RGS: I use' to hab ceestisees regular. Many treep to ved. Terreeble, terreeble. Then the Wooman started the theenk. Then she poot moch water een my pellets so I hab to go bobbeen' por the pelleds, and dreenk the water. No more ceestisees por three years now.
Estorbo, hermano, i think i would have eaten those canned fish, but i like fresh fish better, too. Your Wooman is so smart to add water to your pellets...i have had terrible urinary tract problems including two urinary tract blockages that almost killed me. And then i had to have surgery that i'd rather not talk about. I still get crystals in my urine...which the v.e.t. says wouldn't happen as often if i only ate my pellets instead of munching in all the other cats' food.
