one week ago at this moment in time, my furry 4-leg friend and I found ourselves in the 24X7 Emergency Vet Clinic. Today after work exactly a week later, my poor cat has finally come home. He is on about 8 different pills, and will be sore for a month. I am on a 12 month payment plan for nearly 2 grand in Vet Bills. and ALL of this could have been avoided. My fellow cat owners, please read on:


There is a thing called FLUTD (Feline, Lower Urinary Tract Disorder) / Obstructive idiopathic cystitis

Essentially the gyst from what I have learned in the past week is very simple. Go get your bag of Cat Food. Got it? good. Read the ingredients. The first or second one is some kind of Corn Meal. Right? now throw it in the trash.

Cats do not digest Corn, wheat, soy, or any of these "fillers" the food companies put in the food to save costs. Think
about it. Wild cats eat Mice, Rats, MEAT. not Corn... Now don't feel so bad, cus this was all news to me too.

You want to look for cat food that will say loud and proud on the bag " does not contain Wheat, Soy, Animal Bi-products or Corn ! " yes. it will be more expensive. Not as expensive as what I just went through. And not as ugly as it almost was...

my poor cat is begging me to tell you. Investigate this. research. dont use crap food. In fact dont even buy it from the Grocery store, or Walmart at all because they do not carry reputable brands. They carry crap. Go to Pet Smart or your local feed store.
