Oh hai, is me Luna. I has been a verray bad kitteah. See dis brand new mattress? Well the hoomans brought it home last weekend. They had an extra box spring fur it since they got a bigger bed fur their room. The box spring has been leaning on the wall in Eddy's room all last week. I liked to sit on it like I am here in dis piksur.When the hoomans got the old bed out of Eddy's room, and were setting up the box spring they found my purrsent (insert evil cat glare here). I pee'd all over the top of the box spring whiles it was leaning up on the wall. Now they had no wheres to put their new matterss muahh ha ha. I mean... oh sworry.
Earlier dat day, I also was rutting around on the woofies bed. I pee'd on it right in front of dem! HELLO HOOMAN pay attention to me!!! After dat they became suspicious and took the black light around... then I was in furry bad trouble. They found my spray marks all over the wall going into Eddy's room. It smells like bleach now... the humom didn't seem too happy to clean it.
I had to visit the V-E-T last Monday. They thought I had a UTI or crystals in mah bladder. I was sent home wif a pee collecting kit - AKA some rocks and an eye dropper type thing MOL. Like I would pee on rocks. I was locked in the 1/2 bathroom for 4 hours! Can you believe that?! THE NERVE. I made sure they knew of my extreme displeasure by meowing non stop the entire time.
Finally the boy hooman talked some sense into the humom and put me in the big bathroom upstairs. I had to spend dah whole night in there! When my humom got up in the morning she was happy I peed in the rocks and she got a sample fur the v-e-t. I got to go in the basement/catland after that. About time!
After a week of being confined to Catland, I am FREE and enjoying mah window seat. The hoomans went to PetSmart last night and got me some Feliway. Now evfurryfing smells weird. I is being snoopervised constantly to make sure I do not pee anywhere. Come on guys, has some faith in meh! The V-E-T said I has crystals in my bladder. It hurts :( so now they got me new kitteah food dats Science Diet purrscription to lower the PH of my pee. Hopefully fings can get back to normal. I still do not like Eddy... Zulu is a traitor, he goes and smells his butt whenever I'm not looking /growl. 
Your mom might find the info at www.catinfo.org helpful--especially regarding urinary tract issues. BTW, crystals CAN form if the testing of the urine is delayed, so just because your urine indicated crystals does not mean you truly have them. The only way to get an accurate sample is to have the vet take some urine via needle and test right away. The mom has had to do a lot of research lately because of Derry's bout of cystitis. Your vet ought to have told you right away that crystals can form before the sample is tested, when you bring in it in from home. There are LOTS of vet sites on-line that will tell you this and give you good info.
ReplyDeleteGood luck.
P.S. If you stay on that diet, you need to have your pH checked from time to time, because low pH diets can actually lead to oxalate stones which do not dissolve (like struvite crystals do) and *will* cause a blockage. The best way to clear struvite crystals is via increased water intake, which usually means an all-canned or mostly canned diet.
ReplyDeleteOops. You sure were in big trouble. Sure glad your folks checked you out with the vet.
ReplyDeleteyikes! I am a bad Cat too, I spray when I'm upset. Mommy works verreh hard to keep me happy but still sometimes I do it.
ReplyDeleteWe are all purring that your bladder feels better, and soon!

(Sigh) Scylla gotta us all in bad trouble for the same thing. Nothing wrong with Scylla cept she just wasn't happy.
ReplyDeleteLuna, I hope you feel better soon! It sounds like you are stressed out and not feeling good at the same time.
ReplyDeleteBTW, the way the vets get our pee here is by sticking a big needle into our abdomens and sucking it out - how evil is that?
Aw, Luna, we know you didn't mean to get into trouble, but sometimes you just can't help it. We hope that food helps you and the feliway does too. Y'know, we got feliway plugged in all over our house...like 5 diffusers!!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon, pretty Luna! Crystals are very painful. It's not your fault that you left peemail efurrywhere. You'll quit when you get well. Purrs being sent to you. xoxo
ReplyDeleteFanks evfurryone. So far no pee messes =^_^= Hey Sparkle they wanted to put the stabby with a needle in my bladder too but I had no pee to give them. I went in my box before we left fur the vet so they injected water under mah fur. I looked like a fuzzy hunch back!
ReplyDeletePurring for you my dear, I hope you're ok. Rumblemum says that your folks should get some enzyme cleaner for urine marking - apparently bleach doesn't totally get rid of the smell for cats.
ReplyDeleteOwn Luna, I´m purrig to you feel better!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOooh, sorry you are having some potty issues. I had bladder stones, and my vet said I must stop all dry foods and eat canned food only so I have lots of fluids.
ReplyDeleteI was told early on that what I sprayed on the wall was not to be considered holy water, hehehe!
ReplyDeleteSorry you had such a bad time. Hope you get better soon, my furriend!
