    I've never heard of Aims.  Do you know if it has ethoxyquin in it?
    At the rate Flame is eating I"m going to have to put him on a diet
    soon.
      And Jesse too!

   I believe .0 meant Iams "Less Active".
    

    OH - of course...silly me!  In that case, it does have ethoxyquin
    in it.
    

    Why don't you try Science Diet "Lite" if that doesn't work ....
    
    Terri's siamese Tia is a "blobber" (as she calls her), she has colitis
    and got really fat and her vet recommended Science Diet.  Tia has
    lost all the weight and is looking good!

    I didn't know Iams had a diet formula!!!  I must buy some..
    
    Speaking of my mumma kitty (who is approx four or five years old
    according to the vet) has been gaining weight lately.
    
    I have two cats and split a can of Kal Kan between them and then
    put out only about a *handful* of Iams dry.  at night they get another
    can of Kal Kan, and thats usually it.  This is a regular size can
    of cat food, and I don't know what the problem is!!  I mean, she
    is starting to look *fat*.  My baby kitty is fine.  They both run
    around the house like lunatics and I play with them too....

      I just picked up a milk container size package this weekend,  I
    happened to see it in a display at Agway in Plaistow.  My guys are
    eating it up, so it must taste good.  We'll try it for a while, see if
    some of the extra tonage disappears.  The pieces are small and round,
    a lot smaller than the regular Iams.

    re: .5
      I split one can of CD between SIX cats.  I know CD is much better
    food, but an entire can of Kal Kan between two cats sounds like
    alot to me.  Are we talking 13 oz cans or the 6 oz ones.  The CD
    is a 15 oz can.  They get about 85% of it.

    sorry about the spelling, you guys are right.  silly me nancy but
    what's the stuff that you were interested in?  you know, the ingredient
    with the long name?  (smile)... i don't have the name in front of me to
    copy it.
    
    anyhoo, science diet lite has been tried to reply to another replier
    but they don't seem to like it.  i've also tried feeding them 1/2 can
    each in the a.m. and 1/2 each in the p.m. and mix dry in with both
    those feedings but i'm finding shirly leaves her food around for a while
    to munch on later and verne just gobbles it up before she gets back to
    it.  he weights in at 13.5 pounds and shirl is a mere 9 pounds.  so, in
    other words; verne better smarten up.  i started feeding them
    upstairs when they were declawed instead of in the kitchen and have
    found shirl to like eating up there alone better.  she won't come
    downstairs to eat with the monster.  she just wines at the top of the
    stairs until i give in and bring it to her.  i think she likes eating
    alone more then anything.  verne can be such a monster when he wants
    to.  
    
    so, back to the original note; i haven't had a chance to try this stuff
    out yet because i'm trying to finish our science diet lite sampler first. 
    by the way things look it won't be for another week or so.
    
    i hope they like it better then the science diet lite!
    
    
    carlajeanne, a fat verne and a normal shirl.
                                                               

    Carlajeanne - that's ETHOXYQUIN and its in both Hills dry & Iams.
    I wonder if any of the other manufacturers make a lite formula.
    Maybe I ought to call Carnation and suggest that they develop a
    lite formula.

    Oh no!!  I split a can between them it has to be the smallest size
    can available.  Not like the "fancy feast" brand size but the regular
    size..  I don't know the ounce.  Its a small can!  I can't even
    see me trying to feed two kitties on a 16 ouz can. 8*)  Here ya
    go (LUMP!)..  
    
    But I guess some people do that..
    
    I still can't figure it out..  maybe because she was a stray once,
    and after a year she finally feels comfortable so she's eating alot?

    Hi I am a new noter here and will introduce my Oliver soon. What
    is ethozyquin?  Is there a note you can point me to.  I've been
    reading forever and decided to look at some of the more recent notes.
    
    Thanks for your help.

    Type SHOW KEY/FULL ETHOXYQUIN at the notes prompt.
