Ok, actually the kitty litter question did not have anything to do with....the kitty. I just needed to know if anyone had that Sam's club brand so you could post the ingredients that are on the side of the container.
You'd better be sitting down for this one or you'll fall down laughing.
Mike had a kidney stone. He had horrible, colicky, intermittant pain. After a week or two it went away. Then a week later, he passed a stone.
It was small, but kidney stones, even small ones, can cause horrible pain.
He took it in to have it analyzed by the urologist (it's good to know what KIND of stone you have---uric acid, calcium something or other, etc etc)
They said it'd take a week to analyze (they send it to an outside lab)
In the meantime, we all teased him that it looked like a piece of kitty litter (do you know where this is heading??)
A week passes. No word from the urologist.
Two weeks pass. No word from the urologist.
Mike calls. Results are still not back.
Three weeks pass. No word.
FOUR weeks pass. Mike calls again. Both the receptionist AND the nurse say the results DID come in, but.....well....they aren't quite sure how to interpret them and the doctor won't be in until Monday.
Mike convinces them to fax him the report since he's a physician.
The report comes over.
It's not a uric acid stone.
It's not a calcium whatever stone.
It's not a (fill in the blank with 10 different kinds of stones)
It's.....it's.....it's.....quartz! Which is silica...
which, you guessed it...is a major component of kitty litter!
Best we can figure is Mike picked up the cat, a piece of litter got on him, he used the restroom and at the precise moment he was going, the litter fell from his sweatshirt!!!
Yes....I have been

here most of the afternoon.
But we do think it's QUITE amazing that he can pee cat litter and we're thinking he should change careers and get a job with Tidy Cat!!!
