Kiki is grudgingly eating her Hills food. She's has to fight off her son who wants to eat it.

As she has an obesity problem, if she eats less that might not be an entirely bad problem.

We have a follow up with our vet on Saturday for some x-rays. We will discuss with the vet about switching to Royal Canin urinary tract foods. We will invest in canned food and try mixing in a little water.

Kiki remains a lovely and peaceful cat, and appears healthy. We have not noticed blood in her urine. She may have just passed a stone.

I really, really, really appreciate everyone's gracious and thoughtful responses. They have been most helpful.

Thanks again to everyone.
