Seattle2007 Hi there again Tara! Unfortunately, many pet food companies have been deceiving the public because the awareness for pet nutrition is not as important as it is with humans so they don't get more widespread attention. However, more information is coming to...

Seattle2007 Hi Tara...I would truly have your cat evaluated for a lower urinary tract disorder as it is very common for cats to inappropriately soil because they are associating the pain of the litter boxes with the painful urination. Cats with lower urinary tract...

Seattle2007 Hi there again...they are serious, but boy when you are really suffering and need something to intantly (literally) kill the pain, Toradol is the best. I prefer to take this over any narcotic any day--not masking the pain, but killing it!
