I finally got some $$ together and took them both in. I got a discount for bringing in the two at one - considering they have gained a bit of weight, I'd say they qualify for a BULK discount, all right! :D

Cole is just over 5, Oscar is 8 in January. No shots this year - teeth, temp, thyroid, bladder, kidneys, eyes were brilliant! Heart beats nice and low.

Bought some Medi-Treats and we were on our way. They were VERY good boys! :-)

Note on their report card: Try for a modest amount of weight loss. Ok, boys, that's all three of us!:p:)

Not that this is for every cat, but this is what I feed them etc:

1. Origen dry - high protein, keeps the urine pH at a point that inhibits crystals. Just over 1/2 c a day each, in three servings. The first serving is a light crunchy base for the soft food goop (see below).

2. Medical SO (urinary tract formula). 1/8 of a can, soaked in a bowl of hot water, drained and split between the two of them, with 1/2 tsp of salmon oil mushed in. I got it at a pet store. Less stinky formula - and the boys love it!

3. Treats - MediCal, Greenies or non-grain/organic treats. (no 'fast food' treats like Temptations, etc)

Must be doing something right - so far, the vet bills have been for maintenance.:D

I wish my boys would eat Greenies. They turn their noses up at any treats but Temptations. They don't get very many of these, so I don't feel too guilty!
