Will my cat recover from his urinary blockage?
Dear Most Esteemed and Knowledgeable Kitties: My cat has a urinary blockage and is at the vet right at the moment. We had to admit him a second time since he became blocked again within a day. He has struvite crystals. Both times we’ve taken him in, the catheter was not able to be passed through to his bladder.

You might remember my mom from her earlier message to you regarding her first cat, Figo. Well, I was living in a shelter, and even though mom wasn’t thinking about bringing another cat into her home, I had other plans!
