Curious About A Lot of Things...

Ladybug70, isn't that Purina One food great? I've tried all the urinary tract foods my vet recommended, and my boys didn't like them. They have both been eating this food for over a year and they still love it and come running when they hear me pouring it into their bowls! That has to be some kind of cat record! Hoping Blackie stays healthy and unblocked!

katladyd,
just wanted to say, don't let "country" fool you. Our area is rural, it was even more rural than it is now back when we had our other cats when we first moved here. They still got killed on the road.
Other things to consider when you are in the country are things like coyotes, hawks and eagles. Hawks will take kittens and smaller cats, as will eagles, and coyotes are a threat to cats and small dogs. We have all 3 of those predators here where I live in South Jersey.
I'll never have another outdoor cat again unless we can afford to build some kind of enclosure.

To all commenting on urinary issues and feeding dry.
Have you done your own research? It all points to wet food diets being best not only for cats with urinary issues, but also for all cats.
Another thing to consider when you have a cat with urinary issues: Make sure a full spin test of the urine is done, not just a litmus paper dip. Get a copy of the urinalysis, read it & research the results and then research foods to find a good one for your particular results.
