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 Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
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."
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.
