It's too early to declare victory yet, but I think Shula may have had a turnaround. After the last round of barfing and worse I switched Shula from Purina One Urinary Health Formula dry food* to Purina Cat Chow Indoor Formula. He's had that dry food before and he quite liked it; I figured if he was going to be eating cat food with a high grain component he should at least get one that was formulated with hairballs and potential weight issues in mind. Last night while I was on the phone and had Kamella in the room with me I heard what sounded like litterbox scraping noises, and while I can't guarantee that it wasn't there before, when I went into the room with the litterbox in it there was... evidence... that he'd had a successful time.

We'll see. If he hasn't made a horrific mess when I come home tonight I'll go with the assumption that he did, in fact, have a success yesterday and keep him off the Purina One.


*He normally gets two small meals of wet food and one of dry per day so that even if he doesn't drink from the water bowl he gets extra water in his diet
