You might have seen me mention this before, but KitKat was supposed to be a British shorthair. I’ve never minded that she turned out to be the fluffiest cat that ever fluffed (though my carpet has suffered somewhat because she likes to scrape off dead fur by rolling all over it), but it did add some concerns to my already worry-warty ways.

KitKat has had cystitis twice since January. Apparently, water infections can be lethal to cats, so I spent some time researching ways to minimise the risk.
Beyond preventing her from eating human food (I know, I’m a terrible cat mom) and switching her to a wet-food-only diet to reduce the minerals and whatnot in her system, the best answer I could find was to get her a drinking fountain.
I’ve only tried Cat Hampurr (read my review) so I can’t do a proper review of the others for you. Feel free to try them out and let me know what you think!
