I understand where you’re coming from but I have to respectfully disagree with much of what you said. I feed 3 cats on mostly raw and I spend less than 40$ a month on each raw fed cat and that’s with buying expensive cuts of meat. It’s possible to do it cheaper.
If I had a cat with bladder stones I would do everything in my power to get them on a high moisture diet. It’s not that high moisture “works” for some cats and not others. It’s a fact that cats have low thirst drives and absolutely need high moisture in their food. Your cat is drinking lots of water because he is dehydrated, not because the kibble is working. My cats on all wet drink zero water because they are properly hydrated. Cats in the wild do not go to water holes to drink. I’m not trying to say this stuff to make you feel bad, I know you’re doing your best. But I feel like it’s important for you to know that cats need high moisture and high animal protein foods. Especially those prone to bladder stones.
I appreciate your concern, however I do know all of this information about nutrition and have decided to follow my vets instructions, which have kept her healthy for the last 2 years (since the stones appeared) I know that people who feed raw are very passionate about it, but it is my choice not to do so. I trust my vet and cannot play games with my cats health, as the cost of a surgery will force me to put her down and I will not be ok with myself if that were to happen.
What cat litter do you use?
