thanks!!

I have another question. Where do you get the crystal litter? Can you get it in a larger volume than what the vets give you to get a urine sample, which is a very small amount that doesnt cover hardly any of a small litter pan. "Niki" looks at it like it is emply and will hold out until 24hrs...

ooops, i meant "eggs" instead of protein (i use organic egg yolk couple times a wk.)

hey, I appreciate your feedback & concern regarding ingredients of cat foods. I have a can of Nutro Max Cat Gourmet Classics Senior in front of me & I do not see listed as ingredients: rice bran - beef liver - carrageenan - beef - iodized salt - glucosamine hydrochloide - chondroitan sulfate - I...

Thanks for the site on the Dr. Smith's (I also have catalog at home) product. Had to laugh visualizing you and your kitty w/the brown goop all over. I like the info. on the Carpon. Yes, life is all about checking everything out isnt it and then go whatever feels right.

Thanks for both your input.. actually the Nutro Max Cat Gourmet Classics Senior was a suggestion from TCS.. because: it has a moderate amt. protein and fat, easier to digest - has all the nutirents in right area levels for seniors. Contains DL-Methionine which acidifies urine and has decreased...

Hey that's a thought to check into. What is the name of that "Scientific" litter you mentioned? Wonder if anyone out there has tried that and the accuracy of ph readings? Thanks! "Niki's" mom

You can check the ph level in urine with either the sticks or papers available at some pharmacys'. Has anyone been able to "catch" a sample from their cat using these, in order to check the ph level at home? I'd love to be able to compare to what lab report from vet says.

After switching to Nutro Max Cat Gourmet Classics Senior Can food for 2 months Niki has struvite crystals in her urine still. A little higher amount. Her ph is the same 7. The vet recommends Science Diet WD along with discontinuing any supplements. I am going to try the "Carpon" for a month...

Thanks for the reminder on Carpon by Dr. Belfield. I'll check out the article regarding crystals. I give my "Niki" the Mega C Plus developed by Dr. Belfield as dietary supplement. I just found locally, Max Cat Gourmet Classics Senior Dry food for cats. Does anyone know a good percentage on...

I rinse the filter in purified water every two weeks along with taking apart the fountain & rinsing out the diff. parts. I change the filter every month. Keeping it filled it with purified water from Culligan.

I got one of those "fresh flow" by PetMate drinking fountains for Niki, she loves it..when it was new to her she would splash water all over. I got one of those pads that absorbs water to put under it (along with having a towel close by). I drilled a hole in my kitchen desk, so I could keep...

Violet, that's great, thanks a mil. Now would it be o.k. to pass this on to a friend of mine who lives in Southern Calif.? I told her about thecatsite so hopefully she'll join & get all this good info/support as I have. Thanks, Trudy

I'm looking for a current list of holistic health care providers for cats in California. If anyone knows of where I may obtain such info. I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks! Trudy

O.K. here's four different brand of wet foods I'd like to get comparisons on if available: for my 10 year old Niki. Innova Lite Cat Food for the older, inactive or overweight cat Felidae Cat and Kitten Formula Chicken and Rice in chicken broth Nutro Max Cat Gourmet Classics Senior...

Thanks so much for the link on Dry Cat Food Comparisons! Is there any such information on wet cat foods? Trudy again

I tried to bring up the "Cat Food Comparison Charts" but it didnt come up to view, perhaps it dropped off? Also does anyone out there have input on what a good number would be for percentage of: Calcium - Ash & Phosphorus on canned cat foods? Happy New Year To Everyone, Trudy & "Niki"

Hi Mauld, I am not an expert in Cat Nutrition so I wouldnt want to suggest what you feed your cats. I just go by my "little voice" after reading different books like: The New Natural Cat by Anitra Frazier (I consider that the "bible" of all books) The Encyclopedia of Natural Pet Care by CJ...

Hey I'm totally impressed your vet endorsed Nutro for your cats. All the vets in my area try to push the Science Diet brand.
