Apple Cider Vinegar
I just wanted to thank this site for all the wonderful info and the positive Reponses. It helped A LOT I can't believe that just within 2 days you can see the difference- it's amazing. I will be adding the Apple Cider Vinegar in their drinking water 3 times a week and once a week with the wet food just to make sure that they are all healthy and happy kitties. Thanks again to everyone for the great advice and helpful tips. PS. will keep you updated on the progress.

So I came across this website. I just wanna start by saying Thank You, from the bottom of my heart, for every single post. I put Chester on the Urinary so wet food, he was on dry only but drinking a lot of water, the dry food was from the vet, some diabetes food, they said it was a weight control diet. That night, I started the ACV mixed with water. It was a store brand, nothing organic which I incorporated into his wet food. I also added less than a cap full in their water. That was at about 4pm, I awoke at 5:45am from a bad dream and Thought about Chester, I opend the door of my room and he came running to me as usual, I pet him and he went straight to the little box, this time I heard it. It wasn't the usual puddle but it was about 15 drops compaired to 2, I was so pleased, I went back to bed. When I woke up for good he was back to normal, the litter was more full but Boxer also shares the same one. I know he couldnt have filled it all by himself so I was happy. I kept giving him the diluted ACV maybe 4 times a day with a bit of food and spring water instead of feeding him twice a day like I normally do. He visited the litter box with a few drops from time to time, but less often sometimes 20 drops.
As long as I saw an improvement, I was satisfied. Mind you, I kept checking his Bladder to make sure it wasn't hard or painful to him, its seemed fine, he was eating, I kept going with the treatment. Day 3, much better mood and I would rarely see him go, litter box was still full in the morning when I'd wake up. During the day, everytime one of my cat would visit the box, I would go empty it to keep track. I will continue him on the same wet food as Boxer with a mix of dry food of the same exact brand to avoid constipation and will add the ACV for about 2 weeks or so but gradualy decrease the amount. I will add it to the food maybe once a week, just a little bit, as a preventative measure. ACV and all your posts saved my cat from this and spared by Visa. I am so grateful. I would really recommend ACV for this problem, but always keep an eye on your kitty's progress.

So now it's 10pm and she has only gone for the litter box/newpaper once in the last 4 hours. Since she was going every 15 minutes last night, I'd say that's a remarkable improvement. Question for others: although I see everyone's testimonials listed, I don't see any actual recipe/advice on how to use ACV from the owner of this site. Am I missing something? I read about 20 postings and put together my own plan based on common stories. I plan to post again in a few days with an update. Thank you all!!

Purchased the ACV "with the mother" from the grocery store and a few cans of wet food, (which my cats think are a real treat) and added 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon water and mixed with a small amount of food. The small amount of ACV was a bit overwealming smell wise and at first she was not about it, so I added a touch more food until I couldnt detect the smell anymore. She ate it, cautiously, but got it down none the less. Followed Friday with three more ACV mixes in a 24 hour period. Little change in her behavior, but she didnt seem in pain and a little less nervous. Two more treatments on Saturday and then just now I heard her in her litter box and she was finally able to release and she seemed just as relived as I was. I pray that this is the cure she needed but will continue with this routine for a few more days just to make sure.
Thank you all so much for your feedback on this matter and I am now a believer in the wonderful benefits of ACV! Thanks to all the cat lovers who saved my cat from a lot of pain but also so much stress for myself!

In the same situation as most, not able to afford a large vet bill, I found your website after my newly adopted cat showed signs of UTI. Only having her since September I was not sure if her symptoms were physical or behavioral but she had not peed for 24 hours at all so I started adding 1/4 teas. Apple cider vinegar along with a teas. of water to her canned food. This morning she had gone in the litter box and peed about twice her normal amount. I will continue this and thank you again for a natural way to help my otherwise beautiful cat.

I have given her 1/4 tsp ACV in wet food 3 times now, and also Vitamin C powder and will continue to do so. Thanks to all fellow kitty lovers for posting (and check out "Simon's Cat" on You Tube if you want a laugh)! He has really nailed kitty behavior in his animation. And one last tidbit -- anyone who has outside cats they also take care of in cold weather, check out Snuggle Safe discs that go in microwave and stay warm for 8-10 hours. Heat according to your microwave wattage and tuck in their bed/blankets. They will LOVE you even more. God speed --

I went to GNC store and purchased Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother and it cured my cat's problem within 2 days. I could not afford the vet bill that I would have undoubtedly incurred as I am sure they would have insisted on blood tests, x-rays, etc. , so this remedy saved her from a certain death. And, the cost of the _____'s was under 4 dollars. Crucial to purchase the brand vinegar with the Mother's - it visibly contains more Mother's than the organic store bought brands. I continue to give maintenance dose to ward off any reoccurance.

To see why he was licking we turned him over and saw a silica gel crystal stuck to his penis. So we bathed him and sorry to be gross, but pulled back his forskin and unblocked him.... We googled silica gel and found that the blue specks in kitty crystals were colbalt 60 or something and extremely radioactive and if they get stuck to his penis he is only going to lick them and ingest them. So we changed brands to volcanic ash which he seemed to like anyway, and much cheaper and safer than the kitty gel, and he was back to his happy self...
But yesterday... Sad face and peeing on the tiles again.. So back to the apple cider diet.. Some tuna with apple cider and fresh water with apple cider. I left him alone for half an hour and he did a really big wee... And looked happy.. So no more dry food, only wet food with apple cider vinegar and he is cured overnight.......
To all cat lovers, go get some cat grass, get a natural brand of kitty litter, slow down on the dry food , and get a dry food with urinary tract support and continually give him half a teaspoon of apple cider to two cups of water, which cats dont mind the taste of anyway... Make sure you give them pure water.... Non fluoridated or chlorinated... You can always get a syringe and dilute apple cider with water and hand squirt it into his mouth.. Take twenty minutes if you have too... Note I have read, make sure you dont make it too potent or your cat may foam at the mouth.

After two days now of using this technique twice a day, he is perkier, playful, his eyes are brighter and he is drinking more water and going less. I am grateful for this site and all you who have share your experiences with ACV. I plan to start adding to hot tea for myself!

I wanted to respond to Janet from Manchester; you might want to try switching to a different food. I had a Male cat that had this problem and the only thing that helped him was to put him on very high quality food that does not have animal-by-products in it. If that still does not work try switching to a grain free food. This is an easy thing you can do that would benefit all of your cats. Our cat that had this problem went on to live until he was 17. I hope this helps.

I posted a message well over a month ago about my nine year old cat Bobby. He was having regular bouts of not being able to pee and in a lot of pain. I took him to the vets twice and the last time the vet told me if it happened again I would have to have him put to sleep. I was devastated and searched the net for a solution. I found this site and thought I would give him a try with the ACV as well as Cantharis tablets, which I also read were good for UTI's. Since his last bout of not being able to pee I decided to buy him slices of cooked chicken which I then coated on one side with a drop of ACV and then crushed a Cantharis tablet into the same side. I then fold in half and cut up into tiny pieces. A lot easier to give to him rather than sprinkle on his food as I also have three other cats who all share the food. I did not think I would be able to do this either by forcing the tablet down his mouth. Anyway, so far he has been fine and well and I have had no problems. I give him one tablet in chicken every morning and continue to give him a chicken piece later in the day when I am home from work. I rub in a tiny drop of ACV and he loves it. I want to thank everyone on this site who has posted suggestions for this problem. Fingers crossed that he continues to have no more problems.

People, I noticed that many of you put your health and that of your pets in someone else hands. As someone who work in the field call medicine, I have one word of caution for those who do this--use your intuition, question everything, leave no stones unturned, ask for inserts for all drugs, be it pills or vaccines and read these things before you take them because you might just save yourself some agony. I know some people in the profession do not like when you ask them questions, but if you get that vibe you should seek help someplace else. I feel that genuine people who went into the field to help other people will answer your questions and will never view you as bothering them, but remember you have to ask questions and also try to take a hint. I have tried so many times to give people the opportunity to ask questions, asked them if they want to read medication inserts and 9 out of 10 times patients are so confident that they neglect to ask simple questions that could help them. I noticed one person mentioned how come his vet does not know of this simple remedy and my answer is that s/he may well know of it but if he tells you this then you would not need to visit the vet. On the other hand, s/he may have no idea that this works which means he does not understand what triggers ailments in the animal kingdom to include us. Some of us go to school and all we rely on is what we are taught. I did it for about 15 years before I realized that most times things are not working, people get sicker and more dependent on things that do them more harm than good. After stepping back from the situation, removing the blinders I realize that I can really depend on what I have thought because it appears that what I have been taught is meant to keep people sick so they can come back for more service. Think about it and listen to that little voice inside your head. Ask questions. How do I know that I would not get better whether I took that antibiotic or not? Who says I would not have been better already if I did not take that antibiotic? Did that antibiotic create another problem in my system that may take time to show up? What ingredients are in that antibiotic that I am asking for. Simple questions these may be but, you may be surprised at what you could learn. Think people- that is for yourself, and not base it on what mainstream media programs you to think.

Empressmegami from Hackensack, I think what you said is very good advice. However, the reason why most of us are here is because of the bad advice of our doctors (veterinarian and medical). For instance, if I listened to the advice of my veterinarian, he would've killed my dog. We were constantly asking questions. He said, nothing is wrong, it's nothing to worry about, it can't be that, this is the best thing for your dog. Well, after seeking resources like this site, my once almost dead dog (in the care of a veterinarian), is now getting healthier under the advice of the folks here and other places. The medical field is blind or ignorant to the damage they are causing and covering up. While not required, Nonmaleficence, primum non nocere, or "FIRST, DO NO HARM" was the first thing I learned when I was entering the medical field. It's one of the basic ethical values a medical person should be sworn to obied by. This oath seem to be overlooked by doctors. Instead they bathe in the piles of money they make dishing out harmful substances like they are candy. In short, WE do not trust our doctors advice anymore. We can't afford the risk. I urge everyone to question your doctor and then do your own research.
