Thanks, Margo (and everyone who helped). Lucky actually ate the RC s/o diet tonight! And he is at least going out to the cat boxes in the garage rather than trying to pee in the house. We have some anti-inflammatory to help with his "urgency" I hope. Hopefully we're crossing a bridge toward better health for Lucky! I know I can feed him separately, the problem is, the other cats still eat the dry food, and I need to keep him out of it. Wish us well! Bonnie

Using that could incline him towards oxylate stones, which are much more difficult to deal with.
