She could learn to code.
Most cats who die from UTI-related maladies are not fed well. Boxed or bagged food, typically. We had two cats who my mom insisted on giving real food. Sardines, tuna, chicken, etc. One lived to 17.5, the other 22.
Yes twisted thinking for sure. Most issues are like that for the left. They fight hard against the death penalty for criminals too and yet they are determined to murder babies. They support having no children or only one because...overpopulation will ruin this country and the planet, yet support mass illegal immigration into this country. Makes zero sense, no logic to it.

My 21-year-old polydactal refuses to eat much besides Meow Mix, mice, a few tablespoons of cream, the occasional morsel of fresh cooked chicken or beef and maybe a teaspoon or so of natural pan juice. Once in a great, great while, she’ll deign to eat a mouthful or so of some canned cat food. She still goes out and still hunts, can jump up on things.
She has hyperthyroid and gets medication daily for the past year or so. Actually, a feast of mice this winter seemed to improve her condition so much, we cut her meds back by half for several months. She even killed a large vole, but, of course, had no intention of eating it.
Our vet is amazed. His oldest feline patient to date made it to 23. We hope Smidge will get at least that old.
Yeah somehow I do not feel for the owners loss of income. Their cat yes.
Pet influencers? What the hell is that?
The little cat made the owners millions by all accounts. They should have planned ahead. If they didn’t toughsky shitsky. Deal with it.
Amen to that.

Grumpy Cat always makes me chuckle. I trust the owners are financially responsible.
Finding a fake problem with Grumpy Cat is what MSN does.
Since cats do not drink much water, and when they do they prefer it to be tasty [well-oxygenated like water found outdoors] and moving if possible ...the combination of dry food - even if of great quality- and stagnant, seldom-changed water can cause kidney/urinary problems because the cat is reluctant to drink the amount of water necessary to properly hydrate food.
You can wet the food by soaking but you would have to prepare just a little at a time so it is consumed before it spoils. But that would defeat the purpose of dry food, which is for convenience, especially if you are leaving the cat while going on vacation.
