I have a couple of quick questions:
1. Several of my cats like to drink out of the dog bowl. My dog's water bowl is elevated and they have to stand on their back legs to get a drink. (My dog is a 105 lb Rotti/Shepard mix) One of my cats will only drink from that bowl. Does anyone else have cats that will only drink from their dog's bowl?
2. I have a cat that had a complete urinary blockage earlier this week. He is now on wet CD food. He has had a hard time with the switch and I was having to syringe fee him most of the week. Last night I discovered that if I add extra water and puree his food he will lap it up. This is fine in the short term, but I really don't want to have to puree his food for the rest of his life (he is only 2). Has anyone had luck switching a cat to prescription food? Given how severe his blockage was I could not do a slow transition.
