...as clarification to your confusion, the urination is taking place, as i said, where a cat or small dog can crawl under (a heating system in the basement), and i can't fit under it to clean it up, let alone treat it with any sprays or odor-absorbing powders. (It's against the wall and close...
...thank you, everyone, for your replies!...i didn't mean to "single out" anyone with the direct quote that i quoted.
I do refuse to give details behind my question, as they're irrelevent to you, the readers. In reading your several replies and the certain conditions that you state and accept...
...okay, everyone...i'm gonna switch gears here a little...you're NOT gonna believe what i'm gonna ask!...
Without hanging out any "dirty laundry" here, do you find it acceptable to walk in your home, and have the smell of urine knock you down?!!
Please respond honestly! Some of you may have...
Is k/d kidney dialysis? If so, no...currently (i don't think) Edgar doesn't need dialysis. I think, tho', his kidney failure is in early/mid stages.
The (new) vet has been wonderful! - caring and gentle, both with Edgar AND us! She's given us many options, and it's up to us in which...
Everything you're saying is accurate, per my vet's handout on this disease. We originally tho't Edgar HAD hyperthyroidism, but when his blood tests indicated negative, i admit i was disappointed, as it was "treatable". Now, in knowing that disease can spawn kidney disease, i guess i'm relieved...
Well, everyone...
Seems as though Edgar may have the onset of kidney disease, as his urinalysis show "diluted" urine. If you don't already know, it's actually good when a cat's urine is concentrated - that indicates the kidneys are fully filtering the toxins in the blood. The doctor said that...

...having been recently downsized from the corporate world, i now own and operate a mail and parcel center (our types of businesses are called MPC's)...the concept is similar to The UPS Store. I'm an authorized ship center for FedEx and USPS, we have private mailbox rentals, we copy, fax and...
I hope that Coco[puff] gets better soon! I'm assuming the eColi can be treated with antibiotics(?)... Edgar wheezes, too...do you treat Coco for her asthma? I don't know much about this, as i figured it was normal, being how a cat's little nose is similar (it's pushed in) to pugs, boxers and...
Thank you everyone for your kind words, prayers, and good vibes sent to our dear little Edgar-cat!
Comically, Edgar had to spend the night last nite at the veterinarian's, because he was being too much of a kitten (squirmy) when the doctor tried to get a urine specimen! (I heard this squealing...
I wanted to thank everyone for their concern and advice regarding our dear little Edgar-cat!
We have an appointment for next Tuesday evening, October 14th, with another veterinarian to get a second opinion. This doctor has "senior wellness" in their advertisement, AND she's in our end of town...
Good boy, Badgerkittie!...Good boy! (i'm pretending i'm petting and praising!)
It DOES sound like Badger's a handful...full of personality and individualism, though!
Dogs AND cats can indeed be man's best friend!
I am still awed how social cats can be, in spite of the "aloof and unavailable"...
