just look at the science diet ingredients then look up what an obligate carnivore should eat. science diet is a huge scam. over on diabetes groups, it's often called science death for its horribly inappropriate high carb crap ingredients. Check WWW.catinfo.org to see what a cat should eat. hint: not dehydrating dry food, especially for males or any cat with urinary tract problems.

So I finally quit using. Water fountains are great. Not only do the cats drink. They sit for hours watching the water go round and round. Only problem was, two or three of my cats started urinating around the fountain. Maybe they were trying to imitate it. Who knows what goes through the minds of cats. No, they didn't have UTI, just a bit of bad attitude. > > > > > > Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors too! > > > > ________________________________ > > From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2012 10:52 PM > Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] FELV+, Struvite Crystals, and Nutrition > > Vets push the Hills because Hills says to. > > > ---- Emma Beauchamp <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hello All, > > My cat Gertrude Penelope Pennyapple is a one year old baby and she has had FELV probably since she was born. She has always been very healthy despite the FELV and a chronic upper respiratory infection, but recently (Sunday night) she contracted a UTI.
