It's a middle aged tabby that only eats the best dry food, and only 1/2 cup a day. I tried half a dozen dry food brands, but nothing changed. Every couple of weeks he'd get a pisser blockage. I'd take his food away and in a day it was cleared. Here's the weekly feeding schedule that solved it for good:





5 days of dry food.


1 day of no food.


1 day of sardines





No vet visit, no drugs, no catheter.

My cat had renal failure from eating quality food.

One of my cats developed chronic blockages. The vet cut its cat wiener off and sewed its urethra to its stomach. I now have a post op transvestite cat. Lots of vet, lots of bills, lots of fancy cat food.

I would strongly suggest NOT trying this on any cats that have urinary issues.  If your cat was truly blocked; it isn't the diet that fixed it (in fact he probably wasn't blocked at all but more than likely was having a bout of cystitis or a urinary tract infection-FLUTD).  If your cat is having urinary issues (especially if it is a male) i would highly suggest taking it to the vet.

In regards to the kidney disease/failure comment. Kidney disease is a common issue in older cats and while feeding quality food may have prolonged your cats lifespan, sometimes its inevitable no matter how high of quality diet you feed.

My standard treatment is casting a spell.  It's cheaper than all those tests and you know scientifically backed treatments  those money hungry vets want to do.

You've gotten lucky so far.  One of these times your cat is going to die a horrible, painful death.

Probably cystitis. The diet did fix it. I've been doing it about a year, and sometimes I'll feed him dry food for a few weeks because I'm busy, and it will come back. 100% correlation.
