Hi everyone I'm new to this forum!

Just wondered if anyone was having the same problem as me. My cat George who is 2 has been diagnosed with crystals in his urinary tract and is very poorly! He had to have a catheter fitted last weekend and is now going to be on a special diet for the rest of his life. I'm constantly watching over him to make sure he goes for a wee but the last couple of days he is point blank refusing to go for a wee unless I clean out his litter tray beforehand! Also he will not drink from a bowl and will only drink running water. I was wondering if this whole problem is behavioural?? I have a younger cat who isn't having any of these problems but George seems to be the troublesome one lol.

Is anyone else having problems such as this?

i'm off to bed but i will reply to this more in depth in the mornin. sorry i'm knackered. i have loads of ideas and info for you. George will be fine.

One of our old moggies, almost 10, has this problem.

He tends to only want to eat dry food so we have to buy him a special one.

You should probably try a water fountain as it encourages them to drink.

Yes, the water fountain is a good idea for George. You could maybe add an extra litter tray too.
