A minute later, Fister was standing on the other side of the door miawing like crazy! He's used all his miaws for this week! OHHHH, it's so hard not to give him a little piece, he just loves it! Well, I did give him a very little (only what could fit in a spoon. I wish there was a list of things cats with this problem could eat, without getting sick again. The things he can't have is food containing too much Phosfor, Calcium and Magnesium.

By the way, our vet has just recenly got a new diet food he can have, it's called Urinary program by Royal Canin - and it also only has 15% fat in it! Luckily he likes it!

Hi, have you ever looked into raw feeding diet? It is wonderful, especially for a cat who has health problems. The reason why your cat goes nuts when he gets the raw liver is because cats are carnivores. They NEED the meat in their diet. Have you ever heard of a cat in the wild craving grains or fuits and veggies? I certainly haven't and that is because they can't digest it. They crave MEAT! Have you ever put thought as to why your cat is having health issues. It is because kibble is CRAP!!! Cats can't digest all those fillers that they put into the dried cat food! They can barely live on that garbage. And is absolutely the reason for his health problems. I guarantee you if you put your little critter on a raw diet his bladder issue would be non-existant! That vet of yours is making a ton of money off of you. I guarantee that you could feed your cat raw meat for a heck of alot cheaper that what he is charging you for that junk you are feeding your cat now. I have noticed HUGE changes in my cat for the better since I changed him over to raw. His temperment is better, he is more playful, he doesn't shed anymore, his litter box stopped stinking. Need I say more. Not to mention that I have read hundreds of emails from others like you who have had cats with health problems and have switched over to raw. They have all noticed that their cats health issues are gone. If you really care about your cat, do him a favor and get him off that junk. Trust me when I say that he will thank you for it. And you will safe a ton of money on vet bills.
