Not sure if I want to blame Amazon or just pet food companies.
I had two cats. My first cat died around 4 years. The vet tried her best. The second cat was hitting the same symptoms and went on a special vet diet and still lives.
I got two new cats later. Decide to feed them supermarket pet food. Same symptoms as the prior cats around the same age.
I now feed them expensive cat foods that's 3x the cost. They have been happy and healthy.
I know not everyone can afford it. But I highly suspect that modern cheap catfood is full of bad shit.
What was the pet food that hurt your cats? What pet food do you give them now?
Not the person you responded to, but my vet strongly urged me to transition my cats to primarily wet food, saying that the cheapest wet food is still better than the best dry food. I could go on and on and on, but to be brief, they provide different ratios of carbs:protein (cats are obligate carnivores and require almost zero carbs) and cats that eat primarily wet food are much more likely to be adequately hydrated.
The cheap pet food at supermarkets. Anything Purina. I'd argue any supermarket pet food, but I'm not a animal nutritionist.
I currently buy pet food from small pet food stores that have a wider variety. Currently I feed them this 4-ingredient dry cat food that costs like 4x times the supermarket price, and daily wet food recommended by the vet.
I used to work at a vet clinic. Almost all the cats with new urinary blockages ate fancy feast, cat chow, or some similar Wal-Mart brand.
I would feel bad even feeding feral cats that crap.
