    Kim, I'm so sorry to hear that Pouncer's having problems again. It probably is due to stress. I'm pretty sure that Storm's was also due to stress but he also had a very small urethra so it was only a matter of time before he became blocked. Since Storm's surgery, I've been making sure that he gets plenty of water and I've been mixing his dry food in with wet food and adding a little more water. So far so good but I'll know more next month after his urinalysis check up. I think that putting the cats all on the same food is great idea. I sure hope that this will help Pouncer stay healthy. I'm sending prayers and postive thoughts to both you and Pouncer. Please continue to keep us updated about him.

    I'm sorry I didn't see this until now. I've been wrapped up in my own problems here.

    Max get's crystals quite often and he really doesn't like the SD much but he will eat it because he knows there is nothing else available. Before Specks got so sick, I would do what Glacier does and give them both SD when only Max needed it.

    Also at night I would crush up the SD into a powder and mix it in with the wet food. That seemed to help alot.

    Good luck Pouncer and get a good boy and eat what you need to, OK??
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    My entire crew is also eating c/d. After several problem cats I came to realize that the cost of the food was better than the cost of treating the crystals/bladder stones/blockages.

    If Pouncer has no choice, he WILL eat the food.

    I hear that. All my cats ate C/D from 1997 till 1999, because Smokey needed it. They didn't seem to object!

    If it's FLUTD (in Tigris case it is) then he doesn't need a diet as he doesn't form crystals. But water intake is important. I always add a teaspoon to Tigris' food.

    Tigris had now no symptoms for one year (is there any wood I can knock on?)
