The Kitty Drama Continues

Just as it looked like Lucy was finally on the mend, she's had a bit of a relapse. According to the vet, her urinary tract infection is all cleared up, but her kitty-pee is a little sub-par. And, at the Gottwoods, we always strive to "pee the best", so clearly this is unacceptable. The problem is that her pee is too basic (as in the opposite of acidic) which means that it is easy for crystals to form which makes it easier to get another infection and so on and so forth. Luckily, this is a problem that is easily fixed:

That, my friends, is special pee-balancing prescription kitty food. Available only from the vet. Of course, if we feed it to one cat, there's no way to get around feeding it to all three. Luckily, Danger finds it quite delectable (he is a picky eater - he usually whines until Jeremy licks the sauce off his chicken for him). We are happy to have such an easy fix, and are really glad that there isn't anything more serious wrong with Lucy. However, let me just repeat: this is prescription cat food - available only from the vet. It is a tad more expensive than the cut-rate Friskies that is a more typical kitty dinner option around here. Dear Future Children, you want to know why you have no college fund?!?! GO ASK THE CAT.
