Oh and she is the sweetest little thing. *I checked with the people
that lived around my pilates class to make sure no one owned her
because I am sure she climbed in there. *It is in a neighborhood with
a lot of cats. *I had made so many stops and she didn't cry until I
pulled in my garage and I could not find a cat anywhere so the only
place left to look was under the hood, I made my husband look and she
was sitting on top of the battery. *She was only 5 pounds and her nose
was a little burned but otherwise okay.

Aww. She probably did not cry because she was too terrified. I'm so glad she
wasn't hurt.

I am glad Gracie is doing so well with the shots. *I just feel like it
is a food allergy because the two times I switched her food, the very
next day her stools would be normal. *Almost like once the new food
gets into her system, she starts having loose stools.

That sure sounds like a food allergy. But bear in mind that these things
tend to come in groups. Gracie has food allergies but also reacts strongly
to fragrances and chemicals, perfumed sprays and cleaning agents send her
into asthma attacks. And the constant grooming from being itchy gives these
cats more hairballs.

I may just have to prepare human food for her.

You know, cats need things humans don't. For example, if you fed your cat
tuna and table food, even the most expensive people food, she might go blind
from the lack of taurine, something cats need that is not found in
sufficient amounts in human grade food. I think in nature it comes from
mouse guts and such.

My vet told me grains might be the culprit in Gracie's diet, but that many
cats have allergies to specific protein sources like beef, chicken, or fish.
This is why you find these lamb and venison cat foods. She gave me a dry
food that was expensive, lamb based I think, and Gracie would not touch it.

Neat! My Gracie actually likes yogurt, and any yogurt that says "active
cultures" has the lactobacilus acidophilus that is in the pills they are
selling. If you could get her to eat yogurt, even mixing it into her food
you might avoid pilling her. Good luck!

I have had Sienna since April and have not been able to keep her stool
firm for more then 2 weeks. *I started her with Wellness dry, then
Before Grain dry, then Science Diet DD, which she lasted the longest
on, then after I opened the 2nd bag, she started throwing up and would
not eat it. *The vet suggested it because she believes she has a food
allergy and even though the DD is for skin allergies, it worked on
another cat with very similar symptoms. *I also have another cat to
consider who eats the same food and was vomiting on the Before Grain.
This is literally starting to drive me nuts!!!!!! *Any input as to
what food would be best for food allergies??? *Any help would be
appreciated.

Don't feed your cats dry food.

Well I already ordered some stuff, will let you know how it works.
Glad to hear Gracie is getting a healthy treat!! I am sure Sienna
would like yogurt, too, I have a feeling she will eat anything (well
except Scient Diet DD RX food!).

I know what you mean. Gracie is odd, it is dairy she likes. Just the bowl
after I have ranch dressing, cottage cheese, ice cream or yogurt. She is
such a light eater, just kind of picks at things. We would love to see
pictures of your babies if you ever put them up on a site.

Usually people post urls (links) to their photo pages.
