Jenn, thank you so much for posting this. I've always been very "anal" (pardon the pun) about watching my furbabies pee and poo just to make sure the quality and quantity is up to par.

Speckles had quite a few UTI's when I first got her 8 years ago at the age of 10, so now I watch her every move and check the size of each pee biscuit.

Max has had a couple of bouts of crystals but that was quickly remedied with the proper diet.

Experience and education has taught me the signs and symptoms of any bladder problems so hopefully my kitties will live a long and healthy life.

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your kitty.
