Hey! At least it's not a one line vanity.
plus my cats said post this or they will be very upset with me.
...cats with such illnesses should be fed wet food and encouraged to drink more fluid by adding tuna-flavoured ice cubes to water.
Make sure ya don't get the ice trays mixed up, tho. ;-)

This group of diseases of the bladder is most commonly seen in pedigree, middle-aged, overweight male cats which don't go out much and eat a dry food diet. This explains that pu$$y Michael Moore.

I find that a little nappy works wonders when I'm stressed too. :-)

My cat gets stressed out if one of her 27 daily naps is briefly interrupted.

Huh! When my cat, Alexis Colby Carrington gets in a SNIT, she pees on the bath mats and hides. Otherwise, she's snotty, fat and sassy.

Experts compared 31 cats with bladder disease to 24 healthy cats in the same households and used a control group of 125 other healthy cats. Sick cats generally got more stressed by other cats in the house, they said. "This group of diseases of the bladder is most commonly seen in pedigree, middle-aged, overweight male cats which don't go out much and eat a dry food diet...University researchers suggest cats with such illnesses should be fed wet food and encouraged to drink more fluid by adding tuna-flavoured ice cubes to water. More proof that dogs have owners, cats have staff.

It's with all the elections and zotting of trolls and what - poor Viking Kitties!
When my Good Kitty gets stressed, she cries. When my Evil Kitty gets stressed, he just comes in and sinks his claws into us for no good reason. I'd do something about him, but he's my mother's favorite and he gets to sit AT THE TABLE AT DINNER.
So, as you can imagine, there's a whole lot of crying and clawing around here lately. I'll be glad when this election is OVER!

Yes, without doubt, the animal I pity the most is a lazy, untrainable, well-fed, ankle-swiping, dis-loyal, shed-machine cat. Awwwwwww.

Anyone know of an easy way to get a cat to swallow his pills?
(My cat has hyperthyroidism and has to take 2 pills a day, which is quite a struggle--even though he's usually a pretty laid back cat )

My cat was stressed after a 5 day car ride from NY to CA. He hid under the bed of my new apartment for 4 days.

I've seen and used a pill popper for pets. It's basically a tube with a rubber tip that you put the pill in, and there's a piece inside the tube you push on to pop the pill out of the rubber tip.
Obviously, you stick it in the dog's or cat's mouth kind of far back so they can't spit it out, and then push the button. It works really well.
Here's one of them:
