Stupid Cat Owner = me

Saturday, we celebrated Greg’s Mom’s birthday. We went to Mount Dora and ate lunch at the British Tea shop, which had some awesome mushroom & brie soup, and we all had tea which was fun and the soup was excellent. Afterwards, we looked around in the various shops. There is a doggie bakery there, and they also sell some kitty treats. Thinking it a *great* way to get some real meat into Sylvanis for a change (seeing as even though I picked the best I could, her food still contains an exorbitant amount of corn, meal, and wheat instead of MEAT) I bought some freeze-dried salmon treats. I fed her one as soon as we got home and she gobbled it up. I was happy.
Fast forward to last night. Kitty is trying to pee all over everything, and I look and there’s mucus in her urine again, meaning she’s starting to get another UTI. I hit myself stupid over the head. SALMON IS ONE OF THE FOODS THAT CAUSES PH IMBALANCE AND MAKES CATS HAVE UTI! AUGHGH! So I threw them away, ran to the store for some fresh kitty litter and fancy feast. I got the really really expensive kind with meat and eggs and no fish! She ate quite a bit of the white meat and egg florentine last night. She got turkey and greens this morning. Hopefully, the extra liquid and total lack of fishy requisites will clear up her system like it did the last time. I’ve come to the realization that she’s just touchy on these things, so as long as it doesn’t persist/get worse, there’s no need to see TED. *bangs head on wall*
