We have had bad luck with male cats in the past. Most of them developed urinary crystals that caused serious blockages. We now have a five-month-old male kitten that will be neutered a month from now and we are worried about him. We feed our two adult females two meals of Science Diet dry food (morning and evening) and one meal of canned food (Friskies) in the middle of the day. They have done fine with this diet, and our vet approves.
We know that dry foods have been improved in recent years. Will it be OK to put the kitten on the above adult diet when he reaches adulthood, since our females have experienced no urinary problems with it? Or should we consider feeding him Hills Prescription Diet C/D along with the canned food, as a preventive measure? We're not sure if the C/D is meant only for cats that have already experienced urinary problems. We'll appreciate any advice you can offer.
