I used Feline Pine for a couple of years until one of my cats developed struvite crystals. My vet told me then that I should change to a clumpable litter... suggesed Tidy Cat Multiple Cat formula (I have two kitties). He said that the feline pine "holds on" to the urine odor and that cats don't...

So I guess my guy is ok... I was just concerned because he just started doing this recently. It looks like he's trying to "prepare" his bed in some way... but it sounds like he's just happy. Maybe it's the Feliway I just started using... thanks!

My largest cat has started a strange ritual before lying down on my bed. He'll knead the bedding with both his front and hind legs with his back sort of arched... and he'll do this for a long time before he finally settles in. He just started doing this a couple of weeks ago. He does not "knead"...

I have two male cats - litter mates, 4.5 years old. Zoobie had a serious urinary blockage 4 months ago (vet said he would have died had I waited even 12 hours to take him in). Long story short... 5-day hospital stay, catheterization, weeks of medication, multiple cat food trials. He's eating...

My vet told me that cats should not have fish at all.... he rattled off a list of reasons, but what stuck with me was the issue with too much magnesium. He said that almost every commercial brand of cat food has some type of fish product in it, but it's only there because cats react to it so...

Just picked up Zoobie from the vet. The vet has him on valium, uro-eze, baytril, and prednisolone. Zoobie has always been good about taking pills, so the vet thinks he'll be ok taking the uro-eze and eating the Purina u/r instead of the Hill's s/d. Zoobie seems very happy to be home. He's going...

Vet just called... they're keeping him overnight. His bladder is hard and obviously still has a lot of the struvite crystals, and his urine is bloody. They're giving him valium and prednisolone in hopes that the inflammation will go down so that he can urinate. The vet says that Zoobie...

I'm still waiting to hear from the vet!!!!

I woke up this morning to a glob of Zoobie's vomit, which is sad because he's hardly eating anything at all. He wouldn't touch his s/d this morning but begged for his brother's regular food. I'm calling the vet when they open at 7:30. Thanks for everyone's comments. I'm a nervous wreck.

Yes, they did find struvite crystals with a large amount of sediment. Do you have any idea how long the recovery might be? I just pray that I can get him on a prescription diet that he will eat.

Hi, all... this is my first time to post. My four-year-old male kitty, Zoobie, spent five days in the hospital for a urethral obstruction... he was released a week ago last Friday. I can hardly get him to eat his special food (Hill's s/d). One day he seems to be getting better, and then the next...
