Hi Anne, I use to work for Iams pet foods so I know a little about cats and I am a cat lover too. One of the best ways to judge rather your cat is overweight or not is two take your thumbs and start at the neck line and go down their back. Press your thumbs lightly and see if you can feel their spine if you can't, your cat is too fat.(I didn't mean that,pleasantly plump) And cats with uti's are common;Is she/he getting enough water,cold water.....cats love cold water? IMHO,Iams is the best food out on the market. As I remember from the workshops that I attended, cats and for that matter dogs, do much better healthwise when on Iams then animals not fed Iams. I can always tell an Iams fed animal by their beautiful,shiny coats.
Good luck, Bree >I'm appealing to all cat lovers out there. Help! One of my cats keeps >getting a urinary tract infection. (She's back on antibiotics - again.)
