Prescription food (c/d) cured Smudge's crystals, but then he got plugs instead (although he managed to pass them all, good kitty!) That was about the same time he started refusing petroleum-based anti-hairball treats. Didn't even want Temptations any more! So I wondered if somehow his insides couldn't handle petroleum. I'll never know (it could have been just leftover cells & junk from the damage the crystals had caused) but I did find a petroleum-free anti-hairball treat that he likes (Cat Lube) and he still enjoys them.

Glad you're home, brave little Jim! Now that you can pee comfortably, PLEASE pee in the right place...

Love, Columbine
