​​One of the causes of Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) is a harmful condition in which urinary crystals form, irritating the cat’s bladder and potentially creating a blockage for the passage of urine. This causes intense discomfort resulting in straining and difficulty urinating. When a blockage occurs, toxins build up in the blood, which can be fatal if not removed. Anytime a cat is observed straining and not producing urine, it is ​an emergency situation. One cat who suffered from FLUTD was the McNeills' own, Lambert.

Like many feline family members, Lambert, a neutered male cat, started producing crystals in his urine, irritating his bladder and causing discomfort. The McNeill family thankfully took notice of this, and after medications and diet treatments had limited success, Lambert eventually underwent urethral surgery ​to shorten his urethra and enlarge the opening, preventing further blockages and allowing him to make a full recovery.
 
Lambert was fortunate that his owners were observant and provided him the care he needed, affording him a ​long healthy life. It is inspiring that the McNeills are striving to educate pet owners about the dangers of Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease because such education could save many cats' lives.
