FELO Taurine - Taurine Supplement for Cats, Taurine for Cats, Taurine Powder for Cat - 16 Oz, Powder (Thomas Pet Earlier)

I have five cats. One is a new addition to the family because she is a stray that showed up because one of my kids forgot to close my garage door and she got in and murdered a bag of cat food. She's mine now, because in her mind, according to the law of stray cats, I fed her. She acts like she has always been here now, but I don't give her taurine because she gets enough from everything that moves outside. The other four cats are indoor cats. Two are 13-year-olds and have only ever eaten expensive cat food. And two are 4-year-olds that have also only ever eaten expensive cat food. I watched my two older cats' age. One of them lost a lot of weight even though she eats like a wilderness lioness and her little ribs were sticking out. I tried everything with her, wet food, people food, eggs and oatmeal, coconut oil and more. Nothing worked and so I convinced my vet that she is likely suffering from a thyroid condition, and she agreed and let me buy her special cat food for thyroid problems. She liked it, but it didn't do anything and her energy levels began to tank. The other 14-year-old was also starting to lose weight, which helped her arthritis, but she also seemed to be losing much of her kitty spunk. Even the two four-year-olds were starting to take a lot of naps. I was told by other cat people that this is just a normal part of having cats, and in my experience, I had to agree. This is just how cats act. I was coming to terms with the idea that my cats were just normal cats and not some sort of super beings when I stumbled across a social media commercial about how shelter cats outlive indoor pets and are only fed cheap cat food. They made outrageous claims about shelter cats living up to 20 years. I almost doom-scrolled right past it at that point. My mind told me that no shelter was dumb enough to house a cat for 20 years, but then I sneezed and coughed a few times, and they said that the secret was taurine. I knew that humans produced a natural source of taurine and it was essential for energy. In some other dark recess of my twisted mind, I remembered hearing stories about people's cats gnawing on them if they were inconsiderate enough to die without feeding their cats beforehand. Things began to click in my mind and I realized, cats probably do need taurine. I did a few quick google searches, and sure enough, not only do cats need taurine, but they also don't make their own and rely on getting it from the things they can capture with their murder mittens. Indoor cats don't have a good source because flies, spiders, and the occasional gym sock they hunt in the house don't seem to have enough taurine to keep them going. I decided to give it a try and found FELO on amazon. It had a lot of stars, so I knew plenty of people thought it was good for their fur babies, so I bought some. I put some in their water receptacle (a large glass mug that they stole from me and refuse to give back). I also sprinkle their dry food every morning. Since I have been using this product, I have noticed that they are more playful, their coats are softer, and they always have a little taurine beard. My skinny 14-year-old is also improving. She's still cranky, but her coat has thickened up. I can still feel her ribs, but they are not as meatless as they had been. So, this product is a great value. Maybe I should buy some cheap cat food and see if that claim is true. My cats can live off the cheap cardboard bits as long as I put taurine on it. I'm kidding of course, the taurine is an essential ingredient to their life now and I will never go back to just feeding them store bought cat food.

Easy to add to cats food. For this very important nutrient.

Seems to work. My cat is 12 years old and Seems like a young cat.

This is as it is described in the details. Time will tell if it help our cats.

Easy to use add to food . Cats do not react to it .

Cats need Taurine. Maximilian is fussy. He turns away from so many supplements added to his food. He did not hesitate to eat his food the first time I added it. I was thrilled. He gets it 1 x every day. I feel good knowing he is getting this essential supplement.

Holy Cr-moly! My cats LOVE this stuff. It's just powder but it must taste like treats from the gods. I stir it into their mass produced cat fastfood and feel a little better about their health.

The product is NOT water-soluble. I stirred it for a few minutes, and it just settled to the bottom of the water bowl. My next attempt was to mix it into her wet food, and it clumped.
