Ravishing Richie

[Barbara]

Richie, we are so glad your mom snatched you up just in time when you had these dangerous crystals. And now you have a clean litterbox, fish TV, fur-siblings to play with and you get your expensive diet so that you stay as handsome and healthy as we can see you know.
Have a great day, handsome boy and have some celebration as you are our COTD today

Thank goodness your new owner took you away from that deplorable situation. No food, dirty litter box? Even prisoners are treated better than that! Enjoy your wonderful, new, clean, never hungry home!

Hey Richie!!! Are you praying for warmth, too!!! I agree with the other posts, that you got out of the ex's place in the nick of time.You are quite a looker! HAPPY COTD!!

Richie, how sweet it is that you were removed from that awful place and that you got the care and love that you need. Now you're healthy and happy and will live the life you deserve. And you deserve your title of COTD, too, that's for sure! Enjoy, handsome boy.

Hello Richie, it is lovely to meet such a handsome boy this morning. I am very glad that you were whisked away to a good home just in time, sweetie.

I hope you have a great party today in celebration of your Cat of the Day status. Do all the thing you love best, and don’t stint on the growling! Humans are so terribly slow sometimes and need to be kept in line. Make sure that they spoil you rotten! You deserve no less.

Thank goodness you stepped in when you did otherwise, yes, he would not have survived. My cat Shadow had that disease (FUS) at age six and lived another 10 healthy years after that because of the change of food and litter. I am thinking though that since you said 20 pounds that you are feeding Richie mainly dry food; I am not a vet but have always had cats and volunteer for 3 rescues - dry food is often full of chemicals and fillers, even the prescription diets sold at vets. It is also causing obesity among cats (three of our vets even told us this). Cats are carnivores and need meat which they can get from moist food. In your cat's case I would suggest feeding more canned food with very low ash and magnesium and if you give any dry, low ash and magnesium is also the key and there are some very good brands on the market by Wellness and Evo that make both canned and dry, to name a few. Also, be sure you are not using clumping litter that has a warning DO NOT FLUSH on it (actually no one should be using this litter as it has an ingredient in it that causes the litter to clump in the box AND also in your cat, which can be fatal causing dehydration - many cats and dogs have perished). Listen to your vet of course but remember that it is an industry and thankfully we can educate ourselves through the internet as well. All the best to you and Richie.

Wow - I'm glad you are well, Ritchie! And i believe that you have a twin brother here in my household...just a few days ago, I had to take Whiskers to the vet for the same urinary problem! (He is currently lounging under my desk chair). And he looks like you!

Congratulations and happy Cat of the Day to you, darling Richie! I'm with your Mom...any kitty as loved as you are, who in return graces his family with so much love and laughter, is definitely deserving, more than the deserving of Pet Talk's top honors!

That's one wise mommy you've got there, Richie! We're all so very grateful to her for springing you from that dreadful home and neglectful guardian; for getting you the healthcare you needed, and none to soon! Now, healthy and whole once more, you're living the good life with your fursibs and devoted mommy and daddy to be!

Congratulations and lots of love to you on your big day, precious Richie! Hope you and the entire furry crew, are enjoying a very special day of celebration, being spoiled rotten! Hugs and smoochies to you and the crew, sweetheart!

Richie, I am so glad you got out of that awful place and went to live with your mommy who loves you! I have a furbaby that gets those nasty urinary tract blockages. He, too, is on a special diet. He gets special meds for this, also. But like you mommy said, you guys are so very worth it. Happy COTD! You are both gorgeous and loved!
