    That's good that Galaxy likes the chicken broth. It's always easier when cats don't have to be forced to take their medicine.
    I actually meant if there was any change before Galaxy had the very first pee incident, something that could have triggered that behavior.
    Hopefully the vet can give you more advice.

    She had an earlier pee incident, in early September. Not sure what could have triggered that. There had been a maintenance person(s?) in the apartment to change or fix something a few days before, but that's happened many times in the past without setting her off.

    We wound up at the walk-in clinic/emergency vet that time. They did quite a thorough work-up, x-rays and urinalysis and bloodwork. They gave her a shot of Convenia and then a prescription med, Onsior, a three-day dose worth. The peeing stopped shortly after that. She stayed good for more than a month.

    Then she started up again these last few days. I can't think of anything out of the ordinary occurring this time that might have triggered it. I'll ask the vet tomorrow if those meds might be a way to go.

    Thanks again, Heidi!

    You should be able to get those pee pads even at Walmart. They have them in the pet section, I think they call them puppy pads. We use them at work all the time.
    Onsior is a good medication, but only for the short term. That's why it comes in only three doses.

    That's a good idea about the pee pads. Thanks, Heidi.

    I bet they have them at the Dollar Tree. (Wonder if ones they'd have are any good!)

    Miss Galaxy has been a very good, drip-free girl the last couple of days!
