My heart goes out to you. They are family members.

I have a male cat, and males are notorious for urethra blockages because of mineral build-ups. He got that, and peed little drops of blood and urine on everything.

I removed the minerals from his water by using reverse osmosis water to water the catz for a few weeks.

There is a down-side. RO water will kill anyone that uses it as a sole source, long term. It actually leaches minerals from the body.

When Sky starts the pee-pee dance, we go on RO water for a few days, until the problem clears up.

Don't know if that will help with your situation, but you have my prayers for comfort during a difficult time.

Thanks Johnny. She was my first family member since I moved out of my house (I was 19 and got her when I was 21).

Your words do bring comfort and I thank you for that (((hug))).

No.

If we obtained minerals only from our drinking water there would be some truth in this, but this is not the case.
