Caturday Art (and Vet Results)

 

Hey pals!

It's the weekend and us kitties are ready to party!

Hint hint - bacon makes an excellent Kitten Bowl (or Super Bowl if you MUST) snack. 

Momma got my numbers back from da vet this week - and it are good news! My bloodwork wuz good - my BUN wuz barely elevated but my creatine wuz good. Da vet thinks da BUN wuz because I am on a high-protein low-carb diet. But da numbers my momma wuz more worried about wuz da urinalysis - and dat news wuz pawsome! NO crystals and da vet said my peeH wuz pawsome! So it wuz good news and I get to keep eating Tiki Cat.

We're happy we are doing the right thing - it can be confusing to figure out when you have a crystal-prone kitty.

We relied a lot on the info on Cat Info (in consultation with our vet) and have basically stuck with Tiki Cat wet food and avoided the sardine varieties since they are too high in phosphorus. Which means I even get to enjoy some fishy foods (although momma duz try to make sure I don't eat fish exclusively any day). The normal problem with fish and crystal-prone kitties is the high phosphorus levels in fish foods from ground up fish bones. But for most fish varieties (tuna, salmon, etc.) Tiki Cat does not grind up fish bones. The only varieties that seem to be a problem are the sardine ones, so we don't buy those.

Of course, we always recommend you follow your vet's advice for your kitty, we're just sharing what worked for us. We like that Tiki Cat is more nutritionally appropriate for cats than a lot of the urinary health foods.

Plus it are delishus! And momma likes the packaging (not that it really matters, but it are a cute bonus and the retro cool kitty is right up da momma's alley). 

Ok, now on to da momma's Caturday art contribution.

Have a pawsome weekend pals!
