I had a cat with kidney problems. We took him off of tap water at the vet's suggestion. "Nursery" grade water has enough minerals to be healthy but not overload the kidneys. It can greatly improve your cat
s comfort.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
Cats are very vulnerable to a lot of chemicals. This is due to their evolution toward a virtually plantless diet. They've lost the ability to digest chemicals that appear only in plants, so those build up in the kidneys and cause illness.
But this also leaves cats vulnerable to man-made chemicals. Anti-freeze is famous, but the fire retardant in new carpet is also bad. It gets in their fur and they ingest it when they bathe.
On a side note, cats really like rolling around in dirt, and I wonder if it's for a bit of healthy geophagy.
Wishing the best for Higgins.
