I hope they got it time so he doesn't need special food for life.Or worse an expensive operation,then special food for life.Their harder to place.I see so many cats at shelters for too long because the sign on the cage says"needs special food for life or will get UTI again".So many many cats get that.I had 2 that had it.They should remove the awful food from the regular super markets off the shelves.Most are bad for UTI'S.Except for Iams I think.I'm not sure what else is good there.I learned my lesson the hard way.Poor kitty's and cats have it rough with all the problems they so easily can get just from reg. cat food.
