are allergic to red food dye. Try finding a food without the red food dye and give it a couple of weeks. You'll probably see a HUGE difference.

Cat food

Has anyone fed their cat Science Diet's CD dry food for FUS? My 8-year-old male, Sam, has been on this for about 5 years with no recurrence of FUS. To keep him away from any other type of food, I have fed the other two the same; however, we now are up to 6 cats, 4 males/2females, and it is getting too expensive. Thinking I could feed all of them a very good dry food and add some CD to Sam's, but cannot decide what would be a good choice.


Thank you.


I never put pet food out just to put out but
I was going to try to feed the Great Dane (she ran off before I could get outside). I am not really in country, have close neighbors but woods behind our homes and see deer and such in the neighborhood (out in my yard twice since 2004). There is a wildlife preserve a few streets away where the other animals seen including geese, deer and the coyotes. I just try to feed all animals who come in the yard-if they act friendly enough.
Food
Fish.....baked, fried, broiled, grilled....
Always have food with him.
I haven't been there since the 1980s, and even then the cheapest food we could find in a restaurant was about a $9 hamburger!
What is it with the food?
We got very nice gifts this year but also ended up with more food items than usual; Harry and David Moose Munch, Hickory Farms fudge, Harry and David truffles, Harry and David double chocolate cashews, homemade cookies, and a homemade carrot cake loaf! It is all really good, but I have a belly ache from eating all of this stuff. Not to mention I will surely pack on the pounds if I keep eating it. LOL
NS food sm
I thought most of the food was fine. You can choose what you'd like by going to their website. It's very easy, it keeps track of what you have and need to get still (like how many desserts, or lunches, etc) Believe it or not, their hambergers (IMO) were delicious!!! Good luck!! You will find yourself not able to eat all of what you are supposed. I liked NS, but it just got expensive for me (not really that bad, but I have a hubby and two kids and still needed to do grocercy shopping trips for them).

She could cook her host family a meal of foods common to America that they may be unfamiliar with.

This isn't as diverse but maybe as a reminder of her she could give them a state tree, state flower, or other from her hometown.

dog food
You are correct, the grocery store pet food is all pretty poor quality filled with carcinogens and unhealthy carbs and anything else in the slaughter house not fit for human consumption. Someone opened my eyes to these ingredients about 5 years ago and I was horrified. Google commercial pet food ingredients. I feed all my animals human grade holistic pet food, yes more expensive, but they eat less and have a lot less health problems eliminating expensive vet visits so in the long run it is cost effective. Some great ones are New Balance, Wellness, Innova, California Natural, Solid Gold to name a few. I consider myself an expert on this subject after educating myself after my beloved collie died of cancer, could kick myself because it never occurred to me to wonder what was in her food, just figured it was good, NOT! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. You are always so helpful in your tech answers, maybe I can help you in this one area. Good luck.
What food do you not like to eat?

This is the food that I refuse to eat:


Carbonated beverages
Mayo (Mayonnaise)
Tomatoes
Onion
Spicy Food
Jalapeņos
Plain Milk (In cereal it is ok)
Bananas
Beer
champagne
soy milk
coffee
olives
hot peppers
green & red peppers
parmesan cheese
blue cheese salad dressing
raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing
spinach
coconut
mango
tofu
eggplant
yams
cottage cheese
artificial cheese (Mac & Cheese in a box)
cheese flavor gold fish crackers (Bad memory when I got sick as a kid from eating too many)


There is probably more, but this is what I can think of now.


Food Stamps
I just got back from the store and the lady in front of me had 2 small kids and paid with food stamps.  When I was loading my groceries in my car, she was putting her children in car seats and driving a BRAND NEW CADILLIAC ESCALDE!!  This thing was LOADED!  Grrrrrrrr! 
Maybe she was buying food for someone?
If your car is above a certain value, you don't qualify for food stamps.

She may have buying food for someone with their food stamps/food stamp card.




Ask your vet which food they ALL can eat. BTDT nm.

food stamps
The thing is that some people do abuse the system and always will.  But I do think there are people who really need help sometimes. 
how about chewing food?
or worse yet, drinking (slurping) quite rude, I think!
I was at all inclusive but had the food out from
there and what I had was delicious. One side trip we took was a trip up the river and a BBQ dinner in a cleared out space. I did not stay exclusively in the all inclusive, too much to see in the shopping, restaurants, etc. I really would go back again. That is 1 trip that I really loved.
It is probably food related.
Have you switched foods lately? Most gas is food related in dogs and cats. High quality can still give the toots.
My cat is in the ICU due to poisoned food.
My cat is in the hospital with an IV due to kidney failure.  I have tried twice to call Menu Foods to find out about filing a claim to cover the vet bill, but no one has called back.  My poor cat is the innocent and has to suffer at the hands of whoever put the poison in the wheat gluten.  Has anyone who is experiencing this with their pet been able to get through?  I'm heartbroken that I may lose her.  Even though I have two dogs, the house seems lonely.
