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.

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."

—Mike Farrell, actor, political activist, and author of Just Call Me Mike and Of Mule and Man

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:

"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."

—Paul Hawken, coauthor of Natural Capitalism and author of The Ecology of Commerce

From Cracking the Code:

"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."

—Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen
