I'm at the vet with Miss Meow as she has been vomiting. We got to start with a fun game of hide and seek in the garden. Fortunately I managed to avoid claw marks. She is not impressed with the whole process.

Fingers crossed for Miss Meow. 🤞

Melbcat had the same thing and still had issues on prescription food so if Miss Meow doesn’t settle or like it don’t be afraid to go onto the single protein grain free stuff.

If you wanted recs

For dry food, Meals For Meows had a recall but their Mackerel and Salmon was the go to. I went to Taste Of The Wild in Canyon River/trout and smoked salmon but if you can’t get it MfM is probably ok now. These ones are around the bottom of that category’s price bracket. Pricey but still probably cheaper than prescription and better quality.

Wet food was homebrand Colesworth in tuna mince, then Weruva in Steak Frites or Lamburgini. The fish flavours of Dine Desire or Fancy Feast Royale are not nutritionally complete but were tolerated as well.

I use BioBlitz to clean anything biological and a cheap black light torch helps find sneaky pukes.

I hope Miss Meow is ok.

Hopefully nothing! It was with my Miss, just an inability to eat kangaroo at a civilised speed
