Don't treat with c/d for very long, or let other cats eat that. I did that and one of the other cats ended up getting an oxalate bladder stone, caused by the c/d food.
You need to give c/d initially, but can then feed S/O which keeps at the right ph and fights the opposite kind of crystals too. It's of course crappy food, ingredients-wise, which sucks for FeLV+ cats. Mine were FeLV+ too. There are some newer commercial brands that make foods comparable to prescription foods but with better ingredients, like Dave's. I have a reduced phosphorous and protein diet from Dave's for my cat with kidney failure. I am not sure but think they may make one for crystals too. You'd have to really look into it, though, and probably order it online. I think I once read that a raw diet is good for preventing crystals as well.
