One of our cats, a 3 year old male Himilayan, cannot eat anything except
for his low PH food.  He has had a couple of kidney stones, and I feel
very lucky that he lived through the treatment, unlike my other male
Himilayan, who died overnight from the same problem.  He had been
operated once... I changed his diet, but I guess the ash content was
just not low enough.  This was over 5 years ago, but he was my baby.
Everest was given to me by my daughter, when she found out her boyfriend
was highly allergic to him.  I have not changed his diet except for the
couple of times I treated him to a shrimp, or some similar delicacy,
and it was not worth watching him be sick afterwards from whatever it
was. It is a kind of allergy, according to the vet.
