Mr. Fez's Memoirs

Recheck

Mom took me to the vet today to have my urine rechecked since I just finished my course of antibiotics for a UTI. I'm very happy to say they found no crystals and no more bacteria. So, my vet said my UTI was entirely bacterial which is not all that common in cats and usually triggered by stress. My vet asked Mom if she could think of anything that might have stressed me recently. The only thing Mom could think of was she put me (well, all of us actually) on a diet about 7 weeks ago. I was 15.2 pounds and I was NOT happy to see the 24 hour all you can eat buffet replaced by reduced calorie food and scheduled meals with controlled portions! My vet said that was probably what did it. I was stressed out about my diet and got sick! Did I think I was going to starve? Or the reduced calorie food was that bad? I'm a pretty picky eater, which most people find funny since I'm such a big cat. I finally am eating canned food for the extra water for urinary health. I have expensive taste though. I'll only eat Wellness canned food. I don't like other brands and I will NOT touch anything with chunks/flakes in it. I have been making progress with weight loss and was 13.8 pounds today at the vet.
