If you ever see someone making those purchases again speak up. Many people
conclude they have a behavioral problem or the cat is spraying because
they've heard of those things but might not be aware of the variety of
urinary tract problems there could be and in some cases how easy it is to
remedy (change of food for example). The offender isn't off the hook yet and
still could end up minus his/her happy home if the $200+ doesn't solve the
problem.

I was behind a woman who had a bag of "Cat Attract" litter. (this is
litter that's supposed to actually
attract cats. It's used also for training kittens to use the
litterbox.)

She also had two Feliway diffusers, a gallon of Nature's Miracle, a
blacklight, and a new litterbox.

It wasn't hard to guess....she must have a cat who is wee-wee-ing
inappropriately. It obviously
isn't for lack of trying--her total was nearly $200 including some cat
food.

I felt kind of sorry for that kind of desperation. I wanted to strike
up a conversation and ask if she'd
had the cat tested for UTI, but figured she might not appreciate that.
(Which is weird that I can
strike up a conversation with all you folks, but not someone standing
next to me (???? )

Anyway, whoever she is, I hope on some cat-level, the offender gets a
jolt of realization and gets
a clue what a sweet deal he's got going, with an owner who's going to
those extremes to remedy
the problem. It just made me think about how many cats get
relinquished for this reason. I'd guess it's
definitely in the top 3 reasons that people turn pets over to
shelters. We've always been so lucky
that the resident 5 have impeccable bathroom habits. Except for Yoda,
but he consistently confines
his indiscretions to towels lying on the bathroom floor.
