Teeth grinding can be a sign of pain, particularly abdominal (tummy) pain. It could also be a sign of stress. Make sure your vet has given him a thorough examination! The other behavior you're describing is normal grooming behavior. He is "filing his nails" with his teeth, grasping and...

You may recognize Gina from her 2008 photo when she just arrived at Only Natural Pet. She now comes home with me Thur-Sun, and is in the office Mon - Wed.

Hi Jennifer, Is the c/d dry or wet food? Dry c/d (or any other dry diet) does not right for these kitties. No matter what kind of crystals are present, feeding a good canned food is really the ticket. Dry food is one of the main causes of urinary tract problems in cats. This problem is, as you suspect...
