Jack is a Hogg! (not being too rude, he's great 8)) But he is such a mooch, I break his meals down into small amounts (when I can, I work - got to pay for his ping pong balls!) But he eats so quickly and everything at once. The problem? Vomiting. He's been in a 'rescue centre' for 4, yes 4years!! ( :censored: Don't get me started!!) So I think he's just had dry food, which he still eats ( no teeth..) but i'm thinking the wet food is maybe too rich - he loves it though. But he will still stuff himself with dry and vomit!
Lots of info/Q's - sorry.
Different thread probably - been thinking he might like a FIV pal to chill with? He might just be really jealous/threatened? Thoughts?
But I couldn't get another - because of the food. How could I feed them - Jack would eat it all!!! Greedy :naughty:
Thoughts on the vomiting? Shedding fur ATM? Causing vomiting?
-
you could get one of those timer feeding dishes?
the fur thing is just a matter of brushing more regularly while he is getting rid of his winter coat

:thanks: Done, and doing. (Should I get a metal comb? I have one with 'rubber tipped spines' and a 'normal' hair brush type)
No chance of another cat though? Think he would be jealous/territorial? (I'm don't know why i'm even letting it cross my mind, it's too soon - but i'm thinking company for him, he probably just likes his own company - and he would still eat the timer food!!

they're all different - some love company some don't - It trial and error

I always use the wire slicker brushes on my guys, the love being brushed with them which helps too.

This is the kind of comb i find useful for getting lots of dead hair out:

How long have you had him? It can take a long time for them to loose the feeling of this could be your last meal so scoff it quick.
What brands are you feeding him?

Thanks, i'm brushing him regulary - but a new brush might be in order. ;D
I've had him for just over 2 months. I'm still trying different foods - but mainly whiskers in jelly (he does like the pate (whiskers/gourmet gold, but they are a bit too rich - vomit :sick:) But he's not fussy, he'll eat anything! Loves dry food (despite no teeth) I give him Go-Cat for indoor cats (he is indoor, but it helps the 'kibbles' are round - i'm guessing he swallows them whole!) Thanks.

you might want to try the pets at home own brand dry food (in a silver bag) its a pretty reasonable price but the nutritional content is much better than go cat

Hopefully he wont throw up a better quality biscuit! Whiskas wet/dry can be rich for some, if you want an average wet food try felix, its blander imo.
