Why are the first two ingrdients CORN. I'm going to try it because one of my cats is peeing more than normal .

I don't know - I started using the Purina One (any of their "flavors") because my cats are older and were throwing up all other dry foods. This is working for them: no more throw-up.

my two cats are sensitive to the fluoride (did I spell that right? ha) that is in my/most people's water....their stools are firm and NORMAL now....when they drank my tap water, their stools were horribly loose....not to be too graphic....for me to buy a 97 cent gallon of purified water at my local publix and use the drinkwell filters has made all the difference in the world.....

I have two cats and replace the pellets when I feel they are "getting old". Sometimes I replace them more than once a month and sometimes not. I do tend to add pellets when they are getting low. I don't notice that they smell or retain odor but as I said, sometimes they seem to need changing.

Do you scoop, clean and change the box often enough? Might try increasing that and see if it helps. Do you have a big enough litter box - good size and the right shape? That was key for mine who was doing this. You might also try keeping 2 litter boxes available (one for #1 and another for #2) if you can. Has something traumatic happened with your cat recently that could upset it (big changes, a move, another pet?) Is it eating and drinking normally? If all these things pan out, I then would talk to your vet about any medical issues (esp kidney or liver) that could cause it. But if it is otherwise perfectly healthy, it is usually behavioral. You just have to figure out the reason. Do you scoop, clean and change the box often enough? Might try increasing that and see if it helps.

The key is to have multiple boxes. I have two cats--one which is 18lbs and diabetic. He urinates alot! I like the box but question if it has enough odor control.

I mixed it with their drinking water. Since it contains alcohol, I measured carefully. It worked well for my cats

I think it's supposed to be the scent - what is in it I don't know. My cat liked the scent, but she didn't gravitate to the kitty box the way the other commenters described. I think the litter was coarser than she likes. She'll reluctantly use the kitty pan when she's unable to get outside, but otherwise she's not interested. Based on the other comments, I think it must be my picky cat rather than any defect in the litter.

It may be that your cat has urinary tract problems. Its all about crystals, rather like human gall stones. You need to check this with a vet as this causes a blockage which can be fatal for male cats. It can be treated with a special diet and lots of water.

My two cats (male and female) had the same diet. When the male cat was prescribed this for his struvite stones, the vet said it was a good idea to feed them both Urinary SO since it was probable that the female was developing stones but was not exhibiting symptoms since the female's anatomy didn't present a choke point for stones the way a male's did. They both love it (fortunately).

I don't have that information but what I can tell you is that my cats are eating less than a third of what they were eating. So Merrick Before Grain is filling them up faster than my previous choice for cat food.

I have three cats of which only one (male) has urinary cysts. He was prescribed this diet, the wet food, wth the instructions to be fed seperate from the other two. I knew before I tried that it would not work (the seperate feeding) and feeding all three would be quite pricey. But so was a $300 vet bill and a very sick cat. All three are on a breakfast, lunch and dinner schedule. All have adpated to the food and scheduling and all are healthy.

First let me say I almost stopped reading your comment when you said you thought global warming was probably bunk. For me that put your comment on the seriously suspect list. As for the corn that's used, there are many different strains of corn and not all corn is grown for human consumption. As for letting your cat outside to do his business...seems that would be kind of hard if you live in an apartment.

I think you need to look at the product details. I don't know them off hand. I do know my cats enjoy the product.

Use the new light weight litter from Tidy Cats or better yet, corn based from World's Greatest Litter. Both half the weight. Corn is completely safe unlike clay based litter. Cats don't always like it however.

I work for a vet and researched uti's pretty extensively. In a nutshell, water is needed to dissolve these mineral crystals. If there is not enough water in urine the minerals bind and don't dissolve properly. Wet cat food has the same water content(approx 70%) that cats in the wild derive from prey. Cats have no nutritional need for carbohydrates of which dry foods are comprised. Realizing wet food tends to be a bit more expensive (in the short term, excluding vet bills) be sure to leave plenty of fresh water out for cats if you supplement a wet food diet with dry.

As of right now, I still think they don't like to drink from it... I heard a report (from my wife) that she saw one of the two cats drinking from it, but I have not been able to verify this myself. I have filled it up with water twice because it went below the fill line, but I'm not sure if that is due to cats drinking the water or evaporation.

My cat did the samething and then he stopped using his box all together. What I have found is do you have more then one litter box? I have just the one cat and he has three, some cats are very picky about where they do there business so by adding another litter box that can help. THIS STUFF WORKS!! Like i said my cat wasnt using his at all and now I have no more problems. Its worth it.
